Edward Gore Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) All blog pictures are here: https://imgur.com/a/4a7rF  I bought an applicator bottle full of dry graphite lube for the locks and tumblers at the house several years ago. A few parts need a brighter metallic finish and for this I used the graphite.  I have facial makeup applicators somewhere stashed but I couldn't find them.   The applicator was made by sticking a piece of self adhesive neoprene tape onto the end of a wooden craft stick. It was dabbed into a small pile of graphite poured directly out of the bottle  The graphite was rubbed onto the part surfaces where it is suppose to be that sort of titanium finish.    (that tiny little scratched detail part located at the top of the right hand grip broke off somewhere so I'm making a new one now)     good shot of the inside of the finished and enclosed munitions cluster part  All blog pictures are here: https://imgur.com/a/4a7rF Edited November 21, 2017 by Edward Gore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Batman keeps the gear clean, tidy and squared away. I always assumed Lucius had one of the interns do that kind of stuff. Seriously, though- that looks fantastic! Are you planning on doing the Tumbler with the same attention to detail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliment I'm not sure if it's out yet or not (it's been delayed at least once from what I've heard)- I just know I'm chomping at the bit for that one to come out!

Dave Van Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Got the figure set a few days ago......was waiting on it to build my POD.....and I too am waiting on the Tumbler!!!! Nice work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan S. Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Nice work on this. I've got to pick one of these up. All of your detailing makes a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Gore Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Thanks fellas! Dave - Good idea because they would have to be built together so the figure will fit properly. Ryan - I bought two more already. I got a few kitmash ideas for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Van Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Dave - Good idea because they would have to be built together so the figure will fit properly. The instructions show how to build the figure if you already built the Pod...but my laziness has paid off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Gore Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Haha cool. Can you show us the Instruction Sheets? I'd like to see the sprue shots as well thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Ed, that turned out fantastic. Got mine done, too. I appreciate your pics and links, it was invaluable for my own build. I have the figure set and Tumbler kits on back order. Can't wait to get those. SuperDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Gore Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks for the compliment, Dave. You wouldn't mind posting some sprue shots of the figure kit would you? I'd dig seeing what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
