I figured the painting scheme was open to interpretation, so I went with a classic silver spacesuit.

Flash's parts fit well, requiring some minor seam work.

Another angle. Although Flash went together fairly easily, the Martian is a challenge, and I still have to finish him up.

Finished the Martian, and now to set up the shoot.

These shots are done with LED spot lighting and a point-and-shoot, 5.25 megapixel digital camera.

Flash and his little Martian friend.

It's good to give some space between the subject and the black background to avoid unwanted shadows.
