    Colonel Steve Austin...Astronaut...a man barely alive...

    Man as soon as I saw the BASA head I knew that I would realize a childhood dream... a 8 inch SMDM! When Jason offered it I was all over it!

    I went old school on this one since it looks like a "toy" I stuck with it. I also went with the more "OSI undercover" denim leisure suit look. The bionics are cloth stickers, the images I took from the 70's BionicTattoo set shrunk way down.

    Anywho... I will likely make a card for this guy and put him on eBay... fun stuff!

      That is one sweet looking figure. Very retro.

              That is beyond cool! But you should make another and keep it for yourself!

                                  Very good. I never understood why Mego never made an 8" figure of him. Nice.

                                          Great job on him. While I loved my Kenner Steve Austin - I would have loved an 8 inch figure as a kid - he would have gotten more play time. You really captured him well and given him that 70s feeling.

                                                      Great ideas often lead to great customs, Well done Man I would love it if someone would put out a Steve Austin Mego, I'm sure many a person on this board would share my feelings...

                                                          Looks great, but for some reason the denim has me thinking The Fall Guy.
