    Removable Cowl Batman Better Cowl Fit

    Hi, I was wondering if there are any tricks for making the cowl line up to the eyes on the removable cowl Batman? The cowl always seems to be too high.

    Any thoughts?

    With mine, I wrapped some white material around Bruce Wayne's forehead, so when the cowl is in place it looks like Batman has white eyes like in the comic books. Not sure if there is a better way to make it actually line up.

      Thanks for the input. I ended up cutting off some of the bottom of the cowl and it fits better but not my first choice. I like your idea.

            That looks great! It looks like you have done a bunch of cool customs there. Is that on a different head than the normal Bruce Wayne?

              Yep....went the unconventional route....Not using the old Bruce Wayne head...I never liked that head (for the cowl I'm using the Doc Mego rubber blue Cowl). I'm starting to post some of my customs again, have some new ones that I will be uploading soon. I'm looking to commission someone to paint my 1/9 scale Mego type heads...would you know of anyone who could paint?

              I did the same thing (white eye lid) to my Lone Ranger's mask.....

                I have not been able to figure out how to post pictures...but I just took scissors and trimmed off about an 1/8" from the bottom of the cowl. I need to clean up the edge but the eyes do line up.

                ...sorry

                  Well don't leave me in suspense... what head is under that cowl?

                          I will try to post a pic of my Bruce Wayne/cowl with white eyes as soon as possible. I am at work and don't have any photos of that particular figure on my phone.
