Modification/Customization for the DX12 Batman Figure

[elvis1976]

I kind of thought sculpting right onto the plate would stick to the eyeballs and ruin the rolling system?

Well how can you sculpt on the cowl?
I mean you need to sculpt smaller eye opening, it seems logical that you have to sculpt on the eye on not to the cowl

Idk, I was thinking inside-out kind of a thing? That Milliput is pretty sticky and I'm not sure if it'll stick to the eyeballs and freeze them in place.

You can use a bit of water it will stick to the plastic better, although miliput is a ***** when used on plastic. Works better on resin.

I'll try it out. Still didn't get the extra head yet so I'm trying to be prepared. Your Bale Head mod makes me want to get another Bale head to chop up.

 

[elvis1976]

Honestly the bale mod is easier that sculpting eye lids i think.

You won't screw your dx12 head. You can uy on of those knock off wayne on ebay.

I guess I thought the eyelids were part of the cowl. Didn't realize that they were part of the eye plate. When I painted the eyelids I just removed the eyes themselves and thought I was painting something that was part of the cowl.

Go to page one of the thread! Is that really you Maglor or are we in an Invasion of The Body Snatchers type situation?

Should have remembered this:

Edit: Got it out (the PERS plate), not for the faint hearted.. nearly lost a finger..

[edit] just saw the post above.


So many have done the eyelid sculpting mod without taking out the plate that I forgot.

 

[Rorywan]

Yup, and by the way, milliput is actually pretty easy to use for small detail just wait 30mins before you try anything with it. I used it to put tiny scars on my Scissorhands custom, so eyelids are not that hard really. But as I have been saying and Elvis just pointed out, take out the PERS plate first, if you want to do a clean neat job..

Thanks a lot for the tips guys.

As much as I love Robbie face plate, I went and sculpted the BW head. I just thought the skins color is more realistic. Check it out.

Was that a knock off or your original? Are you gonna use the eyes inside the cowl also?

That would fufill the complete use of the BW head. If you do go this route, please be the first person to take step by step photos or even a video of it. We need a tutorial of removing the PERS and adding the BW HS eyes.

Original BW sculpt from HT. in my eyes the BW sculpt has a realistic paint job. I just have to put that face inside the cowl. Look more realistic in hand. iPhone camera sucks.

Haven't put the eyes in there yet, that my plans for tomorrow. So far it just a sculpted eyelid. I wish I made a videos, sorry guys.

Cutting the eyes out of te BW sculpt well be my experiment tonight. Well post up picture once I'm done. Robbie face plate is good, I have one too. But the originals BW sculpt from HT has more realistic paints.
