Back around Christmas of 2003, my buddy Tommy (aka Therewasme) had asked me for advice on how to make a DC Direct-scaled Batcave. I was able to pick up various parts for him and in the process it got me thinking that although I had made a Robin Memorial for my Frank Miller customs, perhaps it was now time to make a standard DC Direct version as well.
The Jason Todd Robin Memorial project is fairly straightforward. I began by removing the limbs off of a DC Direct Silver Age Robin figure. To help simulated the “floating costume” aspect, I used a Dremel to remove most of the material from the inside of the sleeves and trunks. I then used Magic Sculpt to smooth over the rough texture left inside as well as the lines from the previous hip joints. The upper half of Robin’s cape worked fine, but I found a cape from the DC Direct Superwoman worked better for the lower half. It had that perfect ‘hanging’ effect as well as being the appropriate length for the character. The boots were made from Magic Sculpt and the mask was simply cut vinyl.
The costume housing is clear acrylic tubing I found at a plastics shop in Chinatown. The tube was actually too long, so I trimmed it down to size with my Dremel saw tool. The base and roof were additional pieces of acrylic that I painted. I tried to illustrate it in the photos, but basically the costume is supported from a clear plastic rod inserted through the rear of the tube. From the front it really gives the appearance that the costume is floating.
Anyway, there you have it. I’m really happy with how the Robin Memorial turned out and while it isn’t technically an “action figure,” it does set a great somber mood for your Batman shelf.

This project provides a nice backdrop and gives your Batcave a little more color.
Note: As with any ICP download, these files are not to be resold under any conditions.
First, download and print the image, printing it twice if you want the image on both sides of the card. The files are fairly large, so be patient as they might take awhile to download.
Carefully use an X-Acto knife to trim the images from the surrounding paper. The final image size should be 4 3/4 x 7 3/4.
Spray mount one side of the card to oversized Black-Core illustration board. This will provide a nice, crisp black edge along the side of the card, as well as supply the materials to make the base support.
Once the card is mounted, trim to fit along the top and sides, leaving an additional 1 7/8″ of extra space at the bottom! This is VERY important, as it will be inserted into the base support. Next you should mount the backside of the card.
The base gets a little tricky, but just keep referring to that photo. You basically make a box out of the Black-core illustration board to form the base for the card.
The dimensions of the base are:
5 1/2″ Wide X 2″ tall X 1 3/4″ deep. I cut a 1/8 slit in the middle to slide the card into.
If you do end up using these files for any of your projects, be sure to drop me a line. I’d love to see how it turned out.

Personally, I’ve always wondered why Bats needs a 20-foot computer in the cave, but I suppose if you’re going to dress up as a giant bat then logic just flies out the window. Anyway, this project is a little tricky. I have created instructions specifically to help you in building your own Batcomputer. Hopefully between the reference photos and the instructions, you will be able to create your own version without too many problems.
Note: As with any ICP download, these files are not to be resold under any conditions.
The instructions have accurate measurements based upon my own design, but the image itself is not drawn to scale. It is meant merely as a guide. What you will want to do is:
1. Download and print out both the images and the instructions.
2. Spray mount the images to a piece of black-core illustration board. You can find these items at any arts and crafts store.
3. Trim to fit.
4. Construct the Batcomputer based on the instruction sheet. Once this is completed, attach the images to the computer.
Hopefully this will work out for you. I know it sounds confusing, but if you just keep patient with it, you’ll have a nice, large prop to add to your Batcave.
