Some old-time members may remember some of my first posts in this forum were dedicated to making the most accurate Superman '78 movie costume to date. Well, things have come a long way since I gave a roll of teal lycra to my mother in law to do her best catering to my ridiculous standards nearly a decade ago
What followed was a steadily evolving and eventually abandoned cKing project that I was lucky enough to inherit. After he had more or less single-handedly set the standard for every Reeve replica suit up to the present day, (Action/Super Costumes offerings were founded on Chris early designs) Chris had moved on to typically the highest standard in display.
Which is where I came in. And while its a conceit to say anything is ultimate, now that I've finished this piece I can safely say its ultimate to me thanks to contributors like our very own Fettster, whose painting skill brought this sculpt to life.
