    Bat My 1st Custom "Bulked Up" Body!

    Hey Guy's...this is My first Body using Custom bulked up Parts! I had a heck of a time trying to string Him together...so that He was posable, and His Arms weren't straight out from His Body. But, with a little help from My Friends(Type3tpys, BlackKnight, & Megospidey...THANKS Guys!)He finally is a working posable Figure! I used John's method of stringing the Limbs independently...and adding a Dowel thru the Chest, to tie the rest of the Body together.

    Hollow Cast Chest & Arms by Blackkyptonite...Jim Lee Nightwing Head by Repoheads.


    Note* This is a Picture of the Body before the Chest Dowel was drilled...I'm waiting for the Putty to dry.

    looks good but you need to bulk up his legs or he will look disproprtioned.

    Thanks Guys! However Bob...I have to disgree with You about the legs. I've seen a lot of BlackKnight's Customs where He doesn't bulk up the Legs...only the Top half...and I've never thought.."gee, that doesn't look right"?

    Plus...I plan to use plastic Boots...and not Boot Feet.

    I like beefed up legs for some customs; regular for others. It all depends upon the character.

    Looking good Dane - I'm not up on my DC characters enough to comment one way or another on whether he is proportionally correct or not. What you done so far is looking sharp however!

    Looks good, but I personally don't think I would've used a "bulked up" torso for Nightwing...as far as strength and muscle go, he's not one of the power hitters of the DC Universe.
    Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!

    I gotta go with Anthony on this one. Altough the body certainly looks good, I wouldn't have used it for Nightwing myself. Batman yes, Nightwing no.

    Thats what I've been waiting for!!!! Finally The Hush head has made its appearance on the Buff Bod. It looks as nice as I thought it would. I threw mine together and posted a pic of him a while back and was waiting for someone who knew what they were doing to do it better/right. Nightwing deserves the buff bod look and it looks great. Cant wait to see the finished product. Lets get cracking I don't want to have to wait till tomorrow to see the finished product.
