I just thought I would share with everyone here what a little creativity and spare time can do for you. Rather than spend about $50 on a present for a family member I spent $5 and a few hours, but gained quadruple the amount of meaning and sentimental value. The instructions on how I made this, and how you can also, are here: http://vilegaming.com/forums.x/topics/13301 (I'm still working on typing out the rest of it, but in a few minutes it should be complete.) Expect to see some StarCraft stuff in a few weeks when I find some extra time.
Thats impressive. I bet he loved it, I'm not even that in to batman and I want one, so he must have flipped. Much kudos to you.
