Displaying a Batsuit (Cape added + shoulders)

[batfan10]

Just bought a torso, cowl and have pieces to make the boots. All I need is a mannequin and cape. So I am trying to figure how to hang the torso to the mannequin without gluing or damaging.. so I thought about this

When I'm done I hope to display like this

(The image of the emblem, belt, cowl, and torso are peices I bought and or own

Re: Displaying a Batsuit?

The big trick would be to get the cowl stable, where you planing to wear the suit when your done? I put a crap ton of velco on all my stuff and that worked well.

Nah, I plan to keep it as a display..I don't make a very good Batman :lol

I'm also thinking of the Cowl wont stay installing a black PVC pipe with a tennis ball end for a cheap fix

For cowls I used a bent coat hanger for the longest time. Worked perfectly. Couldn't see it inside either which I liked.

Re: Displaying a Batsuit?

hmmm thats a good idea. Do I bend it all the way around like a skinny "U"

Re: Displaying a Batsuit?

Yep, a big skinny 'U' is exactly what I did. Then just bend the hook up and out of the way.
