    Ultraman



    Yep. Didnt realize I stenciled the lower leg decal backwards until I dressed the figure. The suit is the real story behind this. Its a BLiet jumpsuit I bought at MM09. It was so perfect and I had a million ideas what I wanted it to be. Micheal Renee from the day the earth stood still was what I really would have liked this suit to be used for. Or lost in space or ... trust me. I had a bunch of ideas all inspired by this great suit Brian had sewn. But a really good ultraman head came to me from a used game store vynil figure and that settled it!

        Cool! There were also some Ultraman Pez heads that work pretty well if you convert them to Mego heads. I keep meaning to have one enlarged just a tad so I can make a removeable helmet for my Ultraman Leo.

          That is perfect, very awesome. How did you paint the red on the silver suit? What type of paint?

                I use airbrush fabric paint. but I brush it on by hand. I mount the suit to a flat cardboard sillouette. Sometimes it needs a little spraymount on the card board to stop the fabric from shifting about. Then I cut stencils in masking tape and apply to the cardboard supported suit. The biggest tip I can give is. After loading the brush with a little paint. Your brush stroke should start on the masking tape and draw towards the fabric area you wish to paint. I tried airbrushing but there is something a bout these fabrics or maybe the small surface area. The paint always seemed to work its way beneath the masking. Hand brushing lite amounts of paint in the above fashion and building up the desired coverage of color always gives me the best result.

                    Great to see Ultraman in Mego-style! Thanks for the info on how you painted the costume. I'd like to know how you converted/adapted the head…

                          That is great. I am at this moment working on one of these with my son. I think ours will be a little different approach on the paint ops tho, as I want him to have a piece of the building pie.

                          Awesome fig and very inspiring.
