DST Captain Britain Bust

I was not going to get this piece, but something kept calling me to it! I was not crazy about that base I know that, but overall its very well done, and the paint job is very good! Althought the abs are kinda freaky, it was designed by the fine folks at Art Asylum so its got some stylization, I mean its CB on roids...

It looks nice, but I just can't stand that base... Of course I could always paint it a different color...

I really like the sculpt of the character...but the base is over kill. There's just way too much red, blue and white on this piece, to the point where it looks almost jumbled.

Oddly enough I think the base is pretty cool. It's the mask/helmet I can't stand. It seems true to a certain version-- I think it just illustrates how loud CB's costume is-- I'm used to it in black & white, I guess.

i really dig this bust and love the gaudy base.
the colors dont seem to match in the pic.
id probobly repaint it anyway. but i agree
that the abs are weird. i just have a weak
spot for less popular characters.

He looks to be easily customizable to any big muscular characters like Black Goliath

Pretty good sculpt but the base is too much for me. I'd love to see somebody tweak the base....
