Animal
Man was made by basically following Leslie
Hancock's recipe, using a Nightwing body. Chip cut his hair and
dremelled the peg-hole in his back off, as well as filled it with Sculpey.
He then turned it over to me, and I makehis mask from Sculpey, also.
I handled and painted the goggles a bit differently from Leslie.
Towards the end of this custom, Chip had to take over and finish the paint
job... I often get about 85% finished, set the figure aside, and then get
busy on a different custom.
Since
I'm becoming more interested in photographing my figures in more life-like
dioramas, Animal Man was photographed as he communed in the jungle with
his animal friends, Simba (from the Lion King), Yoda's pet snake, and a
bird of prey from some GI Joe collection (I think).
