Other than the Utility Belt, I've finished most of my Batman Begins props. The latest are Jmtwo's Grapple Gun and Mini-mines.
For the Grapple gun, I made a few modifications to better reflect the photos I took when the props were in Toronto. Those mods were adding various holes in the front below the silver screw, 6 along the top sites as well as enlarging the rearmost site, a large divot in the rear slide pull. I also added the silver ring/hole in the very back of the grip. I bored out the 2 barrels (it's not completely through, but I did add the corresponding hole in the backs (you can see them in the back end shot, where the slide is pulled back slightly. The slide was attached with a expansion spring, sadly it doesn't really snap back, but there is some resistance when pulled.
Finally, I scratchbuilt the 2 grapple darts. The head was patterned from a few fuzzy screencaps.
The only mod to the Mini-mines were the adding of a non powered LED to the Activation button. I cut the LED to about a 1/8th inch, polished the cut (for clarity) then painted that back end silver (for reflectivity). Since they are so shallow, they reflect the light making them appear lit.
And the complete display - I have a few of Synasp's batarangs, as well, the ID card I created for the Grapple Gun, and the Joker Card in Evidence bag that I also created (same ones that Adamata has been producing for others) which are both in the Free paper props thread.
