    Mr. Terrific

    Or Mr. Decent, you be the judge. This guy was a pain to do, and I have no idea if I was remotely successful. I couldn't imagine the lengths I'd go through to get him done and almost just gave up on this last week. I used fabric markers and metallic red ribbon for the jacket. BTW, fabric markers are a rip off. They are no better than your average freezer marker. I'd never had one before and I won't again. Anyway, here's the third smartest man on Earth.

      Cool, I bet that was a pain in the butt custom. Nice work.

              That looks like a tough one. He came out great.

                          Damn!! I thought this was a post about me. Nice job on the figure.
                          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                              Looks very nice, I made one a while back. He is a tough one to do.

                                      Nice Job Scott - so did you end up with more glue on your fingers and places you didn't want it than you did?

                                          Actually the glue I use is incredibly easy and mess free. It's called Locktite. It somes in a great container that allows forthe finest of tiny drops and a little goes a long way. Best stuff ever.

                                          The problem was cutting the trim and making it fit because it wasn't easy to contour around the collar and bottom of the jacket. Plus this jacket was completely white before I started this. I used fabric marker and sharpie to make it black. I had some black on my fingers and got a little on the white.

                                          Overall, I had to make this figure since I had the jacket specialy made, but it could have been better. This was a learning experience.

                                          In recap, the best glue to use for customs is...LOCKTITE, in the grey/red bottle.

                                                  First off, I'd like to thank the acadamy...

                                                  Seriously, thanks. This was a complete shock and I'm a bit humbled. I really didn't think this guy was all that, but I'm a pretty harsh critic of myself. I appreciate all the comments I've received over the last eight months or so and all the tips and suggestions. I listen to everyone, some more than others, though.
