Cesar Romero as--The Joker! "1966 BATMAN" Fan-Made Model Kit! POW!

ZAP! It's Cesar Romero as the JOKER! Here's the 1966 version of this classic Batman foe, as seen on the fantastic and far-famed TV series! This fan-made resin "garage kit" was painted up in acrylics and enamels! Click images below to enlarge!

Note the manic pose and attitude! The talented sculptor (Johnny Stacks) really
captured Romero's facial features well, even his "painted over" mustache!

Most of the pants stripes were applied with markers, and a light gloss 
was applied over the shoes, hair, parts of the face, eyes, teeth and lips.

Note that the suit actually has very few colors: two tones of magenta, with 
green and black! The facial details also involved some marker, colored 
pencils, and dry washes.

Rare Catwoman Fan-Made Model Kit! Julie Newmar! 1966 BATMAN Beauty!

ZAP! Here's Julie Newmar as the curvaceous Catwoman, direct from the 1966 BATMAN TV series! This 90s fan-made resin kit was painted up by me, using acrylics and enamels! Click below to enlarge pics! Click here to see other great BATMAN '66 kits!

The "sparkle" effect on her body suit was achieved using kid's "glitter gel!" 
Her hair is a dark brown coat, with a lighter gloss brown coat dry-brushed on! 




I added gloss overcoats to her mask and suit, as well as her eyes...

Adam West! TV BATMAN Fan-Made Custom Model Kit! DC Comics!

ZAP! It's Adam West as BATMAN! This big (around 12 inches tall) fan-made "garage kit" is all hard solid resin, and has all the details, including an uncanny likeness to Bat-actor Adam West! I painted it using acrylics, with added touches from inking pens and markers! Here is the 1966 TV BATMAN ready for action! Click images to enlarge!



 Note the use of high-gloss paint (cape, boots, etc) against the flat matte paint (leotard, flesh)!



Some dry-brushing of acrylics was applied to cheeks and other areas of the face...Kudos to the sculptor, as the face, likeness, details, and anatomy are spot-on! Click here to see another terrific (and more famous) Batman model kit!
