    Batman 1939


    I found the chainmail fabric at a thrift store and it reminded me of an early Batman Begins teaser or fake poster( I don't remember) with a close up of the chest and it looked like chainmail. So I thought it would be fun to play up the Knight angle a bit along with trying to get the looks from Detective 27 with the big round belt and taller riding boots. The boot feet are Sigma 6, belt buckle is a magnetic purse closure from Joanns, I recycled my old Batman cowl along with the Hasbro Bruce Wayne head from the last Batman.

    made some knuckle dusters from craft foam and dowel


    batarangs from Laser Mego



    full batbelt, I used what I learned doing Hulk's tool belt on this one with the leather and nailheads.
    I'm working on a couple playmates for him, one that's really cool.

          That is my favorite of all the Batmen you've made. The texture dynamics between the materials is fantastic. You have a great design eye for going against conventional thinking and that's why your stuff stands out.

            Very Sharp. You made a cloth Bat cowl look good. That ain't easy.

              That looks unbelievable. The combination of textures takes it off the charts. Those boots! Who would want to take a spin kick to head from one of those bad boys??

                Excellent job Joe. I love the cape and how it lays across the figure too.

                          Thanks again everybody. I'm working on Mr. Freeze, but he's kind of stumped me.
