    Captain America, Hero of WW2!


    Revamp of my Cap, reused the helmet, head, sweatshirt and shield. New fatigue pants from Sigma 6. All the soft goods, pants, harness and pouches soaked in coffee and drybrushed to look more battleworn. Repainted the face as an experiment following how to's for 12 inch military figures. I've been looking at a lot of threeA figures lately and wanted to apply some of that look to the Avengers...watch for the Golden Avenger soon!

        That shield has seen as much action as Cap's real one! Love the helmet!

              Total badassery Joe! Love the look of the character, and the paints on his shield. I dig 3A as well!

                      Absolutely love it!

                      Now THAT is the epitome of thunderboltesque!

                      *Personal preference: I would paint the helmet to match the dark blue of the shirt.

                            Thanks all, weather permitting I hope to get some Avengers shots today. Working on a light up Mjolnir, too.
