During
Son of CAPE
(2006), I had the chance to meet the amazing Gail Simone. During
the course of the day, I was painting my 6-inch scale Lady
Blackhawk. Gail seemed to really like the figure, and I regretted
the fact I couldn't finish the figure while on site.
This
year, I got wise and planned ahead. I built and painted an animated
style Lady Blackhawk well in advance. (Animated because, well, I
don't want to repeat myself.) When Bride
of CAPE came along, Lady Blackhawk was ready!
Lady
Blackhawk uses Zatanna as a base, primarily because of the sleeves
and jacket. Magic Sculpt was applied to build up the wide double-breasted
jacket, skirt, belt and boots. Her hat comes from the parts box.
I'm
proud to say this figure is now in the possession of Gail Simone.
