    Red Skull made from tire valve cover

    New Red Skull.JPGNew red Skull 2.JPG This is my first attempt at a custom mego. The head is a chrome valve cover used on cars. I just painted it red. Not perfect but not bad for a first attempt.

    Awesome, where did you get the tire valve cover? A chrome skull figure would be very cool.

        Chrome tire valve cover are available at Canadian Tire in Canada, and at Pep Boys in the USA. A pack of 2 was about 5 dollars. I am going to use the other chrome skull to make a custom ghost rider. I have a fonz motor cycle jacket and some black pants as well as some mego correct size chain from a fuel dust cap at work. I just need to figure out how to add the flames to the top of his head. Any ideas? Maybe a cardboard cutout of some flames trimmed to fit his head.
