    Great idea using Testors paint. I was hoping the CTVT shorts would be more of a bright red, more similar to the boots. I didn't realize how different they actually were until I took the picture.

          I like this one a lot. Nice work. How did you do the things on the shoulders?

            I cut some crescent shapes out of some yellow material (like the capes are made of). At first I tried sewing the material into the seam between the body piece and the arms, but it didn't look quite right. I finally glued the yellow pieces onto the seam with fabric glue and it worked better.

                    Looks great. The head and outfit are both spot on.
