Dear Mr. Byrne -
Sir! We need your help! Randy Bowen just posted this question on my site, www.statuemarvels.com, about an upcoming Captain America mini bust....

...and what type of chain mail should it have?
- every scale?

Here's my response!....
Do yourself a favor, call your pal, John Byrne, about this one! He will give you the correct answer. And tell him I sent you! The ridiculous plate/feather look to Cap these days is my #1 biggest hatred in comics! I've read Cap since the Tales of Suspense days. The chainmail is suppossed to be a thin layer UNDER his shirt. These modern artists are making Cap look like a moron!
---Lines in the mask!
---A "molded" mask, that makes him look like a bird or something!
---The individual plates/feathers look!
---The "unplated" area around his neck & at the top of his shirt!
---The cumbersome "utility belt"!!!!
Please, Randy...do not be swayed by the madness. A lot of these guys have made Cap look ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. Don't continue the "horror."
Thanks!
Al
