1/6 Nolan Bats Collection

[gcard76]

Hey folks -

Starting up a thread for my Nolan Bats collection.
Finally finished enough figures to justify having a thread.

Still lots of work to go, but here's a few figures.


Just finished this Reclusive Bruce Wayne figure.
Mina Yu sculpt paint by Owen.

I added the facial hair. Outfit put together by myself.

Thanks, david83ec!

Planning on putting together a Joker and Bane.

Waiting on Yunsil's Joker clothes set and Ale's shoes.

Still gathering items to make Bane. Hopefully sometime this year.

So glad to see you post this page, really awesome to see all of your customs in one place. Your begins batman is so so good, love seeing pics of it. Recluse batman turned out really well.

Thanks Bravomite! Really appreciate the kind words.

Some of these mods can be time consuming, as you know from your own experiences.
Lots of work to achieve the results you want.


Finally have enough finished figures to justify starting this thread.
Hoping I'll get even more done this year.
Several are in the pipeline, from half done to only in planning stages.


I'm very pleased with how that Batman Begins turned out.
Sometimes you have ideas, but you don't know if it'll work.
Everything worked out great, from the body proportions to
the screen accurate look of the suit.



Now I need to do another one, to display first night out look with Bruce unmasked.
I have the headsculpt painted and ready, just need to make the body.

 

[gcard76]

Beefed up the body a bit to make more screen accurate
and in proportion. (thighs and torso areas)


Added dogbite scar to arm as well.
Only needing legbrace to complete.

Filling up TDKR armory with its weapons.

Used reference photos to match the correct weapons and positioning
for screen accuracy.

Expecting the Bruce Wayne knee brace to be completed sometime next month.

Received Jaxon's new Begins sculpt yesterday.

The likeness is very good. Overall, I like it.

A couple issues I have with it:
It looks a bit small to me, especially when compared to Creg's sculpt.
I feel it needed to be wider.

Also, the eyes are too small. And they have kind of a sleepy look to them.
And the cape clips (which are not removeable) lack detail.


Here's a side-by-side with Creg's (left) and Jaxon's (right).

After some unexpected delays in getting this made,
Bruce's leg brace is finally done and being shipped to me now.

Thanks to fullmetal for working with me to getting this thing made.
Superb job by Jon in the creation of the brace.

Will post pics with the full Bruce figure when it arrives.


Here's a sneak peak from fullmetal's photos:

brilliant custom figure and great display GCard76 - that leg brace is fantastic.

TDKR doesn't get that much love which is a shame. Whilst not as good as the first two, I still find a lot to like with it and enjoy the interesting take on a batman in the twilight years of his crime fighting career. The ending marks a satisfying bookend to the Nolan Batman saga for me as well.

I also find the psychological analysis on Bruce fascinating - seeing him stagnant and unable to move on after effectively "winning" with the Dent Act cleaning up the streets is new territory for batman and an aspect I enjoyed exploring with the film.

Keep up the cool customs.
