I included a pic of the original Starman. This is one of the first DC heroes I made that I kept. The very original was all BnB body, but recently I swapped the lower half for my Destro blend. Many comments were for me to actually hand paint the star on his chest, which I have been putting off. I am finally coming to the end (I know this has been put forward before, but I have dramatically slowed and now have all the characters in custom format that I want and have tweaked all my existing ones that I had wanted to) with only four projects left on my table with this being one of them, I had to address this issue. Just waiting on the head and paint touch-ups. I am sure new characters will pop up to do from time to time and new parts will allow improvement on existing ones, but as of now I feel my collection is complete with the 4 remaining projects:

Starman (Waiting on Head)
Agent Venom (Waiting on Gear)
Gleek (In Progress)
Swamp Thing

Barbecue was just something I tried. Came across the 3D-Sticker gear in Michaels and wanted to see how it would work.

The star looks great. He just needs another coat of yellow and violet painted on him.

That'll definitely work for Starman,

Intrigued by the BBQ. What'd you use on him, exactly? You entioned decals, but it looks like a full soft goods rig.

Looks like he used a Fire Fighter outfit from Michael's or AC Moores Scrap Booking section. There are a few soft cloth items in the scrapbooking section that fit 4 inch figures.

That is correct. It was just to see what it looked like, I already scrapped him.

Thanks on the Starman, wasn't sure I could pull off the suit design freehand.
