Now that is a fantastic Batman! You really took something that was not very good and made it extordinary. Very highly detailed and a great way to go out. Now you will have to be our Batman.

Thanks M_P for the feedback buddy muchly appreciated.

Sweet crackers! That is one MEAN looking Dark Knight!
 I can easily see this design being in an Elseworlds book. Very cool and very creative, and the painting as always is top notch.
 Now you need a cool new Joker design to go with him.

Hi Ya DD really glad you like him and Joker will be on the cards after Basic cheers mate.

Hemble, let me start off by saying I'm a huge Batman fan, and in fact, that I AM Batman.
                            I don't like the costume you made for your Batman, but if it was a stand alone random figure, it's neat for what it is.

Hi Kevin, Mate thanks for the honest feedback buddy I always like people being honest when commenting on customs and you know me I like it when people are straight forward.
Also Buddy don't worry about your comment pertaining to Bats it had nothing to do with me joining back up it's just something that I have wanted to do since I got out last time.

That's just oustanding Hemble.  I'll never understand how you are able to paint so well and the parts look so real....  It's just mind boggling!

A big thanks mate being a big fan of your work for ages your comments mean alot.

hey hemble, I am geeked at that batman, nice work indeed. I have sorta been on a batman rebirth since I picked up my son one of the lego sets, they did a really good job on the dark knight. I saw your Star Gate custom as well, nice work. They were filming star gate beside my work on Fri, I live in North Vancouver and see many production crews and occasionally an actor or a scene being filmed. Its funny when you see them on the big screen and how they are always trying to make Vancouver appear to be New York or L.A. Priceless.

Hi Mate thanks heaps for the nice comments always appreciated mate and you lucky SOB I would have loved to see them doing a shoot of Stargate that would be so cool.

Nice job Ron, It looks real good, almost like it was out of the batman movie, the gauntlets remind me of that because he used those at that ninja school or whatever it was.

Mate I didn't even think about the gauntlets when I was making him nice pick up indeed and thanks for the comments.

Wow, Ron.  There are so many great things to say about Batman.  You did a great job building him, especially since it doesn't appear you used any Batman parts at all   One of the little things that you did that really looks great is how you were able get the proper folds into the shoulder parts of the cape that makes it flow so naturally.  For some reason, that really stood out to me. 

Hi Brent cheers buddy really appreciate the comments and really gald you like him the folds took me ages to do If I can recall it took 2 hours just for cape you really have to hate cloth sometimes but the end result is worth it.

Hi All

As of now I won't be posting any figures for about 6 months as I'm going back into the Army after 20yrs and only have a few weeks before I go in so I won't have a chance to do anymore figures till I finish my basic training and my IET training.
It has been great seeing all your great custom designs and making new friends and it's also been a wonderful experience so until I return and I shall !take care and keep up with teh great customs.

Your customizing Friend
Ron

Hi All

Again something different

When I started making Batman I wanted a real gritty and menacing feel to him, I even wanted his costume to look gritty. So after about 4 weeks looking thru comics and the internet and also doing some simple drawings I got the look I wanted. I also wanted to give him some kind of armour but didn't want to go with the conventional style - (ie armour built into the costume) so  I decided to go with armour that could be seen and which would also look the part for a gritty Batman.

After he was completed I used Reaper and Vallejo paints as they have a greater range of colours then most other companies once he was painted and drybrushed I gave him a coat of sealant(Testor's Dullcoate) to stop any scratchs.

RECIPE
 
Body - Marvel's Legends Black Panther
Head and Belt- Marvel's Legends Bullseye heavly modified and green stuff added for the cowl.
Boots and Glove - Marvel's Fantastic 4 Mr Fantastic with the armour and bindings added using leather strips
Batman Chest Emblem and lower neck cowl - Are pieces of leather cutout and glued in place
Cape - Is just some old fabric I had lying around I just cut out the desired design and glued it underneath the lower neck cowl.

Wow Fritz this sure is impressive the design work looks great, the paint apps are simply stunning the weathering is perfect. The weapons arsenal is excellent and very well placed on the craft. Keep up teh great work mate.

Hi All

I'm a member on a forum called the fwooshnet.

any way there is a guy called Glorbes and he makes some of the most excellent customs that I've seen. He started doing Marvel Style SW figures and has added he's own unique style to them and I was in awe when I saw them and just had to show them to you all.

Stormtrooper





Darth Vader





Boba Fett





Yoda

Drath Slothus looks great M_P the reapint on the fur really brings it to life well done.

Ron

The female mando turned out great you've done an excellent job on her well done.

Ron

Gday mate

The Cantina files bartender really looks good he's been put together great.

Commando and Kal Skirata - the commando is kick arse the paint apps are simply awesome and the copper looking chest plate brings it all togther. Kal looks good so far can't wait to see the new legs but that head looks great the detail on him is excellent.
