Catanas Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Speedcat zooms into The Gotham Museum just in time to disarm one of the Jokers Laughter bombs. ADDITIONAL IMAGES: - Larger image of Vignette Some of the design work. The decals themselves Project Inspiration. As soon as I saw this contest, I knew I was going to enter the hero category as my first real attempt at minifigure customization. I love fun and quirky heroes, especially the Flash. I was a bit unsure at first about doing a speedster but then I decided what the heck, why can't Gotham have a speedster? So off to work I went. Her looks came partly from a character I'd posted before in my reviews here, and partly from my DC Universe character, but with a totally revamped costume (Pinktastic!). Her backstory was another thing entirely. I wanted to try and have a way for a young British (Aye, British because well, there aren't enough Brits in Gotham!) speedster to get into Gotham and one of the comics I'd fallen in love with recently gave me a way in! Knight and Squire are kind of like a British version of Batman and Robin, and get involved in Batmans affairs from time to time. As with most comic book British heroes, magic takes a big role and there was my way in! After that I just had to figure out a way to move her to Gotham. Waynetech seemed like a great answer, and it allowed Batman to keep an eye on her...which he does! As this was my first proper attempt at customizing, I ended up going through a few torsos and legs experimenting with decals, but settled on Vinyl stickers in the end as I couldn't quite seem to get the gloss coat right. It doesn't look too bad however! :) Cost: - Mia Hair - £1.00 4x Black Torso - 4x 0.30 = £1.20 4x Black Legs - 4x 0.20 = 0.80 Surfer Girl Legs - 0.10 2x Dark Pink arm sets - 2x 0.60 = £1.20 Transfer Paper - £2.20 Vinyl Sticker Paper - £1.30 Final cost = £7.80 + the odd bit of decal fix and gloss coat. Hope you enjoy it! Cat (PS: My photography still isn't the best! ) Edited June 26, 2012 by Catanas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
