This kit started out as
a Bruce Lee kit sculpted by Lee Ames for 5th Sense.
I picked up this kit for £12.00 from Forbidden Planet during
their clearance of
garage kits. I already had one but I could never turn down a
bargain, besides,
I thought it would be a great figure to convert someday.
Five years later, I finally got around to putting my plan in to
action.
I fashioned the pads, bandages and helmet from Milliput, the
face guard
was made from two strips of solid copper mains flex.
The skates were made from Milliput and some small shirt buttons.
The figure was painted using standard hand brush techniques
along
with dry brushing and some washes.
just wish someone would sculpt a kit of James Caan as
Jonathan E. someday....
