    Union Jack!!!

    A few months back I took on this project for a guy who had just recently bought a custom Mego Moon Knight from me on eBay.
    He was pleased with Moon Knight, and asked me if I could create a custom Union Jack for him.
    I told him that I would give it some thought, because most of my customs were wearing Brian Leitner costumes.
    I told him that I would take it on, and for the first time, I created my own suit, and created my own head.
    The decal was designed by me also, and printed on an inkjet printer, and ironed on the front and back of the costume.
    The body was Mego with Castaway navy hands, and the belt and weapons were CTVT (the sheath for the knife was added by me).
    What do you all think of my (very own) custom Union Jack figure?

    That is a really nice figure. I've had UJ on the backburner for years as I tried to figure out how to do the striping. Still haven't. I think your solution is awesome. Outstanding work on a custom that is rarely taken on.
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

              Those colors turned out great. I'm surprised that's an iron on.

                      That is absolutely outstanding...I'd love to see you tackle Baron Blood!

                      Cap 253-254 with him returning to England after the war to battle Baron Blood is my favorite Cap story of all time.
