Hi Guys
Just thought I would share a quick project I've just completed.
My step daughter is a massive comic book & Batman fan and has also just started her first real job so I wanted to make something for Xmas that she could have on her desk.
As she is clumsy I needed something wich wasn't fragile and found a pack of 3 vinyl elfin figures, Batman, Robin & Catwoman, that measure about 3 inches tall.
So I went to work by airbrushing a black primer and then using acrylics to paint in the details, with an enamel gloss coat over the top to protect it and then I flatted some of the details to give a bit of contrast.
Then a simple base made from foamboard to resemble stone and hey presto!
It was only a few hours work, but a thoroughly enjoyable few hours, which I know will be appreciated as a stocking filler.
Thanks for looking
