Recipe for a Radar Egg

Post by Pat The Batman Fan »

Here's a simple prop I made for the documentary- Egghead's "Radar Egg". The wooden egg I used for a base I got at Michaels, I sculpted the ring around it with Magic Sculpt, then drilled a hole in the top for the antenna. I used a piece of metal rod for the antenna and sculpted the little bob on the end with Magic Sculpt, then coated it with Plasti-dip to give it a rubberized coating. I coated the egg with gesso and added some of the eggshell texture with it as well using a small paintbrush. I used purple acrylic paint with a little purple Pearl ex powder mixed in to give it a slight pearlized effect. The top coat is satin Valspar clear coat. Think I might hit with a matte coat though... it's a little shinier than I wanted and compared to the original prop.

Anyway, pretty easy to make if you want one of your own!

Never seen anyone do this before, like Ben said, but I love it... Egghead was my favorite villain
