Dark Hunter
Sculpt By
Martin Canale
 
 
Kit Name:  Batman - Dark Hunter Scale:  Unknown / 9 " tall
Manufacturer:  Gore Group Date Built:  February 2004
 
This is the Gore Group Batman "Dark Hunter" sculpted by Martin Canale and seems to be based on the comic book artwork of Simon Bisely....  Although I never got the chance to ask Martin if this was the case or not, at any rate it still looks like Bisely's Batman artwork.

The kit is one solid piece of resin and stands about 9" tall.   The casting is very clean with no seams, pinholes or air bubbles, it came pre-primed and ready to paint..  It's a really beautifully done sculpt and really paints up beautifully....  I decided to go with a sort of traditional color scheme for the costume, lots of blues and grays and custom mix of brown and yellow to get the desired color I wanted for the utility belt.

This is a kit that I had been trying to track down for a while. Then in 2003 Martin decided to re-release it for a limited run through his company "Gore Group" and thanks to my very good friend "Norm - Kitman- Piatt" and Martin I was finally able to get my hands on one.
