: There's a link below to more pics of him.
:
: Where'd he come from? I tell you.
: -An "Ultimate Soldier" 12" figure
: -A friend cast the head of another figure called "P-40 Pilot 'Ben,'" by Dragon Toys, meaning it looks just like Affleck, but no, it's not really him, where'd ya get that idea, whadda you mean, likeness rights? I like Dragon Toys, heh.
: -Pants and shoes from one of those "Gentlemen" figures from Buffy. You know, those floating, grinning guys
: -shirt from a deep red T-shirt
: -Armor was sculpted in Sculpey, then cast in resin, then covered with bare metal foil for the chrome appearance
: -Shoulder guards (which yes, I KNOW are too big) were made from a super-super-thin sheet of plastic, then covered with bare metal foil
: Wings?
: Ah, the wings. I was fortunate to have, from a purchase many years ago, about a dozen tiny socket jointed pieces. To be honest, I have no idea what they're really used for, but in this case, I attached two to his back and two up where the wings fold.
: Bought most of the stock of white feathers that AC Moore had and cut each one to size, then glued each one to the strip of fabric stretched between the brass tubes that made up the wings. That took the longest.

: Anyway, enjoy, and no, it's not for sale. However, if I ever meet Mr. Smith or Mr. Affleck in person, I'd give it to whomever I meet first. Same goes for the Jay and Silent Bob plushes I made.
