    Project Golden Age: Magno the Magnetic Man

    Hey, all. I've been mostly doing E-am figures and prototypes for various future ventures, so I'm starting to make customs just for me now. After a disastrous 2015 I honestly didn't know if I'd continue in the hobby. I am now fully into the golden age, public domain characters revitalized by the Project superpowers books from several years ago. This guy just had the look I wanted to bring myself back with, and I think I succeeded. I really wanted to finally make use of all those metallic suits I sewed up years ago, and these characters seem to come alive with them.









    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

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

      Very cool, stands out nicely, sort of has a sci-fi look to it. I really like the cape, was it bought or custom made?

          The Cape is FTC. I don't have any yellow fabric handy and I always go through three capes before making a workable one. If you trim the excess threads from these they are excellent.

            Beautiful work once again Scott!
            Like Steve, I'm hoping that you don't make all the characters before I can do some too! Lol!

                Neat, Scott you are hitting my GA sweet tooth with these. I really need some of that legging fabric you used.

                          Sadly I'm not much up on the Golden Age characters... but even without any context, I think this is such an amazing figure and such a cool idea for a line of customs. The head paints and the costuming are superb.
