Cbr files are read in Comic Book Reader applications.
If you have an iPhone or iPad, or a desktop application that can read them, you are all set.

Yes. You will need an app to read the files. I use Comic Express, but my Brother uses Comic Zeal. Maybe best to have a google at what everyone else swears by. When you have it, let me know and i can send you the files.

Nps here you go:

Tonymeis her on the board made the suit/ w logo, trunks, cape.

Repainted HT's Reeve boots.

Kaustic plastik heroic body.

3R WWII belt with all the buckle parts removed, then reversed with a snap fastener sewn on so it closes at the back. I sculpted the belt buckle.

The head is sometimes on ebay or you can get it in the below link and i had to dremel and remove the neck.

Posted this in another thread last night, but i thought i'd also post here.
I am working on a set of "comic book" muscle upgrade parts for a TTM18 body. Pecs/larger ribcage, Biceps, Triceps, Deltoids, Forearms and thigh muscle parts.
I used the Routh head because i don't have a suitable comic book looking head(Working on that right now).
Here are the pics.

Looks a bit like the medicom attempt at SR.

I have a different head coming for him.
I realise i was wrong to add the SR head onto the figure for the shots. Everyone is looking at it and saying: "He's too muscled"(Or words to that effect).
It wasn't supposed to be like SR. It's supposed to be a heavily muscled comic book version in the vein of the Ed McGuinness work. Totally outlandish muscles, but they work on Batman and Superman. As i say, i shouldn't have used the Routh head...
This is the style i was going for:

Looks pretty cool, except I think you need some more in the bicep area. When you're looking at it from the front it looks odd there.

Otherwise pretty cool, I've always liked McGuiness' style.

Thanks. V2.0 will have slightly smaller muscles but better definition.
And will address the bicep issue...

I like where your going with this. Keep up the good work and keep us updated.

Mcguiness' style is just so over the top....I love it!

Thanks a lot. The next couple of weeks is going to be busy for me work wise, but i will likely be able to get it done after that.

Thanks. I just received a new head in the post for this project.
It's the "wrong colour" right now, and i think it might need to be made slightly smaller but, with those changes and a kiss curl, i think it will be perfect for a McGuinness Supes.
Here are some pictures. Just imagine it's not blue...

Rather than make the head smaller, I think it would fit the style better to just beef up the neck and make it shorter.

Good thinking.
I was going to make a couple of versions(And i think the head might also work for Bizarro), so i was going to make a mould anyway just for my own use. I might sculpt on a neck to one of them for added bulk as you suggest.

 

[jedijim3002]

That Thrawn head looks pretty good as a supes or even a bizarro. Nice choice.

Thanks. I saw one in stock at a local part-out store and picked it up asap. I frequently do searches for loose heads that might come in handy down the line.
I once did a resculpt and repaint on a TTM19 head to be superboy, but i think the stubble ruined the look, so it's sitting in a drawer now...

Almost looks like a young Stark.

Yeah. On reflection i should have used that babyfaced prison break TTM head and sculpted the hair on that. He would have made a better superboy perhaps.
