Pink Cowl Batman bust project

Post by Lou Szabo »

Hi Gang,

I picked up an extra Batman bust and will be converting it to a Pink Cowl to go with my Mad Hatter Bust.

A quick review for reference:

I painted it tonight. The color is more like the cowl at the top (Chuck's?), so not a Peptobismal color. I'll post some pictures when it dries. I hit it with some dull coat, so we'll see how that turns out.

Double checking color and finish. Little sanding and posing next to Jervis...

I might need to go darker.

The pink really shows the imperfections of the front face of the cowl.

Got a new pink paint last night. I'll get the old paint off and retry it. This is Testor's PINK, not a hot pink, but more Pepto Bismal.

I like the new color better. So much that I cracked open. 1:12 scale Mattel figure and Contaminated that one too!
