Doc Savage fan, Steve Sherman, has taken Doc into 3D with a couple of Doc Savage models he's constructed.




Below is a 12" model Doc. You can make your own! Just read....



The Body





The body is from a "Soldiers of the World" figure currently available at
K-mart and/or Target. The boots are cavalry boots from a "Soldiers of the
World" Civil War uniform, also available at K-Mart/Target.



Any of the figures will work, but if you can find a Civil War figure wearing cavalry boots you can acquire the boots for "free".



The Head





The head is a G.I. Joe Hall of Fame "Grunt" head. I cut the neck piece off the SOTW figure's head and glued it to the new head. The hair is molded from DAS Pronto modelling compound.



The Tan





I painted the figure with a base coat of dark tan, then several
thin layers of raw sienna to get the tanned look. The hair is painted in
metallic yellow. Use artist's acryllics as they are flexible and will
dry completely on the vinyl parts.



The Accessories


The shirt is a vintage G.I. Joe sailor shirt bleached white. The pants are
from a vintage G.I. Joe Russion soldier and were dyed brown. The belt is
from a 12" Starting Lineup baseball player. I painted the boots brown, but
this is optional. The finishing touch was the ray gun from a 1970's Knight
of Darkness figure.




Below is a Doc Savage action figure Steve created by using the parts from three action figures. More info as soon as I can find it.
