Captain
Atom was my first use of the fantastic AMAZO/Starman base that Mattel
has provided for us. (Though for future reference, Starman, which
I used here, has one leg shorter than the other. No idea why the
two are different.)
The project
is a relatively simple one. For once, there were no sculptural details
to remove or add to the body. For Cap's head, I chose Waverider.
Once the translucent hair is yanked off, the likeness is almost
perfect. He just needed a new flattop haircut. A smooth paint job
and a laser printed and decoupaged logo finished the job.
Pretty nifty,
for a character I know next to nothing about.
