Batman Beyond custom
The most important part, the helmet, is a complete helmet, so practically, I can pull it on top of his normal head, (the one I used in my photo) not the standard head with the white stripe, that all the Batman minifigs have. I did a lot of sanding, I added eyes and it was quite difficult to cut 2 identical pieces that small, and in that certain eye shape of white rubber that I was looking for. The gap that the mask had, to add the mouth, was filled with a very small piece of black plastic and in the middle, I made another very small hole by melting the plastic with a very thin piece of wire kept on fire, because I didn't have any tool that small. The mouth itself is made from the white plastic of cotton swabs.
The belt was made from a classic Batman yellow belt, again the same process melting the plastic it with a very thin piece of wire kept on fire and adding the stuff I need it to make it look like the original belt but in a smaller scale. At the end I painted the belt and the wings.
This in my take on a character, trying to keep it close to the original, but adding things to make it more personal and unique.
I hope you like it.
Stay tuned, more will come :)
All the best!
