OK as for the Cape for Batman, It seems that a lot of people are using a Satin. But would a Silk Satin be too fragile? Or would a person be best to go with a straight Polyester Satin? And then for the trunks and gloves I would definitely think a Silk Satin would be too thin and easy to tear. So Im t...

Fabrics?
I am starting to look for fabric to do the cape, and eventually the gloves and trunks. I understand that the cape is a different material compared to the gloves and trunks. The Cape being a type of Satin. My question is, where does everyone buy their fabric? Im assuming I cant just go in to my local...

Re: Stunt Utility Belt
I know Im a little late to the thread but... Do you mind if I ask how you secured the cylinders to the belt? Im assuming with a small strip of leather. But what I mean is, how did you get the small strip of leather to secure to the wood cylinder? Glue, Stapels?

Re: Color of Batmans costume?

But On the other hand I do consider myself somewhat handy and I already dabble in stuff like scratchbuilding sci-fi models. But thats not quite the same. I also want to keep the whole p...

Re: Color of Batmans costume?
Chuck,
Yes you are right. I only glanced over the patterns to see what they looked like.
I just want to be able to match what I got from you. Which is a WORK OF ART. Worth EVERY pennie. And I never would have been able to do anything remotely that awesome...

Re: Chuck Williams Adam West bust
I'm not sure if you've ever answered this one, but where did you get the Adam West bust to begin with? That definitely looks like a young version of Adam.
Just curious..

Re: New T.V. Series for Batman 1966
I have to say, I have watched a bunch of episodes of The Brave and the Bold and other than the costume and logos there is NO similarity to the 1966 TV series. Altho I would love to see a real direct translation...
