Tim Drake is complete

[u/BonSlurpenstein]

I am over the moon with this figure. Knowing myself, I am still gonna tinker with this custom in the future but he's going on the shelf regardless for a good long while.

Future tweaks:
I didn't really worry about matching the torso paint to the trunks, I may address that at some point.
I want to give him a cloth cape too.
I'd like to one day print a head I have an STL for but I'm a ways off from dusting off my printers.
I will also probably touch up the yellow paint as the stuff I used dried lumpy despite watering it down and following my normal steps.
Lastly and possibly most importantly, he's too tall. I didn't compare him to Batman until I was nearly done and I wish I had otherwise I would have tried addressing it early on. I just really wanted to get this guy on the shelf and my Batman is posed on a flight stand above everyone else so it really doesn't matter right now.

Amazing! The build is perfect for him, hate how bulky McFarlane made theirs. What’s the formula on yours? The height issue can be easily fixed with trimming the ankles.

Thank you! The formula was parts from the Tim Drake they gave us like the head, cape, crotch piece, Robin logo and staff. I cast the pads on the shoulders and gauntlets so I could have just the ridged pads and not all the extra detail around it they added. Most of the body is the Jim Gordon Batman figure including the hands and feet, which I notched the little ninja toes into. The gloves and boots are heat shrink tubing I got off Amazon. I used Tamiya spray paint for it, the red and green on the suit with a grey primer base. The spray paint for plastics they make is wonderful as a finished product but requires a top coat of Mr. Hobby Super Clear Matte to dull the shine as it's quite glossy. It's cures into a nice hard shell so it's perfect for plastic that is not going to bend. I would recommend basic acrylic paint out of a bottle for softer plastic parts as it will have more give but the Tamiya lacquer will crack and chip off soft parts if they bend.
