    Hey Chris, when doing my PatBat I found if you put the figure in warm water, the glue holding the cape on is likely to dissolve. That way you won’t have to futz with the Stanley knife. Another great job btw!

  • @straker454
    @straker454 2 года назад +26

    Not bad, Chris! I'm personally not a big fan of using shoe polish for washes on figures because you HAVE to clear coat them and that can get messy. Additionally for washes I don't like scrubbing the figure as it can knock down sharp edge sculpting and soften an otherwise sharp sculpt. I recommend the Testors Model Master acrylics myself. I swear by those paints on figure repaints.

      How is the matte varnish for testers?

    • @straker454
      @straker454 8 дней назад

      @@AlcyoneSong Pretty good. If you get the flat paints or flat clear flats, make sure you mix them really well or they might come off as semi-gloss. Also, if you CAN find them, get their acrylics, not their enamels. Enamels don't work well on softer plastics. Tamiya Acrylics are a good alternative though, but you have to get used to how they go on, and use a slowing agent to keep them from drying too fast so you have more time to work with them and get a smooth finish.

    You need some 3D printed parts to complete this figure. I bought the leg holster and the sticky bomb gun as well as the movie accurate wrist gauntlet grappling guns. The grappling gun that came with the figure is oversized. I also used the soft cape from the Bendyfig The Batman figure. After painting the little details the figure looks incredible.

    Hey, great video, planning on doing something similar. Something Id recommend is going over the metalic areas with a gloss coat, namely the bat symbol knives and some of the chains and such. You can even use nail polish for this. The reason is because some parts of the suit are metallic and should reflect the light differently from his mat suit.
