Conversion 3.75 inch Golden Age Vision

I've almost completed my Marvel Squadron Supreme and I've converted or gathered figures for my Timely (Marvel) WW2 era heroes and one you will not find in 3.75 inch is the Golden Age Vision.
Need to take a better image at some point. Fella is waaaaaay too green here!
 

3.75 inch figure conversions Kelvin Nolan

Added to my recent Black Tower and Golden Age (British) characters is....a 3.75 inch figure conversions of Kelvin Nolan and his Helmet of Power (still needs a bit of work.  The Greek style helmet had to be hand made using Milliput.



Notice anything in the image below?  Yep, he has a t-shirt on that is so him!

Below and you will squint but to save you doing that I will tell you it is a photo of  glamour model/singer Sam Fox.



Oh my camera did a lovely close up!  You may ask how I painted such a good image which is roughly less than a centimetre in size?

I didn't.

A while back I bought a 3.75 inch custom made Arnim Zola and when I got it realised that the face on the chest tree was Toby Jones who played the character in Captain America and Winter Soldier movies. It was a tad dark but I suddenly thought that this was a way to add detail that I could not paint.

I took an image and brightened it up a little then re-sized to 1 cm and printed it out, stuck it on the figures then PVA glue over it to keep the image permanent (you may like to use varnish of some sort.

This would be a lot easier on a 6 inch (15cms) figure and I offer the idea up to any converters out there because you CAN convert 3.75 inch figures -they are not "too small" and if I can do this anyone can.

Keenan King aka Streamline of Earth Parallel 669 meets agent Grimes of MI5 in Westminster Abbey for a briefing. A briefing that seems to indicate that the man who helped King and gave him his powers, Dr. Rose, has mass produced the formula used on him.

If the man who helped give him the powers of Streamline has turned rogue for money or other reasons he has to be stopped.

An army of Streamlines would be unstoppable and a threat to not just the UK but the world.
