    Classic Wildcat

    THis guy has always been a favorite of mine since early childhood reading Brave and Bold Comics. I've always been partial to this version with the fingerless gloves. I don't know at what point they introduced the wrist wraps, but I'm not a huge fan of them.

    Anyway, at first glance you'd think this is an easy figure to make. I thought so too. I used a Zica body, so getting a nice, form-fitting suit was a little tough. I sculpted a little more onto his shoulders to accomodate a neck plug too small for the hole and added my own version of boot feet.

      Bad ar$e

      If you want to tighten up the suit a bit to show off the muscles use a binder clip in the back on the waist. Pinch the fabric together, pulll back so it is tight around the waist and attached the clip. Make sure you use a small oneso you can't see it in front.

              Nice job. This guy is totally under appreciated.

                    Your the master Scott! Wildcat looks just as he should....mean as heck and ready for a fight!

                    I too remember learning about the character in an old Brave and the Bold comic...the one where he had the poison mace type boxing gloves and had to fight Bats. I also read an old Golden Age comic one of my uncles had sitting in his camper when I was a kid. The original Golden Age character was a tough customer. Sometimes he had big cat feet, others he didnt, but he never had the taped up hands till the eighties at the earliest.
