I got this kit direct
from Dave the owner of Killer Kits at a past Memro
show in Birmingham. It was a kit that I had often looked
at and admired, I decided to give it a go after seeing 2
build ups on the KK tables.
The kit comes in 4 parts, the base/Bat body, head, left
arm and the statue figure. The whole kit wash washed, and whilst
drying I planned the building stage. I decided to leave
the head off and paint the flesh tones separate, due
to the seam in the cape it could be added quite easily
later without the need for putty. The left arm (the
one with the clenched fist) was also left off for
ease of painting the Bat figure, again this could be added
without putty when the figure was completely painted. |

After priming the kit
with white auto primer, I started with the base. This was
given a basecoat of Light Cinnamon then drybrushed around
the edges with Caramel Brown. Once dry I started
drybrushing the Greens, first Dark Green, then 2
lighter shades to get the desired effect. Next came the
Bat figure, Medium Grey for his suit, Midnight Blue
basecoat for the cape/gloves/boots then drybrushed with
True Blue, the suit was shaded with Medium Grey and
Dark Grey pastels.
The statue was basecoated with Matt
Black then drybrushed with 3 lighter shades of Grey
to get the granite effect I wanted. Flowers
basecoated in Dark Green and drybrushed with Shamrock to
pick up the leaves, the roses are Blood Red |

I think this is a true classic Bat kit and one
that I highly recommend to
any Bat collector.
