Translucent epoxy on the eyes to make them shiny and create that little convex bubble where the pupil is!
Yeah. I will be doing that in time as soon as i am able. It will really make them pop.

Medicoms looks awful all around.
SS's figure is already made and out. Head size is what it is.
Mod em and move along.
Nope, not for Superman. Measure it and see. You would have to use the Heroic one since he is Superman. Plus you bulk his body up so the head looks a little better.
That medi head is too small. Something in between would be perfect.
Well, today I made a very simple mod to my Supes.
I had started to do like Evilface, only I used air hardening clay instead of putty because I wanted all my mods to be reversible. I was only half happy with the result. The legs, particularly looked good when seen one way and bad the other.
So after having him like that for a few days, I stripped everything off and decided to take a very close look at the body.
All in all, the proportions out of the box are fine. The legs are good, the arms too. No I realized that the only thing I really didn't like and were throwing it off were the sides of his chest. Not enough of a V shape. Take a look at Gapar's pic to see what I mean.
So I decided to modify only that part. The problem was that if I enlarged that area, it would restrict the arm articulation (just like it does on CR Supes).
And today, I found the solution. Simple, easy, and everyone can do it!
Now, I've put a zipper in the back of my suit, but I'm pretty sure you can do it without even opening the suit.
So that solution? Simple! Take some of that grey foam that comes with figures in the trays and with an exacto, cut two small V shaped pieces. Insert then under the arms and voilà! Supes is suddenly more buff. And if you don't like it, just take them out. Simple as that, but makes a world of difference. And since they're squishy, they don't impair movement. I'll post pics tomorrow!
That looks great, Alan! And, yeah, I can picture an Alex Ross sculpt on that and it looking like a nice JUSTICE version of Supes.
Looks good. Rocco's new superman head would look great on that.
Do it, Mike. Excellent figure in hand and can be had for $159.99 shipped on eBay.
