| This is
titled "Man of Steel" sculpted by Mark Vantyne and
produced by Jayco... I consider it to be one of the better looking Superman sculpts out there... Unfortunately it is also
out of production, as I received the last pull from the molds
according to John Diaz the owner of Jayco, which is a shame, because
this is a really excellent kit.
Mark sculpted
the musculature to appear realistically for a body builder and he
pulled it off beautifully. The costume details are excellent...
the folds in the cape just flow and hang naturally which really lends
to the powerful look of the pose. It also came with two
additional heads designed to represent different era's of the
character as seen in the comics. This way the builder can choose
to have the look he or she prefers! A very cool idea in my
opinion.
Painting of the kit was
once again done completely by hand (no airbrush) and using Delta
Ceramcoat craft paints... Pastels were used to shade and assist
in defining the muscle tone. Overall I was quite pleased on how
this turned out... If you ever get the opportunity
to pick one of these up somewhere, don't hesitate to do so.
