Hi All,

Well here`s the first of 3 possibly more versions of the Red Skull I`m doing.

As it`s the first I thought best start at the beginning back during WWII when Herr Schmidt first became Der Red Skull.

So I present to The RED SKULL.

Well there you have the Red Skull.

HEAD: Sculpted from scratch.
Torso: Crimson guard. Altered a little
Arms: Crimson Guard. Dyed
Waist & jacket Skirt: Crimson Guard.Skirt dyed.
Legs Upper: Corps
Legs lower: Crimson Guard.Dyed.
Cap: XD German Officer,dremelled out & altered & painted.
Holster: XD German.
Swastika Armband: Red cloth with white circle & swastika attached to it.

The whole body was supposed to have been dyed black. Alas I didn`t have much luck with it & lost the waist & upper legs :( So had to rummage up other pieces.

To make the Red skulls uniform that little bit different from other SS people. The Runes on his collars Left side has a RED backing with Silver SS & the Right side has a Red Skull instead of Silver.
Also the Silver piping I`ve added to the collars & epullets,more than would have been usual but being as it`s the red Skull,who`s going to argue?

So There you have my first Red Skull.

Please let me know what you think :D

HAHAHAHA

Thank`s Tom & Intrepid :D

I`m glad he`s been well recieved & liked.

Working on getting the Red Skull a Cloth Leather Long coat too, just to complete him.

Though I`m planning on a few more Notorious Nazi`s (from Movie/comics) to counter all the Superhero figures i have bought & made.

As I plan on having the Marvel INVADERS (Human Torch,Toro,Captain America,Bucky,Union Jack,Namor,Spitfire) take them on :D

So one to watch for in the future guys :D
