this is being done very, VERY carefully considering the age and rarity of the pieces....progress will be slow but soooo worth it in the end emoticon

Re: "Mantle of the Bat" '89 Restoration


Still working on the Keaton head, have to raise/extend it and make a nice two part matrix mold. From there we'll be making a puzzle core out of the head to fit, in pieces, into the cowl. We recently actually got in touch with a gentleman who worked on the Keaton films and told us where the original core was separated and into what segments! This is slowly growing as a project as far as accuracy. We've been in contact with many of the people responsible for the original suit as we want to bring this one back to it's full glory!

I don't know if he wants credit or not BUT I'll update should he chime in.

Thanks to a friend, we've acquired a Keaton Body to core this puppy! It appears ALL of the pieces have fallen into place!

It will take us a little while now to mold and clean this up BUT it's moving!
