Re: TonyMeis Custom- (1/4 Dark Knight custom, last Deadpool custom, Art Kai Batman)
Here is the Face in Cowl mod. I have notice the face stick out a bit more, doesn't look as natural as the EB..... so I decide to play around with it...... end up to be one of the easiest mod ever, hope this is helpful
Here is a before shot
face does stick out a bit more, and does look as real
Step 1
- look at the inner cowl, your goal is the take the inner metal bracket out
Step 2
- you can take out the metal bracket by using some hook tool, its very simple as my wasn't glued in
- as you can see, the wall on the faceplate holder is very thin, your goal is to cut it off
Step 3
- cut slowly along the back wall of the faceplate.....
Step 4
- pop it out
- if any other part needs to be sand down or clean up, this is your chance to do so
- try to keep the back wall of the faceplate in good condition, you need it later on
here is the after shot, not a huge different, but I do enjoy it
Sealed it back together
Step 1.
After you are satisfied with the fitment of the faceplate.... turn the head around, lets work on the inner part
Step 2
- put the back wall back onto the faceplate, but be sure to keep the faceplate remain in the same position you fitted earlier
Step 3
- place the metal bracket back
Step 4
- turn it around and check if everything is in place as the way you like it
- LAST, when you are completely satisfy with the location, simply super glue the back wall back to where it was
- once its dry, you can have some fun changing all the faceplates for different expression, hope this change and improve your Dark Knight a bit
Here is a few shot of mine.....
- eye painted
- neck collar mod
- shoulder armor repositioned
- leg extension
- cape insert mod (not necessary, I would like to make it better eventually)
- custom drape cape
- glove straps mod
