Thanks for all the encouragement and compliments. Especially, thank you for the inspiration and sharing your work to help mine look passable. Later today I'll post a photo of the back.

Wow! He looks awesome! Welcome to the realm! How does that Sugru work?

I first got sugru to do some fix-it projects -mending an iphone case. I had lackluster results. I tried using it fill head molds for figures so the peg could pop in but the end result was not a very tight hold. Then, I started using Sugru for molding costume pieces, like the boots and visor. It works really good, in my opinion. It has a firm rubber feel and isn't hard like a stone the way apoxie can be. I especially like that it comes in some standard colors so I didn't have to bother with paint or paint rubbing off. It's even a little easier to mold than apoxie. The downside is, once you open the package and air hits it you can't save it. For example, I've got a few projects calling for white clothing parts so I need to do them all at once. I'm going to put in on the rubber cape of a Moon Knight figure I purchased used. It was cheaper because it had red stains on the cape. I used a little Acetone to try and remove it and I butchered the texture. Soon, I'll try white sugru and see if I can make it presentable and smooth. (sorry for the long-winded reply) I certainly suggest giving it a try.
