So here is the final version!
The pics are not great but I'll try to shoot some better ones tomorrow in broad daylight! Hope you'll like him!
Here's the recipe:
Body: HT

Tee-Shirt, jacket, fists and HS by me

Nice one loving the colour of that jacket and the zips

How did you create it ?

 

[**16k**]

Thanks!
How did I create it? well, with a lot of time!(four days!) I've been sewing for years so I made some freeze-frames of the series for the details, drew a pattern and sewed! As for the zips/buttons, I made them with the same clay as the HS (fimo), then glued them on the same fabric as the jacket and sew them as regular zips. The plus side with fimo is that it remains flexible, so they look okay.

That's pretty cool. I bought the Ada sculpt anlong with Lana a couple of weeks ago and think Clark is pretty good but the Lana is great. I can't sew at all so I'll search for something close to his jacket. Tell us how long you have been sculpting and show any other hs you've done.

Great job!

oustanding work!!! amazing work on the sculpt, paint, and craftmanship of the jacket and shirt! amazing that the zippers are sculpted! looks fantastic.

you going to do Jonathan Kent now? Lex?

 

[**16k**]

Thank you all for your nice comments!
To answer if I'm going to do Jonathan Kent now, the answer is no. However, Ada Chan seems to sell a nice Lex Luthor HS and a cool Lana Lang, so I may be tempted to acquire them in the near future.
Next in line, I'll post an Lieutenant Columbo I made last year or so. This one, I did completely! Have to take the pics and I will post them soon! Glad you liked CK! In the meantime, here're more pics in daylight, with close-ups!
Cheers -16k

You should try to custom Green Arrow and maybe Flash but if you sculpt Chloe, I would be really happy to order one
Tiens, un français !

Thanks C-phan! Aren't you on other forums? I think I've seen this name somewhere else!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Chloe! If I buy Lana and Lex from A. Chan, I'm bound to do a Chloe! And since we're not so far from each other, if I succeed in doing her, you'll be the first to know, believe me!!!
Say, ain't it strange for two froggies with a common language to communicate in English? On dirait bien que les Français pullulent sur ce site! J'en ai déjà recensé plusieurs!
EDIT: I've just been on your site! Wow, congrats! You've made marvellous stuff!!!!

I can't help but see a young Eric Roberts in that sculpt.

 

[**16k**]

Yeah? well maybe... difficult for me to say as the last time I saw him was on heroes, and the guys grown old (hadn't seen him for a long time before though...)

 

[Ironman1188]

Not the "today" Roberts, a younger one:

 

[dragonsleeper]

Nice sculpting! I see Clark in there and Welling is hard to capture!

And you know how I feel about that gorgeous red jacket..pm'ed you about it a couple of weeks ago. Still waiting for my commission, I should have asked you but I doubt you have the time for me.

 

[**16k**]

You're absolutely right, Ironman! There are indeed similarities! I hadn't noticed them before!
Thanks again Dragonsleeper!
When you get that jacket, I'd be glad if you could post it in this thread. I'm sure it will be gorgeous! You're right, sewing takes a lot of time for me as I'm bad with a sewing machine and have to do almost everything by hand! And time is an issue unfortunately...
I can hardly find the time to work on my own, and sometimes, weeks go by until I have time to work on one of my own. I did the Clark and my custom Supes during vacation time, otherwise, it would have taken a very long time before I could post them!
At the moment, I'm working on a 6 million dollar man custom (HS is finished but still unpainted, sneakers are finished too, but they suck... ). I have to find fabric for his track suit. Next in line will be general Zod. This one's not too difficult to do, so hopefully, I'll post him before Xmas!

 

[dragonsleeper]

Yeah I love Steve Austin..and Zod! I guess there will be lots of kneeling before Zod after you're through.

 

[**16k**]

Hope so!
In the meantime, after replying to you, I've finally found time to start painting my Steve Austin... so far he's okay. Then will come the hardest part: the eyes!

The jacket is really well done and understand the way you went to avoid the big zipper.
But I have a jumpsuit and it has one of the tinniest working zipper I have ever seen, if you want I mail it to you.

 

[**16k**]

Yes please!
Today, I've received a shipment from Triad Toys, with their new wetsuits and sci fi outfits. The boots are pretty impressive too! the zippers here are tiny too! It's really too bad this kind of stuff is hard to come by for the general public...

That's very generous of you!! Won't you be needing them?
