Merci pour les gentils mots! Malheureusement, ce n'est pas mon chiffre à vendre. Il a été imprimé par son propriétaire et je l'ai peint pour eux. Je ne l'ai pas à vendre, mais j'apprécie votre intérêt !

You are most welcome! It is not a hard one to rework into a better figure. Have fun!

Took me a while ole buddy. I ordered him directly from McFarlane, then...I saw them at Walmart. Coulda had him several weeks ago. Not sure what McFarlane is up to with that. Offering figures through the site, making you pay in full for them there, then distributing them out to other vendors BEFORE shipping to the site buyers. Not a good practice if you ask me. Almost makes me want to simply wait for any of their figures at stores now. No sense pre-ordering any. No advantage at any rate. But yeah, I got him!

Thanks! Get some Intermediate Gauzy! Solves all kinds of shine issues!

Totally agreed! The car came with it's own model scale Batman figure, so he fits right in. No figure would fit this kit. As for the movie, isn't it strange how, as just another movie now, not THE LAST ONE OUT, Batman & Robin is just a wacky episode! Good call! I enjoy it, and even enjoy the characters. More than I used to.

I thought it looked a little small to be the Kenner one! It’s amazing they made the Kenner one such that the figures couldn’t fit properly inside. Looks like a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing…or the vehicle department not knowing what the figure department was doing. Lol. Anyway, yeah, we had B&R on again last night and my wife said “this crazy movie gets better every time I see it.” 😂

Good choice! Enjoy! And thanks for commenting!

Hi Drew! Long time no hear from! Yeah, we don't do Facebook or many other medias. This is our sole channel. Glad to hear from you after all this time! Miss you bro! But, then, I am not in Waycross anymore either, so I miss a lot from the old homestead. We'll have to reconnect some time! L

Thanks, buddy!

Thanks Laura! Good to hear from you again! 😁

Thanks so much!

I had learned some of that, that the Maybach engine was essentially the same one running the Tiger I and Panther models, and that this tank, being so much heavier, wore it out. The Zimmerit thing I had not heard. I am not partial to it on models, so I didn't bother adding it, but that is interesting. I wanted a clean model of the Tiger II to go with my large scale Tiger I and Panther G, so this was fine. Thanks for the comments!

Welcome aboard! And thanks! I appreciate informed posts! Keep them coming! And thanks!

Thanks. I just wanted something different and that would stand out from my large scale Panther and Tiger I. Appreciate the kind words.

@@LesWalker2023 hi mine is now resprayed and a static diorama instead, only half finished because i'm now back onto RC Leopard 2a6

Appreciate that!

Appreciate the kind words! Glad you are getting some History out of all this! Means a lot!

Thanks so much!

Thanks Rick! Means a ton coming from you! 😊

Thanks, Jeff. I have been after this model for...my lifetime! lol! Thanks for the kind words! 😎

Wow! Thank you very much! I think it is for sure, one of my better paints. Appreciate the kind words for such an old project!

Give it a shot! I went with a slightly more yellow green, but those may be better!

Greg, your's was wicked, and I am sorry I saw it before you saw mine, but then again, like you said, we were NOT competing! Nor do I in general. I hate that. But I do love INSPIRATION, and you and your works do inspire me, because your style is so different! Your's could kick Conan's butt! lol! She is TOUGH! But still cool! And different! And yes, I was going for gorgeous, which I like, so yeah. But, I was actually inspired by someone real from my way back past, as well, as trying to use tools I have only recently honed. This is the culmination of a lot of works, and she is a favorite because of that. Thanks again, and you rock, my brother!

No! Lose the terrible and inaccurate plastic colors! Heat and take him apart, paint all armor and body with Vallejo "Oily Steel" and darken the skin of the face a bit, The BELT IS GOOD! Leave it alone. Get him a nice, pleather wired cape, spray all the repainted parts with Mr Hobby Mr Super Clear Matt spray, let dry, gloss coat the belt, knees, elbows, arm blades and eyes, and put him back together! VOILA! He will not only better match your repainted Robin, he will look like he did in the movie! It was the lighting that made him look bluish! He was a solid, overall graphite color. The clear matt coat will not kill the sheen of the metallic repaint, it will enhance it! Trust me! Spray Robin too! You'll see! De-Toys them immediately!

@@LesWalker2023 actually looking at the movie and photos of the costume prop the Sonar Suit is actually a dark gunmetal gray. Oily Steel is much too shiny silver like Leadbelcher. Needs to be darker like Rubber Black only metallic. Maybe mixing Rubber Black with Metal Medium would work. EDIT: I remember now that Metal Medium is exactly the same as Pearl White and mixing it with colors actually lightens the base color several shades so I am thinking Folkart Metallic Charcoal Black would be a perfect match and still be metallic.

@@decadentdave Depends on the light. That's why I'd spray it with a matt coat. Kills the shiny and makes it more dark toned like the movie. Note mine in the video. It is brightly lit, but in lower light, it looks pretty dark. Just saying. But, if you do mix with a flat black, it will tone it down also. I just stand by the Oily Steel shade. Some repros, especially the Hot Toys figure of Batman are way too dark and glossy. And why HT and McF makes the gloves boots and cowl darker, is beyond me. Ever since I first saw the movie in 1995, it was all one shade of graphite.

JUST went online and had to really search for some unfiltered images, and found four that all are from different sources, and when taken in, the Sonar suit is A. Lighter than it looks in many photos and images, B. has less color, and again, is more a graphite shade, but not a dark one, and C. wavers between shiny (probably polished or oiled for photos) and a more matte with a soft sheen look. So, I know I have not missed this one. See the video of my custom made 1/6 Sonar suit, and my video of the McFarlane figure repainted. Both, painted apart, look the same colorwise. Same shades, same finish painted nearly a year or more apart. Trust me. If I could share the pics I have, you could see it at a glance. However it comes out, best of luck to you on it!

Wow. Didn't even know who Carole Seuling was. Appreciate the comments!

I would at least paint the white in. And when you do the yellow, if using Vallejo acrylic colors, mix deep yellow with a small bit, a drop or two depending on how much you mix, of Wood Grain brown. It needs that to make the golden yellow hue you are looking for. Then, paint that in over the white, in at least two coats so it's rich. Thin coats. Not thick and gloppy. When totally dried, TAKE YOUR TIME, and rim the black back in on the bat and outer rim. When that is dried, coat it with a clear glosscoat like Intermediate Gauzy or at least a nice clear gloss varnish. But thin! You can always layer. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks so much for the kind words!

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words! And what a sharp eye! I missed that for all these years. Shows there is always something interesting to catch! 😉

Give it a shot! It's fun! And thanks!

And remember, Kilmer is a graphite metallic color, a kind of grey. I recommend Vallejo OILY STEEL for the proper color. Then spray with Mr Hobby Mr Super Clear Matt sealer! He won't lose his sheen, he will earn it! Spray your Robin also! You'll see!

Greg? Nicotero? Seriously! Dude! You got the job of a lifetime with that awesome junkyard redo! I honor you bro! The old Chew Crew AND you! Thank you so much for the kind words! Coming from you, on my birthday no less, is the best present of the day! Just so you know, in 2006, I saw that old shark in the junkyard! What you did to to repair and refresh it honors us all! Thank YOU so much for that! And thank you for your very kind words re my paintup! I tried to capture old Brucey! I appreciate that you approve! Take care and may many great projects continue to come your way!

Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words. I used some two part epoxy putty and made teeny teeth laid out on wax paper. When they hardened and set up, I simply trimmed them as I applied to the mouth, for size, and glued them in place with super glue gel. Was not hard, but took some time. Practice first, then give it a go. Oh, you do have to trim out all the old teeth!

@@LesWalker2023 your welcome man it's really incredible work, and thank you for the step by step process! Will be a massive help

It is fun to get these in the mail! Thanks by the way! And glad to have you aboard! Repainting this one is so easy, if you choose to do so. No need to repaint the tunic, but the green has got to go! Get some of the paint I show, it is cheap at Walmart and Hobby Lobby places, and some good hobby spray, Mr Hobby Mr Clearcoat Matt is what I suggest. Really coats and preserves your paints. And if you take him apart, arms, legs, diaper, etc., and repaint the greens, then spray and put him back together, the satisfaction is guaranteed! Give it a try if you feel adventurous!

@@LesWalker2023 oh I was already thinking of hitting it with a metallic green, I wanted to see who else thought to and did it. I made one already from a Movie Masters survival/prototype suit from Batman Begins.. it's awesome to have the real one finally. I don't really upload my figures but I've been doing it since 2013, helped me to stay clean and sober! Just wondering, do you ever see other figures and 1st thought is "oh that'd be a dope such and such" or "dang look all that fodder I can strip off this" lol I'm a sucker for figures with backpacks

@@sethritchie4032 Not so much fodder.I don't invest in a lot of varied figures for parts anymore. I used to. Now I just get the figures I want and most likely rework them.

Im also getting this line due to 90s nostalga!

@@Rob-z7k Good on you! I think these were rockin' cool movies!

Thanks so much. Hard to do without airbrush, but I prefer hand painted stuff anyway. The key is the pigment powders. Learning the chipping methods. That's all rather new to me.

Thanks. I pretty much put my heart into this one!

Let me get back to you on that! Thanks for the kind words! This one a heck of a kit to build, much less paint. I do a lot of washes. Drybrush stuff too, but washes and wipes. Yep, with a finger or something. Model on this scale you can almost get away with murder. It has SO many details.... I use (brush on) pigment powders also! Try those sometime. Makes for great effects!

They are Neca 7 inch figures

Thanks.

Thanks and I am sorry, but I am no longer able to take commissions.

Good hearing from you! And thanks for the kind words on my work. As for the actual model, I think the only place you can get it is through Stannarts. That's www.stannarts.com and David Stann is a great guy, so ask about how you could get one. Get into his site, and ask a question in a comment or something. I know he would want you to have one if you can get it. Tell him Les sent you and maybe get through. Best of luck, and enjoy it if you do get it! I will comment later on the colors I used once you get one. No point in all that now. (BTW, I did not ever use white paint as a color though! I used "White-Grey" by Vallejo for the lightest color and "Ivory" for the teeth. I think I used "Red-Black" thinned down as a wash for the gummy parts. But, no use of actual WHITE on the entire model!)

@@LesWalker2023Thanks for that reply. Much appreciated. I hope I can get through to stannarts and speak to David Stann. Depending on the cost I'm not sure I'll be able to buy it. It looks like it will be an expensive model. I'm wondering about the scale.The killer for me is the postage and currency exchange as mentioned. I'd like to buy that if I can. It's no matter about the colours. Your right about the white. I believe also it's a very light grey almost white. You said you had to make some parts. If I do get this great model I know I'm going to be confused by the mechanical parts. But It's impressive representation of how the actual shark worked. Thanks again. Super work.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

@@LesWalker2023 Hello again from down Under Australia. I found the site of stannarts I tried several times to access and sign up after a few tries I had to prove I'm not a robot I submitted my message and details it said thank you. But I'm not sure if my information actually got through and how will I be contacted. I'm not on Facebook or any other website. Doesn't matter thanks though for providing the site. The model of Jaws is on the first picture I saw in this site.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

Thanks! I am amazed at how cool these McFarlane figures really are. Some amazing progress has been made with poseable toys!

Thanks so much!
