I'm not proud...this channel is the VERY reason I customized my Batmobile, even used some of Mr. Moustafas' methods which is why mine came out so AWESOMELY...THANK YOU
My dude! I appreciate it, bro! When I was 15 I met a Boys & Girls Club counselor who was from NY, and he grew up in the 80s as a bboy and graffiti writer. He taught me to dance (he's my real-life Mr. Miyagi), and being a bboy was a huge part of my life and kept me out of trouble. The only thing he asked in return was that I teach anyone who wanted to learn it. I don't dance as much as I used to, but I try to use that same mentality here; each one teach one 🙌🏼
Each one of those display windows tells a story. Wonderfully done and it doesn't matter that they are perfectly scaled or perfectly mapped out as they are in the movie. Our minds extends the illusion of what you have done and fills in the rest. Excellent work.
Thank you very much! You're totally right. I've had this thing in my head since I was a kid that tells me that things have to be EXACT, haha. This hobby has really taught me to give a little wiggle room for that kind of stuff, and it's freeing.
Stumbled upon you’re channel, absolutely love you’re work on this 1989 batcave diorama, I’m inspired to try and do this! I’ll definitely give you credit anytime someone asks! Cheers man!
Thanks very much, dude, I really appreciate it! I learned a lot of stuff from @Alfigures here on youtube when I was first trying my hand at them. If you're not subscribed to his channel, I highly recommend it!
“Bat-tas-tic”JOB this is Great Ibrahim!!! I’ve been a Bat-fan for over 55yrs. Love the Batman. Comics books taught me how to Read&Draw! I have a Massive Collection of “bat-stuff” at my current Age 67 & still Collecting, DC Multiverse Action Figures by McFarlane Toys as you know have been turning out The Batman Figures from all over His Legendary History, there’s some Complaining about there being to many, but I like it…anyhow keep up the Great WORK!!! And Thank YOU.✌️🦇🦇🦇🦇
@@Ibrahim_M love the display. Every little thing is detailed. have you seen the mezco 1989 Batman? Also do you think there will be a new Nicholson joker? I can only imagine if you have plans for a Gotham diorama
@@youtubedeletesmychannels2329 Thanks very much! Yeah the Batman that's in the diorama with the car is the Mezco 89. I really love that figure! I know it's had some QC issues, but aesthetically it's incredible to me. I saw that Filix Toys was supposed to be making a 1/12 Nicholson Joker (they made recent Ledger version that was incredible), so I'm still hoping that happens. My plan is to put it in the cave part of the dio and treat it like a display shelf that is cave-themed, since there's empty space in it with Bruce and Alfred. I've actually got a DeVito Penguin in there now, too (he still needs customizing).
@@Ibrahim_M I’m gonna look that up. I hope it’s not that old tired re used hot toys joker head sculpt. I’ve been seeing that for years and it’s not as accurate
Do you ever just sit back and take it all in? You have a amazing collection and set up of dioramas I would sit and look for hours on end with some chill music in the background haha. You really outdid yourself making art is something you’re truly amazing at 🙌
Thank you, bro! I try to stop and appreciate it all at least once a day, for real. Sometimes I'll just turn all the LEDs on and stand there looking at the shelves. I do often have to remind myself to appreciate what I've already made instead of seeing all the things that I "still have to do", haha. All this stuff is in my office, and I work all the time, so surrounding myself in stuff that brings me joy and inspiration is really key for me, and it provides really necessary escapism. Thanks again, my dude. I really appreciate the kind words!
@@Ibrahim_M “I do often have to remind myself to appreciate what I've already made instead of seeing all the things that I still have to do" really well said man I’m working on that myself
That looks really dope. Dry wall plaster or plaster of Paris can be diluted in water to get as thick or thin as you need, great for filler/ rock texture or anything else really
A remarkable build by a very clever enthusiastic gentleman whose love of The Batman clearly shines through. Truly excellent work and I shall continue to follow your work.
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words! I'll be doing something for my Mezco Batfleck and Batmobile at some point (though smaller due to space) so stay tuned for that down the line :)
I had talked to someone through Ramen Toy , there is a kit you can order for the Michael Keaton 22 inch 1989 Batmobile for adding the Gas Caps, replacing the Canopy, and the Machine Guns . It is $19. 95 or so . I am going to order it. I have the Flash 22 inch Multiverse Batmobile the Canopy is the right color, just don't slant downwards. I saw what you did to your Batmobile, you couldn't have done a better job. I was greatly impressed.
Thanks so much, Richard, I really appreciate it. Yeah I think that Ramen kit looks excellent. I don't have one myself, of course, but I would definitely be getting one if I hadn't already made the changes. Your batmobile is going to look stellar!
Man your creativity continues to blow my mind! Batcaves always come of being more advanced projects with the cave structure. I absolutely love your spin on being screen inspired and accommodating everything to your space. It would be real easy to get lost in trying to be exact but picking certain features and expanding from there helps capture the scenery. I appreciate how you save scrap! I get in trouble for doing it but I haven’t been as active in repurposing as you! I appreciate you sharing your hobby. Your work is amazing and not caring to share your tips and supplies is really respectable. Can’t wait for the next!
Yooo thank you so much, dude! I really appreciate the kind words, and you always rocking with me on these videos 🙏🏼. Haha, I feel you on the "getting in trouble" for saving scrap. My wife used to rib me about it, but over the years she's seen how I always end up using stuff, even if it's like 2 years later, and now she just smiles and nods, haha. And re: sharing, I'm of the opinion that a rising tide raises all ships. I get zero satisfaction out of being someone who has stuff that other people don't, haha. Thanks again, my friend!
This is an amazing display! The vault alone is a work of art. The rocks you did look so good, I would add more to that black board, so it would add to the cave feel.
Thanks very much! Yeah, I think I may even just make a rock addition to stick on top. I realized after I stopped recording that a big reason it was the height that it was is because that was the size of the foam board I had, lol
Excellent! You can always start small with one for a single figure; one of your favorites. Then you're taking a smaller bite and getting a feel for it. That's how I got myself going on them. Have fun!
This is so amazing, I’m going to give this a go for my 89 display. Thank you for sharing where you get everything too, can’t wait to see you next video.
Great! Well done. I love doing my own dioramas as well. I did a similar steam thing coming out of the pipe. I had mine coming out of a manhole cover. Very effective!
My gosh! This has to be the coolest diorama build I have ever seen! I attempted an '89 Batcave dio about a year ago but dang... this inspires me to do a second attempt! You have an amazing skill bro. Props to you 🙏
Thank you! I keep meaning to do another one, but then something new comes out, or I start a new project and I postpone it 😂 But I will be doing one soon because I’m very busy with work, and I don’t have to make anything new to do a tour 😂🙏🏼
@Ibrahim_M I totally mean it from the heart, bro! It was so amazing, simple, effective, and eye-catching to display your collection. It has inspired me to take a stab at doing the same for my collection. Keep up the marvelous work, and please continue sharing your work with the community more and more
Thanks so much! And thanks for sticking with it, that means a lot! There’s hours of work that goes into filming and editing these, and it’s always a bummer to know that most people skip to the end so I really appreciate it 😂🙏🏼
You just got yourself a subscriber from Egypt. I am beyond amazed by the quality of your work and creativity in finding the right resources. Great stuff bro
@@Ibrahim_M I collect too but I’m too damn lazy to dust the shelves every month, pose/repose, make a TH-cam channel. It’s channels like yours that give me that satisfaction. Keep it up ya basha
I'm afraid it's not really enough of a process to document in a video, but I'll explain it here: Basically I took a blank body (looks like a little naked human) and out the clothes onto it. Then I painted the blank head and placed it on the body. That's it! Thankfully It was nice and easy compared to most other customs that I make, haha.
The diorama is amazing, you inspired me to start making mezco style bloodborne & dark souls figures, now im making a dio and can't wait to start filming my progress, keep the great content coming up. My mentor.
I think it would stand up to play, but I personally wouldn't recommend it given the price point and the rarity of it (limited run size). If you're looking for a play version, I'd get the Mattel one that I show at the end, or the Mattel 1/10 RC version. I don't have a Mattel JL Batman, but I know that figure is a bit smaller than the mezco version, so I think it would fit.
Man I can’t say it enough. Your work is top tier. So cool and motivating to start my projects. Thank you for all the videos you put out. I learned so much and I definitely will give credit where credit is due. I’ll be sure to pop that link when I add some ideas I take from this video and all the others. Thank you Sir! You the man Broski!❤
Thank you, dude! That really means a lot. And you’re welcome. I always hope that people might learn some tips on how to make cool stuff for their collection and enjoy it more, so hearing that makes my day. Definitely be sure to come back here and drop that link!
I missed out on the 1st preorder… then the second. When it showed up on my amazon cart as available a week ago I ordered it without hesitation. It arrived yesterday and now I realize I need a batcave to go with it. Excellent series. From the customization of the Flash Batmobile to this. Absolutely epic. Now… we just need someone to FINALLY make an ecto-1 in 1/12 scale
Congrats on getting one! It was such a hassle in the beginning when they were released, I’m so glad they’re becoming more available. Thank you for checking these out! I hope they were helpful! And I have plans to build an Ecto-1 here on the channel! I’ve finally sourced a shell to use as a basis for it (an RC hearse), so that will be something that happens on here eventually. And I’m sure as soon as I start, someone will make an official version, because that’s what always happens for me 😂 Currently rounding 3rd base on a custom turtle van! Hoping to have part 1 of that build up on here this weekend.
Thank you very much! It's probably my favorite thing on my shelves-- it's really fun to give these things an little environment to live in, haha. Thanks for checking it out!
@@khoderAhmad-vs1qi Man, I'm literally working on one right now! Haha. I'll be doing a video on it in the coming weeks. Hoping to finish the figures and setup this weekend. Stay tuned!
Thanks! haha, yeah man, when I was a kid I was always so enamored with the background sets the toy commercials had, so this feels like making my own now as an adult.
Great vid. Thanks for sharing it with us, just got my 89 bat-mobile the other day and would love to make a diorama for it some day so cheers for the tips and tricks on how to do it on a budget. Again thanks for sharing 👍🏻
You're most welcome, Dave. Congrats on getting the much-sought after batmobile! Seems they've still been harder to find all these weeks later. Thanks for the kind words, and have fun!
If anyone else is thinking about using a platform in their build, I was inspired to look at elevated model train platforms. I'm someone who is envious of people who can create stuff totally from scratch, but if you are looking for a base or even just ideas, that's a possibility. This was the video that made me want to use the kenner computer, but I still can't decide on a platform or chairs yet. I'm hoping to find some kind of leftover plastic grating from something I already own.
Thank you very much! I hand-modified my batmobile but I have been recommending your CAG set to people a lot. So glad that you made that, it looks really great!
@@Ibrahim_M We appreciate it. Definitely your video was among the 1st we saw modifying the canopy. Then we saw many after that, that we decided to do it for the community so that people don't have to feel funny that their canopy didn't look right compared to the ones owned by folks like yourself. Especially when many aren't customisers with the skills to perform the scratch building.
@@RAMENTOY That's great, thank you! I believe I was the very first person to modify it online, and I had SO many people ask me if I could make a mold available. As I'm sure you know it's really difficult to make a mold of something this shape as just one person by hand. I'm really thrilled that you made something available for the community to enjoy this toy more, because it was really close to being great. I'll keep sending people your way!
@@Ibrahim_M totally understand. It would be “more easy” if you had the ingredients and materials and even the set up to make the recast molds. But even then, it would be quite an endeavour to do. And the result may not be matching the expectations of what the person you asked you to do it in the 1st place, had in mind. Because if one was used to buying actual injection molded toys and parts, a recast is a step down as it does not deliver the same quality and feel. Not that recasts are bad. There are some really good casts for G kits , (Garage Kits) of very intricate sculptures. So it’s all about managing expectations, and the costs and effort to make something.
@@RAMENTOY EXACTLY, haha. Resin is brittle, air bubbles in a shape like that are a guaranteed problem, etc. And it would have been a full time job to make them, and I already have a full time job 😅
Man you REALLY knocked this out of the park, fantastic work as always! I, like many others in the comments are completely inspired to make a Batcave diorama now. Thank you for taking the time to put up these tutorials and showing off your incredible work.
Thanks so much, dude! I appreciate the kind words! Yeah, give it a shot! It's time-consuming, but overall not too difficult. MUCH easier than the batmobile mods, haha.
Hahahaha I bet, and you are quite welcome man! I'm just now starting to get all my orders in to start the mods on the Batmobile, then on to the Batcave!
I just finished adding led lights with on board rechargeable battery on the McFarland gold label batwing and Michael keyton looks awesome in the lighted cockpit.
I absolutely love your videos and give us newbies hope that it's possible what we never thought of or the courage to go for it!!! I’m just starting out with this whole diorama for my action figures and seeing your videos gives me that push to go it… again thank you so much for the time and effort to make these videos !!
Well well, Ibrahim my friend this diorama is absolutely stunning!! I love it, the attention to detail is second to none. I had not even noticed the bat cage in the film lol, and to have show us all how you did it is fantastic. I noticed you might of taken ideas on the vault from the one ive shown...yes/ no? Lol. Just amazing work and so enjoyed watching this. Having my full 1/6 89 bat cave early next year in time for the Jazzinc 89 Batmobile, and now watching this am really looking forward to it. Great video as always bud, and keep them coming!!
Thanks so much, Todd! Wow, I CANNOT wait to see what you end up with! Is that an IC Customs project as well? Now that you mention it, I think your vault was probably a big part of the germ of the idea to build this dio-- I wish I'd realized that at the time of recording, haha. The car was the impetus, but then I had all of the gadgets and I didn't want them to just sit in a closed box. I thought "if I also build the vault, I can display them". I think the reference I found was likely the same stuff that was used to create the file for your 3D printed version. Cheers, my friend!
Really cool ! It turned out amazing. The lighting inside the vault is a big part of it. If you could somehow get a tiny focused overhead light on the suit, I think it would really sell it. Those 2 flat black areas between the pillars maybe you should put a matte painting of the far gantries? If you printed out screen grabs, it might really fill in those spaces .
Thank you! I thought about the light inside, but the lights in my display would wash it out (it does that to my Bale Bat armory that has built in LEDs on a similar shelf ), so I decided it wasn't worth all the effort and time. The matte painting is a good idea! The fun thing about that is that it kinda harkens back to the way they did it in the movie. There's nothing to screengrab because the only angle we see in the movie is the one I included a screenshot of, and there's no black paint that wouldn't look exactly like the boards already look, (unless I can get that really expensive pure black stuff, which is not worth it for this) haha. But I could use the same color bluish-grey to paint the vertical concrete lines to make it look like they're receding into the distance. It wouldn't take too much time either. I think I might do that when I can squeeze it in!
Damn!!👌😳👍👉♥️🦇dude that is freaking awesome!! You’re da man! That’s probably the best looking diorama I’ve ever seen! Looking forward to seeing more on this one!!👌😎👉♥️🦇👍
Man, this turned out awesome! Love all the details! Sorry that people aren't giving you cred. I actually mentioned to @GeekDadLife to check out your customized Batmobile on their live stream the other day. 🙌
This is like better than the sdcc or toy con display for mezco... mezco could actually hire you to make their dioramas to sell new figures.. imagine the opportunity to work with figures that havent been released yet 😱😱😱😱
Thanks very much. Yeah, I know there are some folks out there who 3D print them, but you'd think the companies who have the license to make this stuff would stop leaving money on the table eventually, lol. McFarlane could make it and sell twice as many Batman figures, because everyone would want a spare for the vault.
Always give credit where credit is due, and you sir, deserve it! Your diorama setups look slick, and that work on the McFarlane Batmobile is proper. My son does this with his McFarlane Spawn and Horror movie figures. Although, truthfully they oftentimes get a bit too movie accurate in his setups, lol. Ah, teenagers. Can't say I didn't do something similar. Difference is, figurines from the 90s weren't as visually accurate to whatever they were representing as they are today. So those bloody blades definitely look like they just hacked the Hell out of another figure that's in pieces skewn in front of Jason 😂.
Thanks very much! I really appreciate the kind words. That's so cool that your son is into this stuff; I was much more of a stickler for 100% purity and accuracy when I was younger, too, haha. But yeah, figures are much more believable nowadays, so the feeling of the need for accuracy can be much higher in comparison. Thanks so much for checking out the video!
Brother, amazing work, the level of detail is incredible and the action figures and the batmobile make a spectacular whole. An apology for writing so far, between work and school it is difficult to find time, however you already know that you have my support Bro.
Have you got a 3D printer? All the batcave stuff is now kn cults 3D the vault, the computers batmobile armour etc etc I'm loving it I'm getting everything here lol
Very cool I’m actually in the process of making a Batcave diorama for Friend. I’ll post my video when it’s done. It’s a huge job and it’s probably gonna be around 56 inches in diameter.
Thanks! Haha yeah, I knew people would want to know so I had to break it down. And that way I don't have to type it over and over again in the replies 😂 Thanks for checking out the video!
he had white sneakers while wearing that turtleneck, I use that batcave playset for everything too, looks fantastic! is anyone selling a 3d printed screen accurate canopy yet for that batmobile I have seen any and you'd think the 3d printers on etsy would be working overtime for that by now!
Ah, thank you! I've not been able to find a pic with his shoes ANYWHERE. Do you recall where you saw it? Yeah, I'm surprised-- there were two different people who messaged me showing that they were making one, but I haven't heard anything more from them about it.
Lol this one is also real. Do you mean official? If they do, it'll be too small. I love a lot of what McFarlane makes, but unfortunately it's always too small for their own figures. This BAtmobile was too small (it's 6" scale, not 7"), their 66 Batmobile was too small, the cave and Manor set were too small... I don't know why they don't just scale their stuff up and charge $10-$15 more, people would pay it and thank them for the privilege.

Dang, man! That’s really nice if you- I appreciate that!
@Ibrahim_M I totally mean it from the heart, bro! It was so amazing, simple, effective, and eye-catching to display your collection. It has inspired me to take a stab at doing the same for my collection. Keep up the marvelous work, and please continue sharing your work with the community more and more
I really like what you did with this. I watched the video all the way to the end. Thanks!
Thanks so much! And thanks for sticking with it, that means a lot! There’s hours of work that goes into filming and editing these, and it’s always a bummer to know that most people skip to the end so I really appreciate it 😂🙏🏼
You just got yourself a subscriber from Egypt. I am beyond amazed by the quality of your work and creativity in finding the right resources. Great stuff bro
Marhaba ya akh! Thank so much, man! I really appreciate your kind words, and the sub!
@@Ibrahim_M I collect too but I’m too damn lazy to dust the shelves every month, pose/repose, make a TH-cam channel. It’s channels like yours that give me that satisfaction. Keep it up ya basha
Fantastic creation. Could you please do a tutorial on how to created your Michael Keaton figure.
I'm afraid it's not really enough of a process to document in a video, but I'll explain it here:
Basically I took a blank body (looks like a little naked human) and out the clothes onto it. Then I painted the blank head and placed it on the body. That's it! Thankfully It was nice and easy compared to most other customs that I make, haha.
Ok appreciate it bro. I love your works your very talented.
WOW! You are really good at custom work. Great ideas. Love it. Thanks
Thank you for the kind words!
INCREDIBLE !!!! IT LOOKS GREAT !!!
Thank you so much
The diorama is amazing, you inspired me to start making mezco style bloodborne & dark souls figures, now im making a dio and can't wait to start filming my progress, keep the great content coming up.
My mentor.
Let’s gooooo!!!! That means a lot, dude. And Please make sure to send me a link when you’re done- I’d love to see it!
Oh yes! Absolutely Doing this! Wow.
Thanks for all the inspiration. Definitely shouting out your channel.
Thank you! And you’re welcome! I hope you have fun with it. It’s time consuming but super-rewarding when it’s all done 🙌🏼
Excellent work! I spent last summer customizing a 1/10 Hot Wheels Batmobile into a sceen accurate prop so I appreciate the kit bashing!
I think it would stand up to play, but I personally wouldn't recommend it given the price point and the rarity of it (limited run size). If you're looking for a play version, I'd get the Mattel one that I show at the end, or the Mattel 1/10 RC version.
I don't have a Mattel JL Batman, but I know that figure is a bit smaller than the mezco version, so I think it would fit.
Man I can’t say it enough. Your work is top tier. So cool and motivating to start my projects. Thank you for all the videos you put out. I learned so much and I definitely will give credit where credit is due. I’ll be sure to pop that link when I add some ideas I take from this video and all the others. Thank you Sir! You the man Broski!❤
Thank you, dude! That really means a lot. And you’re welcome. I always hope that people might learn some tips on how to make cool stuff for their collection and enjoy it more, so hearing that makes my day. Definitely be sure to come back here and drop that link!
Wow!! Absolutely amazing work 👏 !!!
Thanks so much, Will!
I missed out on the 1st preorder… then the second.
When it showed up on my amazon cart as available a week ago I ordered it without hesitation.
It arrived yesterday and now I realize I need a batcave to go with it.
Excellent series. From the customization of the Flash Batmobile to this. Absolutely epic.
Now… we just need someone to FINALLY make an ecto-1 in 1/12 scale
Congrats on getting one! It was such a hassle in the beginning when they were released, I’m so glad they’re becoming more available.
Thank you for checking these out! I hope they were helpful!
And I have plans to build an Ecto-1 here on the channel! I’ve finally sourced a shell to use as a basis for it (an RC hearse), so that will be something that happens on here eventually. And I’m sure as soon as I start, someone will make an official version, because that’s what always happens for me 😂
Currently rounding 3rd base on a custom turtle van! Hoping to have part 1 of that build up on here this weekend.
Hats off to you. Wonderful work. I absolutely love it. I am happy I found your channel. 👍
Thank you! And I’m happy you’re here 🙏🏼🙌🏼
if you ever decide to sale display sets I'll be your first customer I'm blown away by what you created genius simply genius 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You're too kind, my friend! If I ever do I will certainly let you know! 🙏🙏
Absolutely fantastic would love this set up
Thank you very much! It's probably my favorite thing on my shelves-- it's really fun to give these things an little environment to live in, haha. Thanks for checking it out!
@@Ibrahim_M awesome I’d love to see you do a Jurassic park set up 😍
@@khoderAhmad-vs1qi Man, I'm literally working on one right now! Haha. I'll be doing a video on it in the coming weeks. Hoping to finish the figures and setup this weekend. Stay tuned!
🤯 Just fantastic work! Looks amazing!
Thanks so much, Bex!! 🙏🏼
This is Badass!! Great job bro! Toy companies definitely need to give us a modern playset of the 89 and Returns batcave's!🦇👍🤘
Thank you very much! Yeah I honestly don’t know why they haven’t. Huge market for it!
@@Ibrahim_M Your welcome.And I know right!? Lets get nuts already!!🦇🦇
Absolutely phenomenal!!!!!!
YOOOO Thank you, Lael! I rock with your channel heavily 🙌🏼
Awesome build as always!
Thanks for the great vid!
Thanks so much, Elijah! I always appreciate you rocking with me!
Oh man this is so awesome. My 8 year old self is dying to have some thing like this.
Thanks! haha, yeah man, when I was a kid I was always so enamored with the background sets the toy commercials had, so this feels like making my own now as an adult.
Great vid. Thanks for sharing it with us, just got my 89 bat-mobile the other day and would love to make a diorama for it some day so cheers for the tips and tricks on how to do it on a budget. Again thanks for sharing 👍🏻
You're most welcome, Dave. Congrats on getting the much-sought after batmobile! Seems they've still been harder to find all these weeks later. Thanks for the kind words, and have fun!
O.m.g. that's so awesome
Thank you!
@@Ibrahim_M You're welcome 😊
Dude this is freaking epic! Im so inspired by this man, congrats this looks really high quality! Man this is freaking epic
Yoooo I really appreciate that! It means a lot!
If anyone else is thinking about using a platform in their build, I was inspired to look at elevated model train platforms. I'm someone who is envious of people who can create stuff totally from scratch, but if you are looking for a base or even just ideas, that's a possibility. This was the video that made me want to use the kenner computer, but I still can't decide on a platform or chairs yet. I'm hoping to find some kind of leftover plastic grating from something I already own.
That’s a great idea that I’d never considered- thanks for the tip!
This man is the Bob Villa of dioramas.
Yooooo that is such a compliment to a 90's kid like myself, haha. Thank you!
Awesome work brother 🦇
Thank you, Liam!
Just chanced upon this, 7 months later.
You have great customising , scratch building skills!
Thank you very much! I hand-modified my batmobile but I have been recommending your CAG set to people a lot. So glad that you made that, it looks really great!
@@Ibrahim_M We appreciate it.
Definitely your video was among the 1st we saw modifying the canopy.
Then we saw many after that, that we decided to do it for the community so that people don't have to feel funny that their canopy didn't look right compared to the ones owned by folks like yourself.
Especially when many aren't customisers with the skills to perform the scratch building.
@@RAMENTOY That's great, thank you! I believe I was the very first person to modify it online, and I had SO many people ask me if I could make a mold available. As I'm sure you know it's really difficult to make a mold of something this shape as just one person by hand. I'm really thrilled that you made something available for the community to enjoy this toy more, because it was really close to being great. I'll keep sending people your way!
@@Ibrahim_M totally understand.
It would be “more easy” if you had the ingredients and materials and even the set up to make the recast molds.
But even then, it would be quite an endeavour to do.
And the result may not be matching the expectations of what the person you asked you to do it in the 1st place, had in mind.
Because if one was used to buying actual injection molded toys and parts, a recast is a step down as it does not deliver the same quality and feel.
Not that recasts are bad. There are some really good casts for G kits , (Garage Kits) of very intricate sculptures.
So it’s all about managing expectations, and the costs and effort to make something.
@@RAMENTOY EXACTLY, haha. Resin is brittle, air bubbles in a shape like that are a guaranteed problem, etc. And it would have been a full time job to make them, and I already have a full time job 😅
This is fantastic, thanks for sharing
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching 🙌🏼
Amazing stuff ! Mad props ! 👍🏼🦇
Thank you very much!
Man you REALLY knocked this out of the park, fantastic work as always! I, like many others in the comments are completely inspired to make a Batcave diorama now. Thank you for taking the time to put up these tutorials and showing off your incredible work.
Thanks so much, dude! I appreciate the kind words! Yeah, give it a shot! It's time-consuming, but overall not too difficult. MUCH easier than the batmobile mods, haha.
Hahahaha I bet, and you are quite welcome man! I'm just now starting to get all my orders in to start the mods on the Batmobile, then on to the Batcave!
Really nice work! Thanks for sharing
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Wow you’ve definitely got the skills
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
and he does it again! great work!
Ayyy thank you!! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
I love what you’ve done with the 1989 Batmobile customize very nice keep up the good work love watching your videos.
Thanks very much, Richard. Very happy to have you here!
I just finished adding led lights with on board rechargeable battery on the McFarland gold label batwing and Michael keyton looks awesome in the lighted cockpit.
@@richardcamacho904 LET'S GOOOO! I bet that looks so sick!
I absolutely love your videos and give us newbies hope that it's possible what we never thought of or the courage to go for it!!! I’m just starting out with this whole diorama for my action figures and seeing your videos gives me that push to go it… again thank you so much for the time and effort to make these videos !!
I love that, thanks so much, Rakib! It's not too hard once you give it a try, I think you'll enjoy it!
Man dude..scrolling around&.had to click and check it out. Beautiful work!
Thank you, dude! I really appreciate you stopping by- feel free to stick around!
Awesome build.
Thank you!
Brother absolutely lovely work
Thank you so much, man!
“If you’re in Australia, it’s probably a Bunnings warehouse thing” okay that right there just got me to subscribe
Gotta hold it down for my people down under! Thank you, and welcome!
If it’s one thing I’ve learned, no one really cares if it’s accurate or not :D so good job!
Thanks bro! Haha, man I wish! I get so many rude-ass comments about how something is not *exactly* right 😂. Thanks for checking out the video!
Brilliant work!
Thank you!
U did an amazing job on this!
Thank you very much!
I LOVE IT, BEAUTIFUL. Congrats dude! Big hug from Spain!
Thank you so much!
This is an amazing diorama. 😮 Very inspired to do some version on this. 🦇🦇🦇
Thanks so much, dude! That means a lot. It's time consuming but overall not too difficult. I recommend it!
Brother,..this is SO FREAKING, BADASS 😍😍😍
Thank you my brother!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Always fun to watch the ingenuity behind each part and of course the final reveal.. gotta breath to take it all in (*grabs oxygen masks) .
Haha thanks so much, man! As always, your presence here is appreciated!
Awesome talent man
I appreciate that!
Well well, Ibrahim my friend this diorama is absolutely stunning!! I love it, the attention to detail is second to none. I had not even noticed the bat cage in the film lol, and to have show us all how you did it is fantastic. I noticed you might of taken ideas on the vault from the one ive shown...yes/ no? Lol. Just amazing work and so enjoyed watching this. Having my full 1/6 89 bat cave early next year in time for the Jazzinc 89 Batmobile, and now watching this am really looking forward to it. Great video as always bud, and keep them coming!!
Thanks so much, Todd! Wow, I CANNOT wait to see what you end up with! Is that an IC Customs project as well? Now that you mention it, I think your vault was probably a big part of the germ of the idea to build this dio-- I wish I'd realized that at the time of recording, haha. The car was the impetus, but then I had all of the gadgets and I didn't want them to just sit in a closed box. I thought "if I also build the vault, I can display them". I think the reference I found was likely the same stuff that was used to create the file for your 3D printed version. Cheers, my friend!
Very cool, nice work. 👍👍
I really appreciate it!
Really cool ! It turned out amazing.
The lighting inside the vault is a big part of it. If you could somehow get a tiny focused overhead light on the suit, I think it would really sell it.
Those 2 flat black areas between the pillars maybe you should put a matte painting of the far gantries?
If you printed out screen grabs, it might really fill in those spaces .
Thank you! I thought about the light inside, but the lights in my display would wash it out (it does that to my Bale Bat armory that has built in LEDs on a similar shelf ), so I decided it wasn't worth all the effort and time.
The matte painting is a good idea! The fun thing about that is that it kinda harkens back to the way they did it in the movie. There's nothing to screengrab because the only angle we see in the movie is the one I included a screenshot of, and there's no black paint that wouldn't look exactly like the boards already look, (unless I can get that really expensive pure black stuff, which is not worth it for this) haha. But I could use the same color bluish-grey to paint the vertical concrete lines to make it look like they're receding into the distance. It wouldn't take too much time either. I think I might do that when I can squeeze it in!
Damn!!👌😳👍👉♥️🦇dude that is freaking awesome!! You’re da man! That’s probably the best looking diorama I’ve ever seen! Looking forward to seeing more on this one!!👌😎👉♥️🦇👍
Daaang thank you so much for the kind words, my friend! I really appreciate it!
@@Ibrahim_M you’re welcome!👌😎👍
Excellent job! I love it!
Thank you very much!
Man, this turned out awesome! Love all the details! Sorry that people aren't giving you cred. I actually mentioned to @GeekDadLife to check out your customized Batmobile on their live stream the other day. 🙌
I appreciate it, man! And thanks so much for the shoutout! That was really kind and considerate of you🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is like better than the sdcc or toy con display for mezco... mezco could actually hire you to make their dioramas to sell new figures.. imagine the opportunity to work with figures that havent been released yet 😱😱😱😱
Thank you! That's really kind of you to say. Yeah, that would be really cool!
Amazing work 👏 😁
Thank you!
Great work, especially with the Batsuit vault. Unfortunately I don't believe any companies make it as an accessory otherwise I'd buy it.
Thanks very much. Yeah, I know there are some folks out there who 3D print them, but you'd think the companies who have the license to make this stuff would stop leaving money on the table eventually, lol. McFarlane could make it and sell twice as many Batman figures, because everyone would want a spare for the vault.
Sadly Australia's Bunnings doesn't sell craft foam anymore, they only sell cheap crappy insulation foam which does not replace the old one.
Aw that’s a bummer! Hopefully it’s available elsewhere there.
Oh thanks for the ideas you did really help me!
You're welcome! I'm glad! Have fun!!
Always give credit where credit is due, and you sir, deserve it! Your diorama setups look slick, and that work on the McFarlane Batmobile is proper. My son does this with his McFarlane Spawn and Horror movie figures. Although, truthfully they oftentimes get a bit too movie accurate in his setups, lol. Ah, teenagers. Can't say I didn't do something similar. Difference is, figurines from the 90s weren't as visually accurate to whatever they were representing as they are today. So those bloody blades definitely look like they just hacked the Hell out of another figure that's in pieces skewn in front of Jason 😂.
Thanks very much! I really appreciate the kind words. That's so cool that your son is into this stuff; I was much more of a stickler for 100% purity and accuracy when I was younger, too, haha. But yeah, figures are much more believable nowadays, so the feeling of the need for accuracy can be much higher in comparison. Thanks so much for checking out the video!
Awesome work 🤙🏻
Thanks very much!
Really awesome
Thank you!
Brother, amazing work, the level of detail is incredible and the action figures and the batmobile make a spectacular whole. An apology for writing so far, between work and school it is difficult to find time, however you already know that you have my support Bro.
Thank you so much, Cesar! No apologies necessary my friend, I hope all is well with your work and studies 🙌🏼
Have you got a 3D printer? All the batcave stuff is now kn cults 3D the vault, the computers batmobile armour etc etc I'm loving it I'm getting everything here lol
Nice! I don’t- I prefer the challenge of making everything by hand and with found objects. It’s much more fun for me that way 🙌🏼
Very cool I’m actually in the process of making a Batcave diorama for Friend. I’ll post my video when it’s done. It’s a huge job and it’s probably gonna be around 56 inches in diameter.
Thanks! Wow, that’s gonna be huge! Is it an 89 cave or more of a comic version?
@@Ibrahim_M it’s going to be like an 89 Batmobile cave would be with artistic freedom
@@jameshopkins5702 nice!
This is awesome. I was gonna ask you about your fig recipe for the Bruce Wayne but you state it in the vid. Very good work my dude.
Thanks! Haha yeah, I knew people would want to know so I had to break it down. And that way I don't have to type it over and over again in the replies 😂 Thanks for checking out the video!
Great work
Thank you!
This is so awesome.
Thank you!
he had white sneakers while wearing that turtleneck, I use that batcave playset for everything too, looks fantastic!
is anyone selling a 3d printed screen accurate canopy yet for that batmobile I have seen any and you'd think the 3d printers on etsy would be working overtime for that by now!
Ah, thank you! I've not been able to find a pic with his shoes ANYWHERE. Do you recall where you saw it? Yeah, I'm surprised-- there were two different people who messaged me showing that they were making one, but I haven't heard anything more from them about it.
Outstanding sir!
Thank you, Trey!
@Ibrahim_M your welcome sir. Thank for sharing your diorama. That came very nice sir.
@@treygreene654 Thank you!
great work, you inspire me for what i will do when i will recive my hot toys version, thanks alot
That means a lot, thank you, man!
I hope they make(the batcave) a real one for 7 inch scale?🤔(Mcfarlane Style!)🤨
Lol this one is also real. Do you mean official? If they do, it'll be too small. I love a lot of what McFarlane makes, but unfortunately it's always too small for their own figures. This BAtmobile was too small (it's 6" scale, not 7"), their 66 Batmobile was too small, the cave and Manor set were too small... I don't know why they don't just scale their stuff up and charge $10-$15 more, people would pay it and thank them for the privilege.
