    Flash Gordon

    Here's a version of Flash I made a while back based on the Al Williamson/Filmation version of the character. It's not much; I just used the Bif Bang Pow figure (and his belt) as a base, kitbashed along with various repro items from CTVT and Doc Mego. The yellow stripes on his legs (which you really can't see) are fabric paint, and the yellow cummerbund thing and three yellow chest circles are made from yellow duct tape. I originally used ribbon, but the duct tape was much easier to control and actually looked nicer when finished. Anyway, it couldn't have been easier and is kind of sad, in comparison to some of the real talent around here, but I thought you might want to see it for kicks. Hope you enjoy it! Oh, almost forgot--I posed him next to the original BBP version for a compare/contrast.

                  That looks terrific, simple and very effective! Great job!
                  "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                      Thanks, guys! I'm not really happy with how the gun belt came out and plan on having another go at it. I appreciate the kind words!
