I was never really happy with my Chris Reeve supermen. I was only going to do some minor touch ups on my last version, but I ended up acetoning him and removing all the paint. I sanded and smoothed the sculpted parts (belt, top of boots,covered muscle definition on biceps, ribs and legs) and repainted him again. This time I airbrushed a primer first (I didn t know better at the time...can´t believe I used to paint without primering..smh). Then I airbrushed a base blue color and then did a bit of drybrushing. I forgot about washes, shadowing, etc. I wanted to keep it clean this time. As for the head, yeah it´s a shrunken cast from the hot toys fig, by Glassman. While the likeness was good, something was off. The proportions of the face were not right. So I dremeled the head quite a bit and sat it much lower in the neck. That solved the proportions issue. Then I sculpted the eyebrows and this time I painted it with utmost care, trying to be as realistic as possible. Lastly, my wired cloth cape technique is more refined now, so I gave him a new wired cape that can hold poses. He displays great in scale with the new NECA 1989 Batman, and well, I´m very happy with how he came out overall. Hope you guys like him and thanks for watching.

Hey, my friend, thanks for dropping by. They are practically the same height. Bat may seem taller but only because of the ears. Strictly head to toe, yeah Supes is a bit taller. They scale really well together.
Thanks for the comment.
