"I will be the death of you and death itself shall never hold me in it's grasp, for I seem to never die!" - Hank Henshaw

Hello fellow Realmers!!! Today I have the Cyborg Superman AKA Hank Henshaw for show, yet another journey into customizing this time, I didn't even use any Aves either, all dremel and paint!

Recipe:
- MU Captain Britain.
- Dremel w/ various bits. *No putty used, all parts dremel'd down ;).
- Head is ebay cast, anyone who's ever used it though knows it needs serious work to make it look good, I carved out the entire back of head and created the jawline using dremel.
- Belt Buckle is a teenie-tiny piece of soft plastic from a TMNT sparring dummy cut then glued, painted over.
- Cape is cut from spare screen cleaning cloth, used crafters tape, super glue, and painted over glue to attach cape and it turned out good imo!
- Black Flat, White Flat, Metallic Silver, and Insignia Red. I mixed the skin tone for face myself using Flat Dark Tan, Flat Tan, and Orange.

That's it, fairly straight forward custom with some basic liberties taken yet I love how it turned out but once again, let me know what you think - Presenting this to my son tomorrow!

His color scheme from the comics helped me pull that off, always somehting about the red/black and white or silver combo, those three can be deadly (haha!). Thanks

That is some fantastic detailing on him! I always took the easy way out on mine, but the extra details really make him pop great. Love it!

Thanks and yes I was also surprised how much easier this was then adding in apoxie and sculpting, easy peasy!

Tip: I almost went through the shoulder plastic, so if anyone also attempts this just be careful on the shoulder and near any joints otherwise you'll be fine .

Are you saying the texture parts of him are actually carved out by dremmel bits? That's isanely well done!

Thanks! Yes I carefully used the bit with the flat disk head (primarily the flat disk head but one or two more angled bits as well) to create the lines . When I did the Cyborg Hulk previously, I had more body mass so I sanded down then applied putty but with the Captain Britain base not being as thick I used the dremel bit instead .
