This is a piece of set dressing that appeared in numerous places throughout Batman Returns.

This was a nice little quick and dirty prop. I didn't really go all out on it, because I figured
it was better to have a decent looking prop that is finished, than a great looking prop that will
never be finished.
The resin piece needed very little clean up. Just a little sanding around the back, and a few of
the cogs. I picked a few bubble out from around the bar that the dude is holding in the crest, but
that's about it.
I hit it with a couple of coats of my trusty Plasti-Kote automotive primer, then went straight in
with a few coats of Rustoleum Antique Brass. It's a really nice paint that dries very smooth
to the touch.
That's it! I was thinking of doing some dark washes on it to give it a little more texture, and a
bit of a worn down feel to it, but I figured I'd probably either muck it up, or never finish it
properly. Either way, I think it looks pretty decent for what it is. It's not really a prop, just
a piece of set dressing, so I didn't really want to go nuts with it.
