"Your punishment must be more...severe." -Bane

With The Dark Knight Rises just around the corner I couldn't resist taking a crack at the main villain of the film. Played by Tom Hardy, Bane is one of Batman's deadliest foes. He is as much a physical threat as he is a psychological one. I have no doubts that that is exactly what Chris Nolan will deliver come this July.

Bane started as a Miles Quaritch figure, an idea borrowed from Chester 001 and Matthancock. I just went to town on the sculpting, all done in Aves Fixit and some pieces of plastic. The head was a Conan head (I liked the anger in his face and his eyes), heavily retooled and sculpted. I used Model Masters Acrylics and there you go, Bane.

Head: ML Conan and Fixit
Body: MM Miles Quaritch
