Man I painted a few of my scrap bats just like that like a month ago.
They are not pro or anything like that, I was just killing some boredom by putting some scrap parts to use.
I swear my Idea was practically the same thing. I'd love to post the picture and show ya but I tried last month and could not figure it out so I just gave up. If anyone feels like explaining the picture posting part of this site it would be greatly appreciated.

You need to host your picture in a Picasa / Photobucket / Flickrr / ... album. Then, copy the URL of your picture. Use this button (http://www.joecanuck.com/jc/Themes/core/images/bbc/img.gif) and paste your link. The process is almost the same in all boards.

Just want to add some to Martin's explanation:
Before posting, make sure that your picture is already uploaded on another site like the ones that Martin has mentionned.
Second, when creating a new post on the boards, click on "insert image" in the menu ( it shows up on your screen as an Icon as Martin already showed it to you: (http://www.joecanuck.com/jc/Themes/core/images/bbc/img.gif)).
After clicking, the following will appear in the text box: [ img ][ /img ].
Copy paste the URL in it as follows:
[ img ] paste the URL of picture here [ /img ]
You should be able to view the picture when you preview your post. Works everytime for me.
-
if you use photobucket, once your pic is uploaded onto there, go to your album where it's uploaded, mouse over the picture and a set of options appears underneath the picture and if you click into the bottom one PB automatically copies the [img] tags and the URL and then you simply right-click and select paste in the post box and it drops in the code for you.

What do you think? They arent finished yet but it only Took me like 30 mins each guy. Im planning on figuring something out for their blank chest but I dunno what to do any ideas ?
-
I would say "I'd like us to observe a minute of silence for that C.o.r.p.s.e", but I can't stop laughing at it! Call me cruel. That's a great idea for reusing Bats that no longer have chest stickers. I prefer your solution than buying repro chest stickers to restore classic BATS. It looks unique and It can be very affordable to make a ton of these. You should re-post it in the customs section though.

Just buy the stickers and back packs off the Black major:

The stickers are not exactly the same as the original but they are then next best thing I've personally seen. I have 15 of his knock off BATS.

I can hook you with one... for less than eBay price ;)
We will meet at the CJC...

Black major says he won't ship to canada. I would've been interested in the repro stickers/backpack/attachments.
-
black major ships to canada... ive ordered from him many times.
-
I pm'd him on ebay and he said sorry he doesn't ship internationally (to Canada).
If anyone knows him enough to buy, LMK as I'd love you to pick me up some things.

I was planning getting few backpacks myself... but I have no need for the repro stickers. It looks like you will become my partner ;)
-
if anyone has a couple of the stickers going begging, LMK, i could do with two.

I got my BATS today (and the one for Joss789 in the same time :D ). I'm very happy!!
They look as great as the previous one. I would even say that the joints are tighter. Shipping was fast and affordable (yes, even to Canada). Packaging was made super carefully (Note to Chris: Box could have been half smaller. But thanks for taking extra care!). No backpack peg are broken (so far). The only strange thing I had is some sort of "water" inside few plastic bags with a weird smell. Anyway, the figs are now drying and the smell is almost gone by now. I love the accessories and the chest plate. The Red highlight is a very good idea.
Thanks Chris!!

I got my BAT today. Very nice paint except for the bald spots on the back of the elbows and both elbows are very loose. They are bootlegs so I expect some flaws. All in all I'm very happy with the one I bought.
Also, anyone needing BATS Hologram replacements, this seller has more in stock:

I'm still waiting for my order to arrive so I can't give input on the quality.
