(BTW the Ash figure colored on the left is non-other than a Jin Saotome custom I won, and no he is not for sale, the grey one is my lame attempt) just something i thought would look cool working on what i should make the rest of the body out of. I really like the resolute duke body since that really dose suit what Batou's commando look is like. here is a pic i found that I'm tryin to base it off of but more so i want to go with the look of the first movie sooo.... the resolute duke's body does fit this category for this custom quite well, I'm just curious what your opinions are and what i should do with the rest of his body. (Keep in mind Batou is kinda a big guy but I don't want oober muscle I just want as close to the 1st movie look i can get)

I forgot to add that the recipe is super basic for this figure, all i did was cut off the goggles off a Buzzer figure and then glued them to the resolute Dukes face being he did have the closest hairstyle to Batou's

I'd have to see more photo references of Batou's body, it's been a while since I've seen the movie.
As for the eyes, that works pretty well. You could also use 2 different sizes of styrene rod if you want to make the eyes smaller than Buzzer's goggles. Excellent start! |

What about using the torso from the new comic pack Destro? The flack jacket and muscle tone seem similar to that first pic you provided. Much like with Daremo, it has been some time since I have seen GITS.

Awesome start to a very smooth looking custom. It's always nice when a little mod can nail a custom dead on!!

Looks good. I thought that Resolute Duke looked more than a little like Batou.

trust me as much as I'd love to make him which he is going to be down the line later i just wanted to make an homage to the first movie since that one was my favorite.
