Looking forward to seeing more, this is the kind of dream display I would love to have (if I had the room for it). Love how they handled storing all of his equipment in these films!
back from London, brought a few goodies with me !
those are a noble grapple gun and a noble batarang I got at Hamley's
The grapple is really nice looking, way better than the resin kit I am currently modding, so the resin prop will be for the cage and this one, when not displayed in his little box, used for costuming. Also have a kapow holster on its way. It does have flaws however, but most of you already know that I guess, still, it's great looking. Plus it gave me a story to tell, the customs personnel in London for the eurostar train are probably convinced I'm either a nutcase or Batman
No comment on the batarang, it's just gorgeous.
The bat suit should be there next week, I'll have to hurry up the cage construction, but so far it's going along the plan.

Looking forward to seeing the jumps forward on your project, I have seen those in a shop over here called Forbidden Planet but didnt get a close enough look at the Batarang, it made of metal?
Where you getting your suit from? If you dont mind me asking.

Yes, the batarang is made of metal, as well as the grapple.
Suit is from GCFX (Gotham City FX), but you can also find equally nice or even better suits at Hellskitchen from Kris. Didn't want the UD leather suit, it's nice too but leather is not movie accurate.

Put your iron man suit in it.. MWHAHAHAHAHAH opcorn

Well, now I have something to fill the cage, take a look :
It is a GCFX, I know, but I ordered it before the iron man statue scandal, before they were banned. All the infos I could find then were relatively happy customers, both here and in the BOTB. Just saying in case somebody feels the need to accuse me of supporting recaster on purpose. I don't. But now I have it, and I'm keeping it.
I like how it looks inside my elevator, kinda like a volt, but I can't keep the elevator for myself unfortunately
Will have suited up pictures next week, in the mean time, I keep working on the cage. Stay put !
edit : few more pics

Well, I've been tweaking the suit during the whole weekend, so there are your extra pics :
Basically I have :
- fixed the odd gaps next to the belt buckle (last pic in #56 if you don't see want I mean) and repainted the belt and accessories (weird spots are glue, where pockets and tube used to be. Wasn't able to remove them, so I'll just re-glue the pockets at the same place)
-switched the clip fasteners at the back of the belt for velcro
-removed the laces on the cape and replaced them with snap buttons for easy mounting and more accurate look.
-removed olympia logo on the gloves
-added velcro between the neck and the torso, to make sure it fits nicely
-added velcro in the elbow flap, to make sure it stays on the elbow
-painted the holster for the grapnel (thanks Kapow for the holster !)
-casted the tiny silver bits that normally go on the belt (currently curing)
What I still want to do :
-Cutting the "V" at the back of the cape (currently it's round)
-adding knuckles on the gloves
-making a mesh hood
-making a batarang holder for the belt
-replacing the painted carbon parts by actual carbon parts
-surely more think I haven't think about yet
