      Wonderful job!

      It is "custom"ary to provide us with your recipe for making your customs. Soooo, where did you get the head? the shield? the wings? etc.

      Inquiring minds want to know.

      Thanks

                That's really nice. Reminds me of the old Filmation cartoon.
                Warm up?! We may as well sit around this cigarette!

                      I want to say first, thank you to everyone for the kind words!
                      I was at work last night when I posted him so it was kind of quick post. That's why I skipped on the recipe. Lemme see if I can remember which various Hawkmans I robbed parts from...lol!
                      The head is a resin Hawkman head that I got from Doc Mego. Dremeled the original beak of and sculpted the new one out of Milliput...my first real venture into sculpting, and painted by me. It was a real BOOGER getting the flesh tone to match anywhere close to the bodies flesh tone.
                      The body is a Cast A Way body.
                      The costume pants are from Brian Leitner. Dude sews a mean costume.
                      The boots are DC RA Superman boots.
                      The belt is from a DC 9" Superman.
                      The chest harness and ball and chain is from a DC Direct First Appearance Hawkman.
                      The mace is from a DC Universe Classics Hawkman.
                      The sheild is from a DC Direct Hawkman and Hawkgirl 2 pack with GA and SA helmets.
                      The straps for the sheild are from the Wal Mart exclusive WW2 Captain America sheild.
                      And last but not least, the wings are from a DC Direct Brightest Day Hawkman.
                      Next to Captain America, Hawkman is one of my all time faverites, so he was a labor of love. With the combination of me working slow (I'm my own worst critic), cobbling together all of the parts (I love accessories) and re-sculpting the beak, he took me the better part of a year to do but I'm very happy with the results. Again, thanks to everyone for the kind words.
