Batwoman .. The bat needs to have some back up!

Codpiece.. that's not commonly used anymore. way to bring back the classics.

Congratulations on the new arrival.

Batman looks the part with those colours, and good job upping your game on the blending.

Killer Croc jumps out at me from that list (as he would at anyone...).

Congrats on hitting the Front Page!

Front page extravaganza.. Kudos!

My vote goes to finishing up the Penguin stuff, always good to get a complete set.

so true! Ok, well, I still need thug set #2 but I am keen to get that gang done
Funnily enough I decided that the white didn't work on the Wayne boxes (not yet redone), but that meant redoing the skip too:

Well is entirely down to you lot!
Thanks so much gang! Can't believe it tbh. Totally strung out, literally no sleep last night. Ack.

Gitsplitta had some suggestions about the greys on Bats -


Much happier.

As ever, thanks for the huge wellspring of support. More to follow, please keep viewing and voting! You've pushed me to me heights, and I couldn't do it without you,

Congrats on the newest addition. Batman turned out well.

Bats looks proper good now! Fantastic stuff!

Thanks chaps.
So.... Redone crates and skip

Of course, now I know this works, I'm going to have to at least try it on my Queen stuff and the swat Van with coloured pigma pens.

Redone Batman - again


And, for giggles, caption this:

Arkham Batman: Alfred. That imposter we had reports about? I think we can be safely assured there's no threat there.

Alfred: Really Sir? What makes you so sure?

Arkham Batman: Call it a hunch.....

60s Batman: I'm so pretty, so pretty, so pretty. Look at me dance around with my pretty cape. La la la.

By night I'm the protector of Gotham
By day I'm a flashing Batman impersonator

On the left Merkan' Macho Batman, ripped and ready. "FEAR ME!!"

On the right The Brit Bat, Only Fools and Horses would be afraid of!

You go Delboy!

I am Vengeance!
I am the Night!
I am Fabulous!

Very nice too. Especially the cape.

EDC

Every time I see the 60's Batman, I just get the image of them walking up the side of a building, trying to convince us that they haven't just laid the camera on its side .

Oh, and if your still taking votes, I say go for killer Croc next.

Have they made a 'Scarecrow' fig yet?

Three, in fact. One of the Batman Begins movie design, one more comicy Arkham City one and one Arkham Knight one (the best if you ask me).

"Holy smoke Batman, It's the Phantom Raspberry Blower from Old London Town"

Just asking, but what the heck are "Skips" for? I don't think we have those in the states. Are they anything like dumpsters?

Yep. Skips are dumpsters

Hence his brickwork base KC and Batwoman are top of the list :thumbs up:

And only the AK one is any good sadly. I'd like a BTAS scarecrow, personally. I'm tempted by the AK scarecrow box simply to do the militia as Deathstroke henchmen with masks.

Goon show reference. Classy.

Well, sort of. They are used for industrial or building waste rather than general garbage.

Having a bit of a tidy, reorganising my batbag, ended up making a bat to-do list as I need to look at scenery storage. In no particular order -
Ace Chem - rest of the factory still needs attention. Lights painted, signs added, some graffiti.
Swat Van - redo police writing. Add a riot grill.
Police barricades - stabilise with other feet.
Paint - Batwoman, Killer Croc, rest of Penguin Crew, Solomon Grundy, Damian, Arkham Knight Batman
Build - Court set 1, Butcher, Super secret conversion project...

So first is the swat van


Decided it also needed to be grubbier. Now, any one know a good source for fine mesh?

Aluminium Mesh used for car body work, or if you want really fine, steal the beloveds tights.

I always thought skips where either 1) a waste receptacle for my neighbours to fill up when I'm not looking, or 2) a strangely tasty snack that fizzes on the tongue.

Halfords sell small sheets of aluminium mesh - http://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-body-repair/fillers-preparation/davids-isopon-aluminium-mesh

Outstanding suggestion chaps. Especially given that my brother in law is a manager there

I love it when a plan comes together!

Speaking of which...



It BEGINS!

;oohhh nice - must look into those. Always liked Scarecrow

So the secret project is, clearly, that I'm building a suited TV arrow Deathstroke, using Benjamin Orchard and Slade's (masked) head. The question is his other hand - pistol, cane or staff? I was going to do a pistol but that's readily assumed to be on his body. The staff is obviously appropriate to Origins but would jar with the aesthetic. Would a cane work? Or indeed just leave it? Regardless I'll be making whatever it is from scratch.
I'm leaning towards cane. It would be either paperclip or brass rod. He'll still have Orchard's normal sword too. Then, if I do do a cane should it be to the ground, held like Ra's, or behind him echoing the origins pose?

For reference:
Ra's

Orchard


Deathstroke (origins)

Thoughts?

Oh, now that's clever! Personally, I'd use the the unmasked head, that still gives you a 'complete' Origins DS and I can't recall Slade ever wearing both mask and suit in the show at the same time, but it'll look awesome either way and I can't wait to see it! I say go for a pose similar to Ra's.

Yeah unhelemted head would work perfectly

Ok, like this?
