This is my third try at this, and surely will be a fourth. My last version was too buff and lacked articulation. I wanted him in DCUC style, but the regular superman buck is over buff too, so I picked Hal Jordan, who has a more slender look. I used DCD reactivated supes lower legs and cape, DCD new krypton supes head and hands. Sanded the hell out of muscle definition, specially on abs, legs and arms. I filled a litlle with sculpt on the belly area and in his arms, to hide muscle and create cloth wrinkles. Sculpted belt and buckle. Chest symbol is a decal. I had to dremel and sand the hell out of him to avoid paint rub, and it was never enough, so I had to sand again when he was primed, and again when he was painted, so he doesn´t look as clean as I would like to, but it´ll do for my superman shelf for now.  Please wait... |

This still came out really nice. Good combo of parts. Looks really nice. Decal on the chest is nice but could be better formed to the body. Love the way you took out the buffness and I like the cloth folds a lot.

Nice paint apps. Supes must use one hell of a hair gel, his curl and hair style doesn't get messed up even if he's flying at supersonic speeds.
