The sculpt itself is great, I'm just not over keen on the paint job - it could be that the picture doesn't do it justice.
Ironically, the overall effect has the "factory painted" legitimacy that to me, is more often than not the deal breaker in terms of my preference toward production vs. custom figures.
But yes, I agree despite the polish, it is lacking in capturing personality essence.

In reply to an earlier point, why not DC in the Madagascar shirt, Jack Purcell shoes etc...
We seem so set on the project with the replica full size shirt im sure it would work!-{

The problem is getting a similar shirt in 1/6th scale.

I've seen that custom before, but I've no idea how he got that material to make that shirt, and would have no way of getting it myself. Unless you know how I can get one?
That guy actually prints onto the fabric using a printer off his computer. It's unbelievable detail. Check out hsi Blade Runner custom - he was able to make accurate patterns for Deckard's shirt and tie. Really nice stuff.
I also like to add my sincerest thanks to Mantis. He put me in touch with the same artist. He made me a replica of the Goldeneye piton gun. Simply awesome So Mantis, thanks and {[]

I found these links posted by a Bond customizer, who unfortunately doesn't take commisions anymore. She did a kilted OHMSS Lazenby, which I think you already saw, Night.
I know it looks like an involved process, especially for a beginner customizer. But at least it's a process, and if you can create a sheet or two of the print you want, you'll have fabric that can be sent off to someone who can tailor the shirt like Project ARE.

Have to disagree with you, there are some MUCH sharper headsculpts of DC than the one above. It looks good, but there are better (see the one I posted awhile back, which I believe to be BY far the most human looking)

cool....always a personal opinion, and while i probably saw your post, time flies when your having so much fun, so my aging jet-lagged braincells are sending "not knownat this address" signals... ?:)
any chance of the link to the post,or even dare I say it,wash my mouth out with soap, surely such a thing would increase my CO2 footprint and offend someone...

Your probably right

That is a great paintjob. Is it the same head as before?
Are you Mark Hazard on OSW?
Yessir.
Or like this?

I've always like his 60's Batman stuff. But I wish he made "recipes"

These figures are pride of place in my collection...
the only likeness of DC that is worthy of the prefix "like"...
frankly, the others I've seen (or own) are just poor immitations (no offense..)
and that includes the Sideshow examples kicking around so far, although maybe final versions will be more worthy....
when it comes to mannequins, the Ledfords are sharper than Tussauds.... B-)
