    Invisible Man

    The Boy helped me out with this one.
    I never got my hands on the MegoCon version, but at this year's Mego Meet, Sean found me a box of goodies at Austin's table (I think, he can correct me if wrong).
    Got the MegoCon box and the head.
    He also might have gotten the smoking jacket in that box too, or maybe he's had it for a while.
    Sean also got me a clear CAT body with swivel biceps.

    I told Sean a challis of red wine would really help set the tone...and behind my back the kid worked one up with some hot glue, a screw, and the cut off end of a pen cap.

    Took some time on this holiday to work him up.
    Sean took the pics cuz he is way better at it than me lol

          Looks great, I hope my old school repro box wasn't too worse for wear.

                Ahh that's right...which means there's more of those bodies out there!

                Yessir. Your stuff holds up excellent over time.

                Thanks for the comments.
                To weather the head I did -
                I thinned brown paint out with water until it was basically colored water.
                Brushed it on a couple times to let it sort of dry a bit between coats.
                Dampened a qtip in water and rubbed on some of the larger areas to wipe down to the resin a little.

                Lenses of his glasses were a thinned mixture of black and metallic white.

                He sports a Mego Frankenstein body suit. The shirt was colored in with a marker or something, dunno...it was in some fodder I got a while back.

                His scarf is an old tshirt. Cut a couple strips and laid like a towel over his shoulders.

                I love how you can see through his body - you can see the goblet through his fingers lol

                    That is all kinds of cool. Really liking the way you did the head, turned out terrific. The transparent limbs complete the ensemble of perfection.
                    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

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

                              Looks great. Tell the lad he did Pop proud.

                              I did however half expect to see a picture of an empty backdrop when I read "Invisible Man"
