Golden Age Starman.
Ted Knight, the original Starman, is naturally a "must" for any JSA collection. He was one of the first I wanted to do because in my mind at least, he was going to be pretty easy.
I took a Star Trek Cheron head and modified it for the fin on top and the round ear coverings. Then I cast it. Dave McCormick painted the head.
The red jumpsuit is a simple China made repro as are the boots and the shorts. I made the yellow belt myself out of a flexible vinyl and threaded it through a Playing Mantis Action Jackson (WW2) Holster. I then painted the holster since it wasn't quite the color that I wanted.
The green cape was something I actually sewed myself. Nothing real fancy, just useable, but I'm proud of it.
The star on his chest is actually a China Made Captain America star which is normally silver in color. Those emblems are die cut so with their "peel and stick" nature....they are easy to use. I painted the star yellow and glued it on for good measure.
Lastly, the Cosmic Rod. (Don't laugh Dave!) No, I'm not kidding....that's what it's called. I used part of a paint brush and added some sculpey to make the rod. Not really the best, but certainly better than nothing.
In the end, Starman was a bit more work than I thought he would be, but well worth it. I'm not absolutely wild about the head and there are better heads out there (like Troy Youngers), but I created the head so that counts for something unique in my book anyway. I may upgrade the head someday, but for now, this will work!
