Keaton 89 redux PIC HEAVY


I know, I know…been done a dozen times. Well an opportunity presented itself and we decided why not. The movie had a heavy influence in our interest in Batman so this is somewhat of a dream project. :wink

First thing to tackle was the cowl of course. I understand the origins of this master we received to be a restoration of a screen used or production made piece from PJ. In order to keep it as close to the original as possible he left much of the surface untouched. We wanted to do something a little different as the surface exhibited some signs of foam rot. Also the scallop tips shrivelled up in every direction giving it very little symmetry. Even for an 89. :lol There was also a seam line at the back which we wanted to get rid of.

Image

Thought it would be easy enough but it ended up being much more work than we anticipated. Straightening out those scallops and making it so an emblem fit back in the hole were particularly challenging. But it eventually got there.

 Retexturing it for that 89 veiny texture below the chin was also a challenge but achieved thanks to a rubber stamp taken off a screen used cape. Thanks, Nat!

After the molding process there was a test casting to show.

Which much to my shock fit my 24 inch head with room to spare. Even with full Movember beard.
 :lol
Image

Can't forget the emblem.

Pleased with the end result and excited to move onto the next pieces.
