It's The Cat's Meow!

 

 

This Catwoman look first appeared in Batman # 210 (1969) and was designed Frank Robbins and the Catwoman during Selinas  admittedly infrequent early to mid 1970's appearances, after which DC returned to the classic purple evening dress in Batman # 266.

So this costume has been pretty much ignored by the toy companies except for a Mego in 1974.

So presenting my first Catwoman Barbie custom!!

She was created using mostly Games Workshop products. The paints are by citadel and the blue for her legs was mixed to create the correct shade.

Her mask, collar and claws were created using the two part epoxy Green Stuff.

To add some definition to the bodice and gloves I used a high sheen gloss by Windsor and Newton which could be painted over the top of the paint and layered to create the desired effect.

The boots, buckles and glove detail were made from milliput two part epoxy.

The stand is a classic Barbie stand painted black and the cats are by Schleich and again painted black and stuck onto the base with super glue.

Her tail was a little problematic as I needed to keep it in a position where the epoxy wouldn't drop; yet enough pressure against the body to stick.

But I got it to work.

Creating a fine start to my Catwoman custom collection, the question is now...

Which one should I make next?
