Dennis Hogan’s Captain America

Another one from the archives

This is an original Toy Biz model kit of Captain America. Although this plastic model kit had some minor concerns, it actually turned out to be a fun project that looks cool.

First, there were some major gaps in the seems of the figures after gluing them together. This of course took plenty of putty and sanding to create solid and smooth looking figures. Next, it was somewhat of a concern (for me anyway) to paint the intricate details on this small figure kit. The figures themselves are approximately six inches tall. I had to add the “A” on Captain Americas head gear by hand. I also added bullet markings on the shield. I then carved a forty-five caliber pistol out of vinyl and placed it in the Red Skull’s hand.

The base is really nice looking, but the figures generally block a lot of the detail. Overall, I believe this is a fun kit to put together. However, they are somewhat hard to come bye because they are no longer in production.
