    The Fastest Man Alive...

    Inspired by The Flash that Boss made this summer, I decided to take a stab at one of my favorite DC heroes as I am not completely happy with the Mattel version.

    Head: Sculpted by Matt "Next2LastMohican" Mejia, painted by me
    Body: Type-S
    Bodysuit: Custom tailored and sewn by me
    Boots: Modified Doc Mego yellow hero boots
    Chest Emblem and Lightning Bolts: Paul at LaserMego, Thanks Paul!

    I hope everyone enjoys seeing him as much as I enjoyed making him.

    Thanks for stopping by and giving him a look.

    John

    Dude, that's a slick custom. Really vibrant and dynamic. The head paint is terrific and the suit turned out nicely. Really impressed with this figure.

          Very cool figure. Love the action shots. I'd say the lips look a little too red to me (may just be the picture), but that notwithstanding, that head looks killer.

                Thank you so much, Random Axe. I am a HUGE fan of your work and this ^ made my morning.

                Thank you BATMAN89. I will be experimenting with Photoshop more often

                BTW, I love your avatar...so much so that it is the inspiration for my first Batman custom that I am hoping to have finished by Christmas.

                Thanks piecemaker! My wife agrees with you, she called the Mattel one "drab".

                Thanks sprytel. Yes, getting the perfect lip color is what is vexing me, the color that I have been using is Delta Sunkissed Coral as I thought it looked right but, you're right it does have too much red in it. I will have to try another or try mixing in another color to damp down the red.

                Thanks Boywonder0. You are so right, I have not had this much fun in a long time.

                          Nicely done. Excellent paints.
                          This and Boss' has given me a kick to attempt my own now.

                          Beautiful work.
