My Custom DAREDEVIL
|
Couple of pictures of my custom Daredevil Mego Figure. This was my 1st custom and I think I did a pretty good job. For the most part, I used Dr. Mego reproduction parts available from Paul Evans. The only real "customizing" I did was to the Batman head.
· Type 2 Body · Repro Red Bodysuit · Repro Red Shorts · Repro Superman Boots (cut about 1/4 inch off the top) · Famous Covers Daredevil belt · Red “Mr. Fantastic” Repro Gloves” · Custom "DD" sticker done The head was the only real customizing I did. Basically, I took a Batman head I had where one of the ears was slightly chewed off. I cut the ears off filled the holes with Milliput. I also made the horns from Milliput. Since the Batman head is slightly rough, the milliput sticks really well. Milliput covering the holes was sanded down. For painting, I used several thin coats of red enamel car paint. I got some putty and carefully formed it around the face since I didn't want to re-paint that area (I ended up doing it anyway). The cool side effect of this was when I removed the putty around the face area, the build-up of several coats of paint created the effect of a "mask" around the face. Look very closely at the head and you'll notice that it looks like a cowl around his face. Very cool effect! |
