This all looks fantastic so far  . Been thinking of getting some of the Batman Minis myself, If only as an excuse to build some Arkham Asylum Terrain.
Or even better, a snow covered Gotham city board, based on Batman Returns (my favorite Batman movie).
But I should probably finish my current projects first  .

He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Yup, that's the plan. Going to try cake rods for poles.

Cya for the next 200

Merci! I shall try.
I have begun mocking up the scaffolding frame:
I plan on having low levels at the side and a high level above. Should I attach it or attempt to make it removable?
I'm also thinking of making a free-standing version, just to add a bit of random height.
Also working on plant life:
So the Titan Creeper has an extra head and I've begun work on the other spore slave, using plastic chaos arms as a skeleton.
Today I'll get some more goodies - quite literally, picking up the Gotham Swat team with Jim Gordon from the flgs and a promo Alfred from a mate, giving me a viable Batman crew. Getting Swamp Thing from another mate which is a brutal addition to Ivy (but can be used in a Batman crew also). Waiting not terribly patiently on a K-wing for Wars, too
