I cut of all the extra's, made a cape from tissue and woodglue, and made his body more shaped.
Also cut off the base, and drilled a hole in his knee because I wanted this guy to fly.
One arm and one leg I did bend a little to get him look a bit more like Superman.
The base is from a botle cap with foam in it, a small iron wire and some fill material.
And here a few pictures from the start of this small project:
Good skills, really well done.
ReplyDeleteGood work.
ReplyDeleteHow did me saying "boy scout" be close to it turning out as superman?? :-D
ReplyDeleteYou do realise you have destroyed the collectors value of a pretty rare bod??? But the result is great :-D :-D

Look! Up in the sky...is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Super-Remco!
ReplyDeleteGreat conversion! I'd never have thought of doing that.
The figure is unrecognizable after your conversion.
ReplyDeleteA great superman, but not as great as mine ;-)
Good job!
Hi Remco,
ReplyDeleteDAK Superman :) good idea and good shot...
Is it a Plane??? Noooo...
ReplyDeleteIs it Rocket??? Noooo.......
Cool this is Super Remco!!!!
Love this scratchbuild, when I first saw this I asked myself..were'd he find a suprman figure..LOL...nice stuff my friend.
ReplyDeleteAs said earlier somewhere else, you did a great job converting this figure. If you didn't tell I never would have guessed that this is made of an old Atlantic figure!
ReplyDeleteWhich super hero is next :-D
Greetings

That is very well done. The Atlantic Afrika Korps figures are not the best DAK set anyway so no loss on the original, IMHO. I like the flying wire and bottle cap part too!
