My Batman Begins Pieces

SHH only allows me to show 7 images, but that's not enough so here's my full gallery.

Very nice collection you have there. Love the begins cowl. Where did you get your armor from?

 

[gregday]

Armor? What armor? Still working on the chest armor, etc.

The gauntlets are from mophesto2 on ebay. They are latex. Janty Chattaw made the cowl.

 

[the89bat]

Can't wait to see it finished.

Where'd you get the grapple gun from and how much did it cost, cool collection by the way.

Yeah I'd also like to know where you got that grappling gun from, it looks awesome.

 

[gregday]

The Grapple Gun was made by a guy who guys by the name "jmtwo" on a couple of forums, and by "grapplebats" on eBay.

His email is [email protected]

He sometimes has the guns up on eBay at a Buy It Now price of $120. He'll probably make one if you email him.

Thanks a lot man.

Just got these today. They were sculpted by Mardon (mlcallanta) and cast in fiberglass with metal armature reinforcements. My arms are a bit big, but even so they fit me great and are almost perfectly accurate. Very symmetrical, and even though I've only primed and not painted them yet, are already looking sharp.

How did you make that Joker card evidence..?
I would love one of those!

 

[gregday]

The Joker evidence bag was made by a guy who goes by adamata at http://therpf.com

His site is http://restrainingbolt.com/

The card is printed double sided on a fiber paper that gives it the kind of soft feel of an old playing card. High-res PDFs of the card face, card back, and evidence label are probably still out on the Web somewhere, but it's been awhile and I couldn't find them.

But adamata will hook you up with a kit for just $3.

 

[Cobblepot]

I found the files. Thanks.

nice stuff

Nice batarangs!

I'm late to the game, but here I am!

Those batarangs remain my favorite pieces. I've thrown them several times, and I do believe they are indestructible.

Got started on some shelves today for the closet. Rustoleum Hammered Bronze is your friend!

 

[Dark-Knight]

Keep up the good work.

A couple of test shots of the polished torso and a piece of cloth to simulate a cape. Still don't have a cape yet, but it's coming.

And I've been working on the display closet from the scene in Begins where Bruce goes down to the basement right after Rachel shows up to give him the arrowhead for his birthday.

It's a big job, and there's lots of sawing, hammering, screwing, staining, etc. to go. But I laid out most of my hardware and estimated how it would look and I'm pretty happy with the design so far.

I'm not really into the mannequin thing, and I really don't plan to ever do Batsuit legs anyway, so my stuff will need some kind of place to live. When complete, this will be a 6 foot standing armoire with a locking Chinese medallion on front.

 

[Cobblepot]

Looking good.

 

[gregday]

Slowly getting there...

 

[gregday]

Decided to throw all the gear onto it for a few photos...

 

[theDarkerKnight]

how is this done?

 

[gregday]

how is this done?

Lots of money, lots of time and patience, and lots of hard work.

 

[theDarkerKnight]

so you made your own suit and mask and all that?

 

[gregday]

Nope. Those were sculpted by people far more skilled than me. It has taken me over almost 2 years to track them all down and get them to deal with me.

Every single piece here was made by someone different. The only thing I did were some slight modifications to each piece, and I'm building the 'closet' for them.
