Anniversaries are a time to reflect and celebrate! It's a sincere pleasure to celebrate the show and this board here with friends I have known for over 20 years. To say this board has had a huge effect on my life is an understatement. I know Ben will take this board into the future as enthusiastical...

So THAT'S what that buckle is supposed to be!
I had no clue !
Great work on the replica and thank you for solving the mystery!

Man, that's a lot of look! A bold design indeed!

Thanks Steve!!! I appreciate the time and effort!
With so many options, I agree, it would take a stroke of luck to find the exact item.
Very possibly created from odds and ends in the old spare parts box.

Thanks so much to everyone that took the time to help me out.
It's appreciated!

WOW! Thanks Guys!!!
Fantastic images!! Yeah, that rifle stock is the missing link.
The fabricated parts are easy to see and copy but the stock is the mystery alright.

Thanks so much for your help in this mystery!!
It's appreciated!!

Hi All,
Someone was asking if the donor parts of the Bat-Magnet gun had been identified.
I couldn't recall if they were or not so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks in advance for any insight!
Chuck...

Holy Homework!

Taking notes on the trimming details and finishes of the pilot cowl. Very different!
On a side note, the way Jill St. John screams the second "Help" , still sends shivers up my spine.

I agree with BiffPow about the chin. It does look like it's protruding out too much. But I disagree with him, I do see Julie in it. It's just a bit more cartoony. JazzInc did talk with Chuck Williams but it didn't work out over 2 issues. I do think Chuck would have sculpted more realistic. I'm curi...

Thanks Guys!
After the new year I think.
I can't believe how lucky I was to come across this!!

A quick nose job!
Yep, it's a pilot cowl!

Hey Andy,
Yes it did. I should trim the center of the nose higher.
I tend to sneak up on new things!

That is the biggest difference between this and the regular cowl.
The nose is very narrow, just above the nose tip. The sides sweep inward, exposing the nostrils.

Here it is with a slightly more accurate trim...
It's a narrow nose that cuts in and exposes the nostrils.
The curves going around the side look right.

Narrator Voice; What's this? A Twist! Holy Prototypes! I think this new shell is a pilot cowl shell!!! I molded the new shell after I had fleshed it out in clay. I'm almost done cleaning the original and it will be back to it's old self in no time. The new cast is a hair smaller than my ultimate cow...

The 3 bumps I mentioned...

I'm not making any changes to the shell but I did put it in the mold of the Ultimate Cowl so I could cast clay behind it and fill in the missing parts. Once it's done, and a new mold created, the shell will get cleaned up and put on display. It's difficult to imagine that the studio prop shop or a p...
