Battle Damage BAT ! ! ! ...! ! !

[TheTransTorture]

This is easily most most excited I've been making a custom...I've been waiting for this figure forever until today !
The wait is over...this is the FIRST BAT I have seen in real life (scored 2 more 3 hours later :)).
I just started this as soon as I got home, took about 3 hours.

ENJOY TANKERS ! ! !

[VIPER 48]

Wow, you really beat the hell out of that thing!...I love it, great job!...

[coreyrc]

H. O. L. Y. Crap!!! That is AWESOME!

[VIPER 48]

It looks a lot better than the version we are getting...:) Even though i am looking forward to the battle damaged BAT...

[sgtapon]

that's awesome

[atomicpower]

Very impressive. Verrrrrry impressive.

[DOC]

Jesus!!! That just floored me, Blew all of my expectations out of the water! Truly A Superior Custom

[Revelstoke]

Well Done!

[Nirvana]

Very nicely done. I was thinking of drilling and then melting a hole straight through the chest to simulate a laser hit, but the bullet holes to the chest simply look excellent. How did you get the spiderweb cracking on the chest plastic?

[TheTransTorture]

Thanks everyone !!! ...it was a blast !

Literally :)

[badgumbo]

You have outdone yourself sir! That is one battle damaged piece of hardware...perfect destruction!

[Money-B]

Yet he still maintains 85-90% of all functionality. Amazing work.

[numb007]

awesome

[TheTransTorture]

Thanks again everyone ! ! !

I posted this over on the "25th Collection Photos" thread but it deserves to be here as well...

"See now that's what I was talking about. Now cut off one of that sucker's arms and go to town on him. Have wires coming out of the elbow joint or something. Maybe even cut off a leg at the knee and do the same thing. He could then hold his lost appendage with his claw. I also think he needs a bit more scrapes and bullet holes filled in with silver like you do on the Transformers.

Awesome friggin work on his head and chest plate. Keep up the good work."

[Skyhawk]

Reminds me of some of my model cars I have built... You got some skills man!

[silverfox870]

I hope you like Rhode Island, because you need to apply for a job at hasbro, that is awesome!

[ceraurus]

Great work!

[TheLongestDay]

Badass!

[WVMojo]

Man that BAT is ridiculous. If Hasbro's listening, you need to hire this guy to turn out some molds for the masses!

[esg2145]

Looks like Sgt. Slaughter got hold of him! (see "Arise Serpentor Arise " cartoon :) )


Nice work. :)



.

[MTN]

That is spectacular!

[joss789]

[245am]

very nice job on the whole thing, especially the loose wires... like others ahve said, I wish this was we are getting later...

[Driftbot]

i think even jin would poop himself if he saw this.
this custom is right up your alley! i always loved viewing your work and this is no exception!

i've been wanting to do this since before we knew about 25th BATS, and now i dont have to cry about destroying a vintage BAT! woohooo!!!

now i just need to find a few...

again, amazing work man!

[ShakeZula77]

Congrats TheTransTorture on making the front page. :>)

Thanks !
This calls for a party !
Wait...I was already party'in......YAH !... *goes back to party'in*

[doubleblast518]

thats what a battle damage figure should look like, big ups for the gun shots 2 the head

[Xerofall]

Very nice!!!!

[wheeljaxx]

goood goood super goood . youi are suuuuper goood

[uberthawk]

did u by any chance think about melting the gernads off?
the bullet holes, shattered face plate, exposed wires...brillant

[MLos1]

This is what a BAT looks like after he comes in contact with my custom zombie Romero Trooper. They tear BATs to shreds.

Androids vs the Undead.

Priceless.

[modeling_man]

Awesome stuff.
I love the bullet holes through the glass. Impressive stuff!
B

[CG23]

That is just simply awesome!! I love the exposed wires coming out of the chest. Great job

[Unclassified]

thats bad ass dude . not only do you like merciful fate , but you make a bad ass custom as well, cheers my man great job

[Syn3sthesia]

That B.A.T. is awesome.

[CornDog_The_Ninja]

This is one of the best customs ever.

[Zefram]

And it still looks like it's ready to fight! I can see a lot of people imitating this custom in the future. I know I probably will if BATs start getting common. Awesome work!

[Tunnel Rat]

dude that bat is awesome, are you going to make anymore like that and have an army of them?

[TheTransTorture]

Glad you all like it !!!

did u by any chance think about melting the gernads off?Goodness no...I might damage something.

Mmmm...I can almost smell it from here...rotting flesh and burnt hydraulic fluid.
...*waits for Deadites*...

dude that bat is awesome, are you going to make anymore like that and have an army of them?I kinda have to now...don't I ? :)

Thanks again folks ! :):):)

[GILTYONE]

Very nice! The dry brushin adds tons to this piece too! And u included the stand in to the damage nice lol! I started one of these wit my second bat I got but really couldn't "mess up" the figure so I just "battle damaged" the chest plate wit holes and cracks. I too did the webbin which adds to the damage 10 fold!

[Ev!L ErN!E]

This is by far one of the coolest customs I've seen... great idea... it looks amazing, to bad it wasn't bubbled and carded because I'd buy it ;)

[SunDown]

Bravo. Truly impressive. I hope the one that Hasbro makes looks half as good!

[Dark 5cythe]

your the best at tearin shit up lol. The cracked glass is so obvious and so genius! Nice work!

[MAJOR WOLF]

Still can't stop myself from saying Awesome Job!

[Da Boz & Shipwreck]

Did this get on the front page at all? If it did, I missed it, and if it didn’t…it should have. The quality and workmanship of it is totally flawless, and just beautiful, I can’t even begin to imagine how you pulled all that intercate detail off! Wow, if only you could buy something like that off the shelf…but then there’d be nothing for talented folks like you to do so…maybe it’s a good thing Hasbros quality isn’t great ALL of the time.

Sweet...and rightly so, thanks for the heads up!

[Hannibal]

freakin nice!

[Dreadnoks-R-Go]

Very, very nice!! Great job! Now if only I can get a BAT of my own!

[zartan1]

WOW, fantastic!
