Amazing job shiro! I did the same in making 2 different pants as I felt they looked so different in each scene. I coulda swore before going back and re watching when the blu ray came out that he wore 2 different pants.

I also enjoy having a different look too! Your stock exchange bane is super impressive, for whatever reason his head and neck area has the illusion they are bigger/wider which I think looks better haha.

I like the grey/blue look both you guys got. Looks good with the stock jacket. I have a pair of dark grey pants I bought from a bordie but I also have a pair of FCS pants that I haven't started yet so I think I'm going to shoot for that. I might PM you with 5027 questions. So is it a fact in the film that he didn't have another pair of pants? He changed shirts a couple of times over the course of a few months so you'd think he'd change pants a few times too.

Any one have tips on removing screw covers on hot toys true types without destroying the cover or damaging the body?

I got a pair from her and they're solid. They're a good bit darker than the stock pants, but I like them. I'm going to use the pair I got with the trailmaster.

Trialmaster arrived, great success!

Looking good crow!

I need a trialmaster, I can't spend another 70 on bane tho haha. I need to find a parted out set.

Drybrushed some burnt umber paint onto the jacket and painted the zipper gold to get it a little closer to being accurate.

I stuffed neck area with cotton and masking tape.
And I shaved off lower jaw area, pulled his chin, made glare face.

Have any of you guys ever used a leather dye called Eco-Flo? I was at hobby lobby getting some leather for the belt I'm going to make and saw this stuff on sale for pretty cheap so I got a dark brown. I've never dyed leather before but does anyone know if this will work? Is there anything I need to do before I change the color? Or would just painting it be a better solution.

I don't think it will. You are trying to go from black to brown. I wouldn't use it on your jacket, may ruin it. I can't see how that could lighten the coat color with a leather dye like that. Dry brushing light brown on the coat and moving into a darker shade you like is probably your best bet. Don't overcoat it will make the jacket stiff and probably get cracked and peel. Try water based paint. Good luck on the mod my man, hope it does well for you !

Did you do this on both figures or just stock exchange?

I just got mine today from SNOOK. I think they're perfect! I have the thigh inserts on a Billy Sole rubber body and pants have just the right amount of "baggy" look.

Didn't know she was still offering them. Figured they were an extra pair she had. Might have to order another for the Trialmaster jacket look....

Is Snooks a member here? Is there a thread for those pants?

Edit: nvm, found it

Hey Ecko was it you who suggested putting a certain type of tape around the legs so the dye/paint from custom pants wouldn't bleed and stain the body?
