I was thinking of doing this. But I remember watching Dean's video and he mentioned how the second cape meant for the batcycle is better to work with because of the double layer and wires. I'd be in for one if any customizer can do it right. Also your above post about Tamiya weathering Kit was something I also was thinking about investing in after seeing Cap's photos. I heard it's also easy to remove with water.
WOW, man. Honestly, that looks spectacular.well done.
Also, as a fellow tamiya weathering kit enthusiast, I just found this out and wanted to share- apparently they’re literally just soft pastels. So you get essentially the exact same effect and more colors by just buying a set of pastels. I just tried it the other day on a gunpla and I can confirm.
I’m planning to have another pass at it weathering wise as this was just a quick hour or so messing around.
That's the material satin not silk, that's my bad but yes that's what the main cape should have had as the interior.Thanks so much.
Also patiently waiting for Oatys collar to arrive!
I was also planning to perhaps fold a hem into the bottom of the main cape and weigh it down, as you’ve also mentioned.
@Luisenigma1 The bike cape has the satin interior but it’s shorter than the main cape, and too short for regular display.
Great tip.
Yes! And I tried various different applications as well. You can use the stick itself, you can use a brush or a q-tip, you can scrape it into a powder, even just rubbing the pastel onto your finger and applying it that way seemed like it would have its uses.
I believe that's the one's he basically had small defects with.
Yes, I was asking if anyone has gotten one. I was just curious about how noticeable the defects are.
Ah I see. I've only gotten the painted recently I had the chance to get one again today but I only need one.
I almost just got the regular painted version but the way Oaty described the scrapyard version I figured I wouldn’t notice much difference. Guess I’ll find out.
I got a scrapyard cape for my 1/4 scale Dark Knight Batman and it's close to perfect. Not even sure what the defect was for it to be discounted.
It's absolutely terrible.
Jaxon is doing one? I'll probably get one for sure then.
you gotta wonder why hot toys, even after making Batman figures for so long, still gets outdone in the cape department by other people. Every time a Batman is announced my mind goes to “I’ll wait until Jaxon does a cape first before I buy it”.
I think the bike cape looks surprisingly good on yours, honestly.
I think they just don’t care enough to get the capes right, or as right as we’d all like them to be.
