This one was a lot of fun to do, and just hit me in the past couple of days. I had bought the Ultimate Nick Fury/Captain America 2-Pack that Hasbro put out and I noticed something...the head on the Captain America figure was good. Like, really good. Good enough to pass as a movie head...at least by Hasbro's standards. And I always imagined a movie version of Cap's suit to have a helmet as opposed to a cowl. So it was perfect. So I just filled it with apoxie and dremmeled out a hole to fit on the Ultimate Cap's neck, painted the head a dark blue, and I painted the neck flesh tone and used part of a Sinister cape strap for a collar. I also used a very thin strip of a cape strap for a seam down the middle, or more of a zipper look. Because I imagine Cap's suit to be more of a biker jacket style like Daredevil's. I also cut up the straps that came with the Captain America figure, and added them to the shoulders to make the suit look more complex like it probably would in a movie. Next, I basically just toned down all the colors on Cap's suit. I imagine they wouldn't be so vibrant in a movie. So I darkened the red stripes on his torso, even dry-brushed some grey on the white parts, dry-brushed some black on his chest armor and on all the other blue on his suit, and painted over the grey parts with black. I also dry-brushed black on his gloves and boots. I wanted it to look very gritty. With his shield, I put scratches on it with a hobby knife, and just darkened the colors like I did on his suit, dry-brushed some black to make it look used and gritty and there you go. How I would imagine Captain America looking in a movie...and I know I didn't add the "A" on his forehead. I doubt he would have it in a movie. ![]() |

I painted the stars on his chest and shoulders silver instead of being just white. I figure in a movie they would probably be metal.
And I painted the white stripe and star on his shield silver as well, while making the rest of the shield look more metallic.
anyways, nice work. I'd fix that dark spot on his abs and I personally would get rid of the "Zipper thing" but I get what you're trying to do.
