    The U.S.Agent with a few Avengers

    Finished!!

    The body suit is mine.
    The head was an original Mego that has been repainted.
    The silcone gloves are my creation (make my own gloves now)
    Body and Boots came from CTVTs
    The shield is a repainted Captain America shield.

    Might give U.S.Agent the "beef job" treatment because now Captain America is more muscular when I stand them together.


    I love the fact that U.S.Agent is back in the black suit with the metal shield. He gave that suit a personality and just when I got used to it, they put him in that ugly suit with the photon shield in the 90s.
    Now that he is back in this black suit, I had to make him. He is one of my favorite super heroes and I just needed an excuse to make this suit.










    The rest of my Avengers...




    Hey Angel! Fly your butt out of the picture. You are not an Avenger!

    Pretty sweet, I like him.
    Question: do you dip the hands in plastidip to create the gloves?
    The shape of the sleeves of the jumpsuit are showing through, you might want to fiddle around a little more to take care of that cause it looks a little weird.
    But other than that I have to say great job.

        No plastic dip. Just something that I am working with. Not allowed to speak about it.

        I am in the process of learning how to make my own plastic gloves. The stuff I work with I have to "fit them" and sometimes doing that, the molecules when they are warm actually shrink around the hand and sleeve when they cool off but you don't want to put them on after they've cool otherwise they won't fit.

        So, I am doing a serious of tests this week. I might try to design a "dummy arm" (using a broken off mego doll left and right arm) for the plastic gloves I am making, and I think I might be able to create that "flare look" at the ends by manipulating the plastic when it is cooling off. I need to call the plastic master and talk to him tonight.

        Things should start shaping up. All have resolved the glove issue by the New Years and go back and "fix up" these figures.
