Congrats! I really like the suit...the lines, contrasting textured areas, gray color, and overall design. The base looks good up close...can really see the wood texture and the nice paint job on the rusty metal framework. The portraits are also very good.

It’s a Besta unit from IKEA.

Yes, it’s a very impressive piece. I love the suits tactical look!

Batgirl cape positioning

Arranging the cape is tricky. I believe we are supposed to place the cape into the 2 slots on the right and left slots for her collar and press the remaining cape towards the back. Sadly the head doesn't fit in as tight as I would like but it's in there. Please see the attached pics.

Yes, it seems like I had to bend the wires radiating from the neck end of the cape down at a 90 degree angle and slid the 2 outside wires into those slots (at least I got them close). Then I used my finger to press the wires in between against the back of the neck hole to conform them to its curved shape. Took a few attempts of conforming and trying to insert the head, but I was able to get it where I was comfortable with how the head sat. Not sure if that was the best design choice for the cape attachment...

I’ll do that after work today. I had a feeling I had the cape seated wrong when I assembled her last night.
