The Raven Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 So i have been eyeing up new batman vs superman merch..I really like the mucho £££ figures. However at £150 each it wasnt going to happen... So i had half a day and figured i would go to the toy store by a cheap batman and custom it. Started with this..........14.99! Took it apart and began to dull the gray Repainted the face and added stubble. Repainted the brass and then weathered them down leaving this . Now all thats left is to find a nice bit of leather and make a new cape...I will attach it where its supposed to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 That looks really good If you fancy doing another and sell it to me, it would go great in my games room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Oh that is total geek. Nice work though. I've just had a UC Mirkwood Elven Helm arrive to add to my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 If all goes well with the cape, Im sure im going to try the amour version. But that would mean mucho work as i would have to have light up eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Im still quite unsure how the capes will come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 OK had a go at the cape today on supes.....what a total pita. The material is spot on nice shiny red but needs really sharp scissors to cut it, it ripped frayed and caused grief. I will try and burrow the Mrs hair dressing ones when shes home trim it a bit or worst case cut a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Im really stuggling with the capes, if i can get them right then maybe yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 what cutting the material? What about a scalpel from model shops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 My mrs is a hairdresser, she has really sharp scissors. I will try them when she gets home, I think that i figured it, you have to fold it back on its self and stick it. That way it holds its shape. batman on the other hand looks better with a hack job on the cape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
