OK, now that that's out of the way, I've wanted to do a Crazy Quilt for awhile now since I seem to be working my way down from batman's A-C-List villains to the lower rungs of his rogues gallery. On paper he's an easy figure to make but the execution is a bit more...maddening:

Base: DCUC Bronze Tiger
Arms: DCUC Red Robin
Head: DCD Silver Age Lex Luthor
- I replaced the lower arms (from the biceps down) with the RR DCUC figure so I could get the gloved look
- primed the figure in white, marked off the patches and began to paint...and pain...and paint. I often had to the revisit the paint job several times to try and make the colors as vibrant and neat as I could. (I used ordinary acrylics)
- sculpted the shoulder pieces and hotglued them on
- Hot glued the Lex Luthor head to the neck. I had to chisel down the neck a little bit
- The porn star mustache is sculpted on.
- There is a bit of shadowing around the eyes since the guy was in a freak accident after all
- I used a toothpick to white out his pupils so he looks blind
- The helmet is sculpted on and patterned after a Magneto helmet. It is painted gold with white trim. The lenses on the helmet are putty. I MIGHT go to Jo-Anns and pick up some small stick-on beads for the lenses.

He is definitely a time consuming figure but I think well worth it--especially cause he adds some color to my Batman rogues shelf filled with characters in blacks and darker hues.
