One Final Addition

Much like the Ghost Rider kit, ToyBiz messed up on a key part (In the case of Ghost Rider they molded the motorcycle handlebars unevenly and without a brake lever) in the molding of this model. Captain America wears his shield as he should, but there are no straps holding it to his arm. That, and the fact that the model artist put the shield on Cap's right arm, meant that I needed to do some customization. I moved the shield (and filled in the hole) from his right arm to the left, which is the correct position. I used an x-acto knife sort of like a drill to drill a new hole on his left arm to mount the shield there.

The straps I've molded out of "Green Stuff".


All that remains is to paint them (once the "Green Stuff" has dried) and then glue Cap to the base. Another day or two and this one is done!
