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)

That's looking pretty dang cool man!!!!

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?

[Edward Gore]

Sixx - Thank you brother!

Michigan Madman - the Tumbler is already released and out now ?!? Yes, I sure will. 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!

[Sixx]

I agree with ya on that one Chuck!!!!!!

[randx0]

I bought this when it came out but it is outside my wheelhouse and I have been hesitant to start it because it is different than what I am used to . This walkthru that you are showing us has really helped clear up alot of questions I had about this kit . thank you I really appreciate it.

[Edward Gore]

MM - ok, that's what I heard too. Got excited there for a sec

randx0 - cool, thanks for checkin it out

[Edward Gore]

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!!

[Ryan S.]

Nice work on this. I've got to pick one of these up. All of your detailing makes a big difference.

[Edward Gore]

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

[doggie427]

WOW !!!!!

[Dave Van]

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!

[Edward Gore]

Haha cool. Can you show us the Instruction Sheets? I'd like to see the sprue shots as well

thanks

[Sixx]

That's cool Ed, makes mine look like a toy!!

[Edward Gore]

Not even. You addressed the master cylinder (behind the right foot rest) which I didn't even want to deal with

[Chuck Most]

Fantastic!

[Edward Gore]

Thanks!

[David G.]

Looks great! Absolutely worth all the extra work.

David G.

[Edward Gore]

awesome, Thanks

[SuperDave]

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

[Edward Gore]

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.
