    Silver Age Red Tornado

    Back to the JSA for a moment, the Silver Age Red Tornado. I used a filed down IM head from Dr. Mego. His arm tornado is just a cone of red paper with a tornado design drawn on it. Back when I was a kid and made mu first Reddy figure (my grandmother sewed the bodysuit for me), I did the same: made a smaller cone for his arm and a larger cone to go over his legs for his "powers." I made the Bronze Age version more than three decades ago.

    Another beautiful job! Especially like how the cape turned out.

    Quick question, please? I've always admired your "flying" display method, but I'm curious. How do you keep them so clean? Mine would be so dusty, so fast, they would look like the Abominable Snowman!

    (Not sure what that says about my housekeeping... )

          Static duster with a long handle. Dust is the deadly foe of all action figure collectors, no matter how neat they might be.
