My Wayne Enterprise Grapple Gun Prototype

[Luuke]

I call it the "Wayne Enterprise Grapple Gun Prototype" because this is the version that was seen in the case BEFORE Batman started using it. I picked up a casting a while back and spent a fair number of hours cleaning it up...alot. I originally painted it the nice goldish color and whent back to review the movie. I noticed in the R&D case, the grapple gun was not gold/brass colored, but copper and it had a whethered look to it. Preumeably from being tested, then Bruce cleaned it up. So I added a black-wash to the copper re-paint. I aslo drilled out the cast screws and added real ones to make the detail pop. So here it is:

I think this could use some grapple hooks

Very cool. I love all the props from the Nolan Batman's.

So, I realize you picked this up a while ago, but just so you know, it's a recast.

Wow. 7 years later people are just now commenting on it? That's gotta be a record.

Can you tell me exactly how you know that? IIRC I got this from the person who made it originally and I modified it for the look I wanted.

Ha! I literally did not see that someone had necroed this thread.

I could go point by point, but the immediate tell is the line on the right grip. It is there for no other reason than I put it there. It's like your kids. Other people may not recognize them, but you sure do.

When you say you got it from the person who originally made it?

-GG

P.S. If I had noticed the necro, I wouldn't have even commented.

That was 7 years ago. I don't remember who I bought it from other than at the time I was told it was an original, not a recast and I sold it a year or so later because I was getting out of DC props.
