A gracious thank you to Drew, J-Hulk, Dave, and Redbutcher!

Drew, Captain America is one of my favs too, but he gave me a fit. You are right about the proportions....they are much better than Thor.

J-Hulk, I believe Red Skull's uniform is green so I figured a bit of camo would break up the overall drab appearance.

Dave, you are too kind!

Redbutcher, you honor me with that posting....congradulations on the century mark!

Regards, Dan

Dan,

Cap and the Red Skull look awesome! Captain America has always been a favorite of mine.These guys look more in proportion than some of the Toy-Biz figures I've seen on the Internet.

Regards,

I use a 000 brush to paint the white, then used a whittled down toothpick to paint in the cornea. I use white again with another toothpick to light dot each cornea for a highlight. I am glad you're pulling Thor out of the closet, Caseyn.

Regards, Dan

I'm already looking forward to seeing The Thing...LOL How do you go about painting eyes. I figure I should pick your brain before I get Thor out of the closet, I actually plan on finishing him this time.
