How to Customize Page Punchers Batman Mcfarlane
Ойын-сауық
#photography #mcfarlane #actionfigures
Now that Mcfarlane has the DC Direct license, we have more figures to buy and customize.
This version has a green military color which many didn't like. I had a request commission to repaint this.
Using Vallejo premium paint, it turned out really nice. A custom pleather cape and grapnel brought all together.
With a hairdryer, adding heat to the joints, it all came apart easily.
You'll need to sand the joints to avoid paint rub.
I airbrushed the black into the details and then went back over it with grey paint, it gives a better transition between colors.
The cape has the triangular scallops and has the wire seams on the outside. Only 4 wires needed. The detail is to embed the wires into the body by drilling a pilot hole and then super gluing it in. The wire is 24g and will hold the cape just fine with just 4 wires.
The grapnel is a combination of two items. The original grapnel that comes with most Mcfarlane batman figures and a gun handle from another figure. Super glued together and there you go.
The belt is painted with Gold Rub and Buff. Allow to dry and then seal.

There should be additional photos at the end without the colorful lights as it makes it difficult to properly see the before and after.
