A few months ago Bert picked up a life-sized resin cast of Michael Keaton in his 1989 Batman costume on eBay. The cast was really rough so Bert asked Tim if he could clean it up so that he could paint it. Bert’s plan was to spray paint the cast bronze so that it would look like a metal statue. Well, apparently that wasn’t good enough for Tim and Sean, so this Christmas they surprised Bert with the bust not only cleaned up but also fully painted AND they bought a mannequin body and cut it down so that the bust would have a stable base to sit on AND ALSO bought material and added a cape to the bust too.
The Batman bust is super-cool, life-like and a bit scary but in a good ,”I hope it keeps the burglars away” kind’a way!
