That suit is fantastic! The begins suit is the best in the Nolan trilogy in my opinion. That is really a museums piece and its amazing to see it come together! Thanks for posting here, and congratulations for your persistence!

Re: Batman Begins Batsuit Armoire & Wayne Enterprises Equipment Case
Some new Grapple Gun darts:
This new set is made in bronzed and polished black steel, to replace the printed plastic ones shown earlier.
The 3D model was reverse engineered from a CAD screenshot posted on the RPF by the original prop maker. So this is about as accurate as you could possibly get, with some added realism. They fit perfectly down the barrel of my grapple, which is getting some upgrades at the moment.
Next step will be attaching a monofilament line to a couple of these.

Re: Batman Begins Batsuit Armoire & Wayne Enterprises Equipment Case
After watching so many videos from Adam Savage on Tested.com and his amazing builds of storage containers and cases for his props, particularly the one for his Captain America suit, I was inspired to update my equipment case.
So far I've always been using a Pelican 1700 rifle case with custom foam. The aesthetic is not far off from something we might find in the Nolan bat-verse, but honestly I've been really wishing I could have the actual cases as seen on screen.
After years of searching, I've concluded those are custom made, so I've decided to build one myself.
The main crate of the case I'm building out of poplar wood. Then I'll redesign the foam inserts, attach side latches, and the outer angled "block" pieces will be resin cast.
In the past couple of weeks I got the basic box finished, but I didn't really factor in just how large this thing would be in 3 dimensions. It's huge! 32.5" long, 19.5" wide, and almost 17" tall with lid.
I made it taller than the original probably is because I'm adding a second layer. The top foam will sit on a shelf that serves as the lid for the bottom layer. The belt and grapple and foam will all lift out, exposing my secondary props underneath it: Batarangs, Mini-Mines, Mangler, Boot Beacon, Tumbler Key, etc.
I threw tons of Plasti-Dip on it for a start, and it will get another few coats once the outer blocks are attach. Thanks to Leiter for help with those.
One thing I'm not sure of which orientation the Wayne Enterprises data plate should go?
