I *really* enjoyed the recent Captain America movie. I thought the make up for Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull was just excellent and wanted to try to create a custom Johnny figure to go with my Captain America I did a while back.
Ironically when I started looking through the headsculpts, the one I found which looked like it had the best shape and expression was Noah's Captain America head -- so I started altering a casting of that head. I will include pics from my progress.

I started by cutting cutting away what was not needed and what would make the shape right for the nose (or lack of one). Attachments:

Ready for his close-up. (I wouldn't get too close. Even I think he looks mean). Attachments:

Here is a shot of the progression from the Cap head through the cutting & putty, to the new casting with the final paint. Lee Attachments:

Excellent job, Lee. I never knew Noah did a Captain America head. Must have been before I joined the Ranch.

Thanks Terry -- actually Noah & Terri had both a Cap head and a Red Skull. Regretably, I only purchased the Cap sculpt, intending to do the figure, but did not purchase Red Skull at the time. Their sculpt looked like the early comics Red Skull.
