Robin (1995 Wayans)

After “Batman Returns,” plans started to emerge for a third Burton outing. That would have included Marlon Wayans as Robin. Apparently it went so far as signing Wayans, and he even got paid for his efforts that never happened. Obviously, that all fell apart, and things took a very different (read more...)

Alfred Pennyworth (1992 Coat)

I was as pleased as the next Bat-fan to learn that Todd would be releasing a Michael Gough as Alfred figure. I was equally dismayed at what a lazy repaint it was. Todd slapped a new head on a suit that Mr. Gough never wore as Alfred. Imagine if Todd (read more...)

Peggy Carter (Desk)

I printed this Peggy Carter statue as a gift for my wife. This was early in my 3D printing experience, and there is much user error. (Thus the roughness of the desk.) Still, it’s a fun piece. Not sure of the file’s origin, though. Created 2022 (read more...)

Tantive IV (Blockade Runner)

Some time ago, the lovely and talented Tyke Smyers directed me to some 3D files being sold by Greeblerelf, The files in question were Greeblerelf’s version of Kenner-style Tantive IV Blockade Runner, as if it were produced circa 1978. I don’t make a whole lot of “retro” Star Wars stuff (read more...)

Batmobile ’89 Shields

The 1989 Batmobile needs its shields, right? Can’t leave home without ’em! Ryan Meyers 3D sculpted these, and I couldn’t wait to print the files. I used Siraya Blu Nylon Black, for durability and flex, on my Elegoo Jupiter. I had expected to glue the parts together along the edges (read more...)

Batskiboat

When I took the plunge into 3D printing, it was with the goal of producing 1:12 and 1:10 vehicles, large though they may be. High on that list of potential projects was the Batskiboat from “Batman Returns.” I worked with a set of files developed by CGmorph on CGTrader. (read more...)

Alfred Pennyworth (2022)

Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth was some inspired casting. His portrayal of a more layered man, with a rough past, was a perfect modern take on Alfred, without being a caricature. Just fabulous work. This custom is in no way screen accurate, but strongly suggestive of Andy’s appearance as Alfred. (read more...)

Bane (Shirtless 2012)

I’ve said this many times: Sometimes you make a custom because the parts are there, not necessarily because you wanted to. I had some extra Bane parts available after buying the main figures for other projects. I knew if I could find a compatible torso, it would not be difficult (read more...)

Batgirl (1966)

Mcfarlane’s Batman 1966 line is….. okay. I will never understand why he changed the scale and the articulation. It wouldn’t take much to much to make these figures really shine. Case in point: Batgirl. Sad enough the estate of Yvonne Craig denied the likeness rights, so Todd had to settle (read more...)

Batman (2008 Unmasked)

It’s taken me so long to upload completed projects to this website lately that McFarlane has announced and released his versions of the same characters. Talk about the Casimir Curse! Nonetheless, I will press on. I printed the Christian Bale head and the empty mask. The the Bale head came (read more...)
