So decided to buy this figure (30$) and do a complete make over.

First I dremelled all the armour parts and hollow them to make them fit a 12" body.
I used a AOU Cap body with lots of padding added.

I couldn't salvaged the biceps armour so I used some snake eyes one. Not accurate but blend kind of well.

I repainted the armour completely and placed it on a body, applied weathering and rain drop effects.

I also removed the sculpted mouth on the helmet. It was badly sculpted and didn't looked realistic.
I replaced it with the HT Arkham mouthpiece. It looks more realistic and give the illusion that he is actually wearing an helmet.

I replaced the sculpted chest belt with a real working on to again give it a more realistic look.

All in all it was worth the huge work i put into it.


Here's how it looked.

Great looking. Can't wait for more pictures. I have passed on the BvS Batman because of size but your picture is sparking an interest in doing the same.

Thanks a lot my friend, i'm happy to be an inspiration to you. That is the best compliment I can get. So thank you.
 
Gorgeous. All, in all how much cheaper would doing this compare to outright buying the hot toys? Barring the pure joy of customising of course :D
 
Just got the 12" multiverse armoured batman, any ideas on how to take it apart?
