Now this one's a winner!

This is a really nice sculpt of the aging Superman in Alex Ross' Kingdom Come Elseworld's mini-series/graphic novel. The sculptor is the talented and prolific Shawn Nagle; I've done several other of his kits. The pose, while static, is quite powerful. I really like Supes' intimidating squint!

The casting on this kit was relatively clean, a few pinholes here and there but nothing to complain about. It's a two-parter, with the body and cape separate -- and a kind-of-cool method for making the cape stand away from the body. (The cape has a raised area that fits within an indentation in the back of the body, thus pushing the cape out and away.)

I used a very dark Heartland Blue for Supes' tights, along with a dark Spice Red for his boots and cape. The blue, while flat acrylic, has a kind of sheen that works very well for this particular model. Drybrushing was used to get the off-white in his hair and eyebrows, as well as for the realistic flesh tones.

The base is from Night Life Productions, their Flagstone Base, painted up in two shades of gray. Nothing special here, just a nice complement to the Superman figure.

This one goes well with my Kingdom Come bust, as well as with the latest Nagle Batman figure. I like it!
