It's been a while since I made a battle damaged figure and there was some new techniques that I wanted to try. First was painting a bruise and the other one was using the hairspray technique to add scratch marks to the metal gauntlets of Bats (which I totally forgot to take pictures of :/)

Fun to do something a little out of the ordinary.

Thanks for looking!

The head change is totally cool. Wish that option was played more often by the retailers.

Thanks guys!

I hear ya Hector. I have no idea why, but I am obsessed with head swaps and wish we would have seen them more especially since everyone uses the round balls in the necks now. Oh well...

Thanks! I actually messed it up on the end and added too much flesh over the top.

I actually copied the technique from the link below. I don't think I used the exact colors that the original author did but just found close one based on what they described.

Truwe. Your customs are so badass. That Red Robin is especially wow. You can really see all the hard work you put into that custom. I love the colors and the sculpting work!
