    TV's Wyatt Earp Hugh (Hugh O'Brian) kitbash










    After stealing the costume off a retro Mattel Superman, I wanted to use the figure for something. It came to me that Hugh O'Brian looked a bit like Superman. So I ctvt pants boots, hat and shirt, A Baracula vest and a cool castaway holster and gun set. It's not a dead-on likeness, but I think he looks pretty good.

    Nice! I think you captured his look! I like your Vigilante too!

      good use of the figure, it does have a resemblance. Now that I look at it, that head sort of reminds me of Rod Taylor, too.

          That's very cool custom, good likeness and the Vigilante is pretty awesome too.

            I see some Time Machine customs coming. Grab a Tomland Morlock and you're good to go!

              I'm sure you all can tell but the Vigilante is an excellent Brian Leitner costume on a retro Mattel Batman.

                Looks fantastic.
                Great head choice I never ever would have picked that one.
                Nice job sir.

                      They both look great Terry! - Where did you get the vest for Wyatt?

                      Funny that you put these together in a way - makes you wonder who would win a fight out of these 2
                      Thats an awesome praise when you think about it - cause Wyatt was a real person and Vigilante is a comic book hero.

                        The vest came off a Baracula Presidential Monsters figures. The clothes on those figures are outstanding.
