Black Panther

[Cosmicman]

I got a black body suit and I have had a Black Panther figure sitting on the back burner for a long time. Today is the day to start and possibly finish him.

So...how would some of you work out this blue/black look? Highlighting the body suit with dark blue fabric paint? Thoughts? Anyone?

That is a cool pic of him, but it's more of lighting and I would ignor it. He's Black Panther, not Blue/Black Panther. I know what your saying and am not trying to be an ******. I would focus on the details of his accessories with the gold stuff, maybe some cheap jewelry from Walmart, use a black cape and suit, black gloves, maybe black boot feet, or tight castaway black boots.

Good point!

I think you are right. I am going to coat the body suit with shiney black fabric paint. With fabric paint, the figure will be moveable because of the rubber type chemicals in the paint when it dries.

I have been on the grinder this morning filing down the Batman Pez head. It is starting to look pretty smooth.

I will keep ya posted!!

Yep, black's the way to go here
Very cool pic by the way, looking forward to him, would love to see how you pull off that cape and "jewelry"

Last night was the task. I managed to get that cape to fold perfect at the top and the jewelry type necklace to lace around his collar. I was stressed out about my winter Jeep taking a crap and it was good therapy for me. I am going to tweak the rest of him all day. Not sure if I want him to have a glossy type head and chest and flat black cloth cape look. I am trying out some ideas.

I guess I will have to take the Jag out on the ice and hopefully I won't spin around in cricles.

I love that picture of him.

I realize I may be swimming upstream here, but I was thinking the exact same thing about Black Panther. I LOVE the blue highlights in his suit and was seriously considering using a navy blue bodysuit with black belts, gloves, cape, head (maybe trunks) just trying to nail down that cool look.

Just my two cents worth.
