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...

Can satin be made from Polyester? Or does it need to be made from Satin? Basically is satin a fabric or a finish type?

So now that I have the search function question answered, What is the best place to order the fabric for the Cape and trunks and gloves? I called my local Jo-Ann fabrics and talked to a nice lady who basically told me that they dont carry any of the Medium or Heavy weight satins . That they mainly c...

I guess you are right. But it wasnt working for me for the last couple of days. It must have been a glitch...

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...

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?

I am starting to realize that Chuck. On the one hand I want a perfect costume to match what you did with the cowl. 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...

OK, since I dont want to start another thread for a slightly related question... What would be a decent sewing machine that I can use do do most of my Bat Suit. I dont know of anyone or have any relatives that have an old sewing machine laying around. So I would need to purchase one. Im thinking tha...

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...

I did a search thru the forum and I didnt see anything talking about the actual color of Batmans costume. Im specifically talking about the Blue for the cape and gloves and underwear. I think I read that its a Polyester Satin. But is there a known name for the color? Or would you just have to guess ...

Can you explain how you Sublimated that artwork onto the Aluminum plate?

So it was sculpted by hand? No casting was done? If thats true thats a pretty good likeness...

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..

I recently took this screenshot of a lit up Batphone...

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...
