I have seen many Nova figures but I wanted one that reminded me of the New Warriors Nova, thin not muscle bound, young. Basically I fitted the hands and feet to the body and the head was a little tricky because I had to sand down the neck without sanding down the hair and then dremel a hole that would big enough for the neck piece but not too big. I used gold paint instead of yellow and mixed my own shade of blue. This time for the design on the customs I did'nt use any stencils, instead I feehanded the hole thing. By the way the helmet was already removable from the original Nova head, all I did was repaint it.
