Re: The Bat-Mannequin is complete

Look great Bat 77. Tights are a huge improvement. Couple questions, who made your gloves and are there hands in them? The gloves are from Evolution Props, and yes there are hands in them. It took a bit of work to fit the gloves onto the hands as the hands of the mannequin are not malleable, and I h...

Re: The Bat-Mannequin is complete

One last face adjustment to align it correctly with the rest of the head, and it's time for some "moody" shots with the blue light. Screen Shot 2023-08-22 at 9.00.35 PM.png Screen Shot 2023-08-22 at 9.00.45 PM.png Screen Shot 2023-08-22 at 9.01.08 PM.png Screen Shot 2023-08-22 at 9.01.17 P...

Re: The Bat-Mannequin is complete

Would you be able to use a hole saw to cut a couple of holes in the top of the bottom half (where the torso attaches to the legs) and pour sand into the legs to weight it? Maybe, but I won't do that until my partner and I have bought a home cause I don't want to lug a heavy, sand-filled bottom half...

Re: The Bat-Mannequin is complete

Congratulations on completing your display!! I think the boots look pretty darn good for a display and I wouldn't hessitate to put a hole through the sole for a base support. Perfect for a Bat-Dummy too! Yes, down the line I want to get some kind of support for the mannequin. It did come with a sta...

Re: The Bat-Mannequin is complete

Today the Bat-Mannequin received a new set of tights in screen-accurate color courtesy of Chuck & Lynn Williams. They look great!! I also got a new pair of boots from EZCosplay that fit the mannequin properly and are the correct length. Screen Shot 2023-08-21 at 7.01.07 PM.png Screen Shot 2023-0...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #207: The Bat-bible, and Buck Henry’s rejection of camp

Hey, Tim & Paul. In response to your call for entries in the "Bat-Bible", I've observed that with a few exceptions, the villains are never referred to by their real names. Selina Kyle, Edward Nygma and Oswald Cobblepot were never characters in the 1966 TV series. The only villains who ...

Re: The Bat-Mannequin is complete

Just one more adjustment. I lowered the face a bit because his neck looked too long. Much better now!

Re: The Bat-Mannequin is complete

Today I did more work on the Bat-Mannequin... Screen Shot 2023-06-24 at 12.43.08 PM.png I cut more of the face and part of the neck off the mannequin so that Adam's face would fit better. Screen Shot 2023-06-24 at 12.43.20 PM.png The surgery was a success. I also painted a darker flesh-color over th...

Re: The Bat-Mannequin is complete

Great job. I'm guessing you used the face kit from Williams Studio 2. Yep. I added some color to Adam's lips, but I don't think it's the right color. Will try again. Also need to cut a bit more off the face of the mannequin as the neck is not resting against the neck of the mannequin, which is maki...

The Bat-Mannequin is complete

Facial reconstruction surgery has been a success. Thanks, Chuck & Lynne. I'm sure there will be more tweeking to be done, but for now the Bat-Mannequin is complete.
