So, as my signature shamelessly proclaims, I decided to do a bunch of Buy It Now listings for this month. A nice idea, but it doubled my work load for the week. Which still wasn't too bad, until my dremel decided to go on strike. Yep, it quit working, at least for a couple of days. So, I had to put aside some projects and get creative. And with that, came Solar. I've wanted to make this guy since I put out Rai and Bloodshot, but it just never happened. I've liked the look and story of this character for years. It's rather complex, so just go read the wiki here:
Solar (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Making this was extremely simple too. Great design for everyone to jump on. The Daredevil body limited my rub issues, so I didn't have to sand the joints as much. Since my dremel was protesting it's work load, I was grateful I had sanded them down a while ago. A straight red repaint, then I applied the black for the logo. I filled in the yellow, then went back and forth with a few delicate touchups. The head was just a simple repaint of flesh, red, and yellow, then I applied some glue to help hold it to the body. Kept moving it for a few minutes while it dried so now it's secure and can still turn. Recipe: Body - MU Daredevil Head - MU Cyclops

I love Solar man. My favorite story was in the valiant crossover Death Mate. If you haven't read it I urge you to check it out if you are a fan of this character. It is such a memorable story with awesome art and just epic in scale.
great job man |

Please do. It is an old Wildstorm/Valiant crossover from the time comics were over the top and extreme and the art was exagerated and epic, none of that realism that abounds in many the funnies today. Worth while in every way.
