    My NOVA 2.0

    When I did my first custom Nova, it was for an MM member who wanted it on a budget.
    I made it with a Mego Star Trek body and painted the boots, used electrical tape, etc.

    It turned out nice, but I promised a 2.0 one day, the way I really wanted to do it.

    Here it is:

    Once again his head is from Brian Leitner, painted by me. The body is a Doc Mego Swivel Bicep Buff body.
    I could not find a Navy suit anywhere to buy (even though I ask David Lee, and CTVT for more of them all the time),
    so I asked Theressa to make the suit. It's beautifully done! I don't know why I didn't have her do the yellow sleeves, but I added those.
    This time he gets Cast-A-Way Navy boots with yellow added to the tops, CAW/Zica fists painted yellow, and bracelets made from CTVT gauntlets, cut shorter and painted. I made the shoulder cuffs, and the belt, and I painted the stripes down the side of his pant legs. Paul Wasson made the sticker.

    There is another MM member with a bigger budget, waiting for this one!

    Thanks for looking!

                            I LOVE classic Nova. Nothing beats him. Nicely done! I like the material used on the belt and the shade of blue used in his costume is perfect. Cool paint apps too! Great work!
