Custom Marvel Legends Icon Batman by l.designsPosted by Mig on Monday, January 7, 2008 @ 8:38 PM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe l.designs' Custom Marvel Legends Icon Batman is one of the best I have seen. Here are the details and more information about this awesome custom from l.designs himself:"This yet another departure from the regular Marvel characters, a beautiful rendition of Batman with some of my Kelly Jones influence showing. Almost hate to sell this one, as it turned out so well. A lot of time and attention to detail went into making this as accurate as possible to available reference material I could dig up. I did a bit of resculpt on the head, removed the rubber cape and added a sculpted real cloth cape. Most of the work on this guy comes in at the painting stage, as I repainted the whole thing. I used a wide range of painting techniques to get the final look you see here (much better in person). You will see when you get this one that there are various levels of paint. It was undercoated in gray, then shaded and highlighted with airbrush. Finally a wash was added to bring out the detail as well a rough it back up a bit. Most of the detail doesn't come through in these pictures, but the detail on the face is as amazing as the rest of the piece. The original toy had a lot of detail that didn't even show up in their paint job, including zippers along the sides of the boots, the cracked look of worn leather in certain areas of the boots. It even looks like a rougher leather on the pads of the gloves, seams and everything. Originally this was a great looking toy already, I just added a bit of my taste to it, and then poured everything I had into the paint job! Matte clear cote was used throughout the process. Only the highest quality paints and clear cote used: Tamiya, Liquitex, and such. Also super tough plastic epoxy putty for the sculpt."
