I'm taking a break from Joe customs for awhile so I turned my creative juices to super heroes.

Being a child of the 70's the batman I remember most from the comics was Dick Giordano's version. I tried to capture that look and think I came pretty darn close. What do you guys think?

And here is a pic of Batman and Nightwing (non Giordano version)

Honestly, one of the best Batman customs I've seen. And Nightwing is right up there too.

Very awesome styling of him. I remember the look back then. ;)
Only thing I see is a little bit of paintrubs, but beyond that looks great. :-P

I've always had a soft spot for this version of Batman, although the Neal Adams style and stories. I like the cape you used here a lot. You might want to go back with some grey paint to do some touch up work. Overall you hit this one out of the park.

Wow thanks guys. Glad you all like him.
Pluv, I did just that right before I sat him on the shelf right beside the SHS Superman that I did last year. ;-)

Awesome. I've always thought that the blue/gray Batman doesn't get enough love.

both are great TC, I like seeing more Super heroes too, eventhough I still like the 25th customs too. Keep up showing some more superheroes please.

It's been a while since I've seen a SHS custom not in a NJC contest. Outstanding work, my friend. Other than the minor paint touch-ups as before mentioned, this custom is flawless. Did you use a decal-maker for the emblem? I painted the one on mine a long while back, and it sucked major bootae! Gotta share some TC secrets.

Just printed out an emblem I found online, cut it out and used model car window glue to paste it on his chest. Super easy :D

Damn nice Dark Knight, TC
Now add the glove fins and perfection.

These look great TC. I have had a lot of luck dyeing the SHS stuff (Daredevil, Magneto, Cyclops, Thor) black and then painting the more accessable spots.
