Inanimate Objects

Mountain

This hunk o’ plastic was found at a garage sale. I’m reasonably sure it was part of a typical green army man set. It was vaguely rock shaped and molded in pale grey plastic, but that’s all that could be said for it. My first thought was to augment the (read more...)

Harley Quinn’s Car

Harley’s car is just a simple repaint of the Shadow car, from the movie of the same name. The secret rocket engines in the back still work, and so does the missile in the front. Harley sat too low in the car, so I built her a small booster seat (read more...)

Gorilla Temple

“Shortly after the founding of Gorilla City, a team of gorilla archaeologists discovered a hidden, ancient temple just outside the city’s outskirts. Such a discovery set off a great deal of controversy, as the temple dated back thousands of years before the citizens of Gorilla City had been bestowed with (read more...)

Fortress of Solitude Zoo

I’ve been pondering how to make a Fortress of Solitude Zoo for many years. The problem is how to create the illusion of a vast space in a much smaller space. That’s no easy task. After Quartermain created his amazing Krypto, I was on the look out for some Secret (read more...)

Fortress of Solitude

Batman has always had a Batcave playset of some kind, but I’d never seen anything made representing a place for Supes to hang his cape. I wanted to correct that oversight. I thought about a FOS for a long time before realizing the answer was staring at me from my (read more...)

Batmobile (Retro)

The Shadow Thundercab became the basis for this project. The bat shield was sculpted and the roof and fin were cut from styrene. The black spray paint made it appropriate for Bats to keep in his garage. Created Spring 1999 (read more...)

Batmobile (Grand Prix)

Somewhere, a devoted Speed Racer fan is screaming. Yes, this is a repainted Mach 5 toy. I am not a Speed racer fan, though I’m more than happy to use Resaurus’ great figures as parts. The Mach 5 playset is simply amazing, and I’d probably have bought it even if (read more...)

Batcave Robin Memorial (TNBA)

Technically speaking, the Robin Memorial appears three different ways over the course of the various animated series: as above in “Over the Edge,” the red and black version in “Sins of the Father,” and of course the full Heroes Memorial in “Batman Beyond.” This time around, I chose to go (read more...)

Batcave Villain Memorials

I love the idea of the Villain Memorials in the Batcave! Why, I don’t know. Funny that way, I guess. These latest versions are updated to reflect the most recent custom efforts. See below for downloads and construction guidelines. The Villain cases are actually plastic banks available at “the Container (read more...)

Batcave Heroes Memorial

The Heroes Memorial was a great set piece seen in almost every episode of “Batman Beyond.” This new updated version features the most accurate renditions of the figures yet. The Heroes Memorial image file measure 6″ x 15″, and is designed to be printed on 11″x17″ paper. The frame for (read more...)
