Superhero peg people

I loved creating Lucy's peg princesses, so the natural thing to do would be to make some for my boys, of course. 
From left to right: Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Superman, Captain America, Spiderman & The Incredible Hulk
I sketch out the main design, trying to minimise the detail, albeit this is easier said than done with the logos, but I think I've cracked it!
Iron Man, Batman, Robin, Captain America, Spiderman & Superman
The real test comes with the painting.
Batman slowly taking shape. Not looking forward to doing the bat logo though.
Each 2 inch peg is individually hand painted, therefore no 2 pegs are ever the same. 
I also use child friendly paint and coat in 3 layers of non toxic varnish.
The Incredible Hulk
A bit rough and ready, but getting there...
Captain America, Spidey and let's not forget the girl power, Wonder Woman.
Just 3 layers of varnish and we're done.
All varnished and ready for their next mission!
Iron Man, Wolverine and Thor down, Mr Incredible and The Green Lantern to go!
A set of 5 peg Superheroes of your choice costs £50 (excluding postage).
Please contact me for further details: sarahyewman@gmail.com

"Holy peg people, Batman! Am I seeing double?"
Adding a few newbies to the mix
Blue and Grey Batman
All boxed-up and ready to play

    Sarah, These are fantastic - I especially love Superman (that hairdo!). We've painted a set of the village people (http://stockadesupply.blogspot.ca/2011/04/free-project-plans-from-stockade.html). Stockade offers different styles and sizes of wooden people too (https://stockade.ca).

    They are fabulous! You did such a great job. My little boy would love these - he is a tiny bit superhero crazy at the moment. I am a new follower of your lovely blog and I stumbled upon it via Craft gawker!
