About to tackle first custom: Superboy

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hey everybody. I just started reading comics, and after a couple months of it I am really getting into DC. So I started randomly buying some figures (amazon suggested a batman toy and it spiraled from there), but they never have some of my favorites, so I have decided to attempt to try and make some, just for fun.
I want to make a Connor Kent, but I don't want it to look like Young Justice. I want him to look more like he does in the Teen Titans comic written by Geoff Johns.
I've got aves apoxie sculpt and some palmers paint and some Kraft sealant (I don't have an awesome hobby shop in my town).
I'm thinking about getting a marvel legends Drax figure, putting a superboy prime head on it, and then just painting on the shirt. However, I don't know if that's all I can do, or should do. I've been reading over the forums, but I'm really not sure how to dive into this and make it look awesome. Any tips, tricks, and especially ideas are welcome.
