    HourMan!!!

    Looks like I'm trying to go thru the entire original JSA line up lately. This one had been giving me fits for a while. I didn't really have a idea where to go with him, I just knew I wanted to ditch most of the yellow in his costume. I tried to copy the look of the hood from the current version in the JSA comic. The red/black striping is still there in the sweater, and still got a bit of yella in the pants. The cape is the wool looking dark grey fabric I used for Bat-Man
    and the sweater is another piece of the shirt I "borrowed from the Mrs.



    Hmmm, how much more time do I have to *** whoop the Ultra Humanite??



    And my favorite teamup from the Silver Age



    The hourglass is a craft foam piece of junk stand in till I find a new one.

            I'm not familiar with the character, but I like the job you did on the boots especially.

                  Another great custom Joe. Your costumes are just excellent! The use of different fabrics really makes a difference.

                    Very cool as always. I've held off on Hourman until I can find a decent hourglass to hang the whole thing on. If you find something let me know!

                        Yeah, seriously he looks sweet. I love how you break away from the traditional suit, but still pull off the character. Makes them very realistic. You have a nice style with your figures. I enjoy checking them out for sure. Glad you share them with us. I find your customs inspiring. Thanks.
