Advice on kit bashing Reeves Superman

[Spik3y]

Hey guys, looking for little advice on potentially kit bashing a Reeves Superman together.

If anyone can offer any advice on good bodies, capes, suits etc I would be really grateful.

On a side note I know this maybe a bone of contention but I've seen the crazytoys superman and wondered if this could be a potential good starting point ?

Thanks in advance

I'd use a KO Reeve hs, crazy toys suit (but you'll have to work a lot on the boots) and Ganghood body.

Bodie, suit and cape are the easy parts.
You gotta find suitable head sculpt, man.

Easiest way, buy Hot Toys Reeve Superman....

hey up mate i cant recommend any suit maker but heres what im using i think this could possibly work for you ,
i got a 1960s ideal captain action superman body suit and removed the foil s symbol with lighter fluid ,you can find them pretty cheap and easy on ebay it fits most bodies nice and tight ,mines on a strike suit cap body with the padding ,
it a nice thick 50s looking fabric that when dressed looks like a good match for a burly george reeves superman imo ,maybe a little darker blue but to be fair ive seen pictures that match this shade ,as for boots im going with mos jor el boots painted red ,just hope i can get the head sculpt now lol not on face book so hoping they show up for sale on ebay or here

A while ago I made an attempt at sculpting a Reeves head, but never got around to finishing it. Hopefully one of these days I will.

..... aaaand subscribed. Holy crap people you're killing me.

I grew up in the 70's. I watched "Adventures of..." every Saturday. George Reeves was my first Superman.

I love this thread. I think if I made one I'd have to go with the grey and brown suit.
