[shadow=red,left,300]Okay folks, here it is. Please excuse me for my subpar photography skills (although I think it's my camera more than anything), but I believe everyone will be able to see what has been done to the fig. The base was a LOTDK Assault Gauntlet Batman. I simply painted the figure entirely black, as well as touch up the bat-symbol on his chest as it was orginally red and gold on the figure. I made pouches for his belt using poster board cut into small strips and folded into small pouches. I thought the figure would look great with a cape that draped in front of him, as most figures you see have the cape going completely behind him. The cape is made out of clear vinyl and painted black. I superglued the cape to the shoulders and around the neck of the figure. The base he is on is from a Spiderman Classics Daredevil figure. f2.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/thenextchampion/lst?.dir=/1966+Batmobile+Model&.view=lThis is merely just a repaint with a few touchups, but one of my first attempts at a custom action figure. I take criticism well, so if there is anything you don't like, please feel free and tell me. remember, you have to crawl, before you learn how to walk. [/shadow]

I think you have done a great job Bullock.You should be proud.I see you found some clear vinyl,it's great stuff for making capes. This isn't a criticism but i personally don't like doing models etc in a glossy finish.I just don't like that shiny look,matt colours show up detail better and to me look more real if you know what i mean.As i said it's a personal thing,you should be proud Bullock.

[shadow=royalblue,left,300] Nicely done!
Unfortunate photography, but we get the gist. As far as criticism, no need for that here - only suggestions to boost you along. I agree with the Faithful one that matte finishes show off detail better, but if you were going for a leather or Keatonesque look you captured it quite well. [/shadow]
