Bruce the Lesser- Artiste

Posted by on March 8th,2009

Mr. Gazongola Writes:

Yes, I have another device to report upon from the aether! On my travels among the inter-computational highways, I have come across an anachronaut of amazing armature. I give you The Hawkman:

From the workshops of Bruce The Lesser, comes this astounding creation. One can just picture such a fellow sailing across the skies, battling with the foes of the air.

The crown of feathers are done in such a way so that they look like shards of glass. The beak, made from thermo form plastic, painted brass, a formidable yet wise looking mask. And of course, the goggles to top it all off.

Take a look at Bruce’s gallery, and marvel at his other creations.
