After getting a pretty good handle on the 'S' symbol after Superboy I finally got around to getting a Superman in scale to the rest of my DC customs.

Head - MU Namor

i wish i could paint that carefully. did you use gladiator for that? I used the same body to make a vision custom. Also, how do you keep paint from flaking at the joints?

You didn't make this, you stole it from Hasbro's upcoming DCU line! Just kidding of course, but that's how good it looks! Seriously, awesome job!

Thanks so much guys the posts always mean a lot!!

Head - MU Namor
Cape - MU Gladiator
Body - MU Captain Britain

'S' symbol was freehand painted.

Used green stuff epoxy for the hair.

Unfortunately I usually do not worry about joints as I leave my figures in a standard position for display, but if I plan on doing one that needs to move I will do three very light white primer layers moving the joints in between each and one final color coat using a micro brush for joint areas with some clear coat mixed in.

Again Thanks All!!
