I still think of this figure as a WIP, but I think he's far enough along to post as a Finished figure...and odds are I won't make any changes to the figure anyway...so the point is moot.
This is an update on my Night Viper BAT. I've shown this one before I didn't start out with the intention of making this specific figure, but through the process of casting and using up resin I made enough Clear Bat Parts, that when I made the new molds for the Thighs, feet, and attachment I decided to test them in clear...so I'd be able to make this Night Viper BAT: Stealth Variant. I didn't make the mold for the Night Viper Crotch yet, so I used a BAT crotch in it's place... articulation is a little stiff because the Night Viper thighs are much larger than the BAT's thighs. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...P/IMG_9142.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...P/IMG_9144.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...P/IMG_9141.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...P/IMG_9140.jpg I'm pretty happy with the results...I was amused after taking the 1st pic of him, I decided I needed to add a darker background to provide more Contrast. I have a copy of the J&R Bat chest insert cast in clear for this figure...It fell out and I didn't realize it until after I took all the pics...but it has me thinking maybe I should try something like a Black and White copy of the Lenticular... I welcome any thoughts, opinions, or critiques you may have. |

Awesome.
But why does a BAT need a long NV scope? Seems like that kinda thing would be built in. Give him a transluscent sniper rifle to make him the deadliest thing in all Joedom.

love translucent figures, and the addition of the blade (and holder) is over the top

Thanks, All the parts to this figure are cast in Clear Resin.
Thanks... In my thinking, I see Cobra trying to stay as efficient as possible. Why pay for all the technical skill and engineering of minimizing and packing the Night Viper Scope into the BAT head. It makes much more sense to just Attach the NV scope to the BAT head...no changes needed to the scopes lets Cobra save $ by ordering in Bulk and distributing the scopes between the Night Vipers and the Night Viper Bats. Also i think it looks cool and that's good enough for me. |
