    The Sentinel of Liberty, Captain America!!!



    I wanted to take another shot at an actual mask, and was looking at redoing Cap, so he was the guinea pig. Having a little issue eliminating the slight point at the top of it. Costuming by me with a (don't tell!) craft foam chest piece, gear from war-toys, body and shield by Hasbro. Shield has a magnetic holder on the forearm and back.

      thanks, the shield is the only hold over from the previous Cap.

        Great figure! I love the shield, the chest star!!! and the buckle and the rest of the belt too. Hope you can figure out how to rid yourself of the pointy part of the mask if it really bugs you but it looks pretty darn good to me. B&W shots kick butt as always.

            Freaking sweet, dude. I always love that shield. Nice use of silver star and the flag belt buckle.

                yep, the really strong chromed ones from the craft store, I hid one under his back armor for sticking the shield back there.

                            Love the mask, suit and accessories. If anyone ever says cloth masks don't work I'm pointing them towards you
