Bat boat

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

Bat boat

Post by kpnuts »

HI all I've been building this a while, it is actually the revell 1/72 Flower class corvette but I decided to do a 60s bat boat complete with lasers
This has been building a long time so will put some earlier pics too

Intriguing.

I'm going to enjoy seeing where this build goes.

My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Hi all here is the next update, almost done now I thought I would put the bat tank with it just to make it less boring.

Hi all as I said before attempting to get some models finished so I can devote all my attention to the ducati. This is nearly finished now (just the rigging to go) I've decided not to put the other lifeboats on (may even remove the ones on there and add something else) I've also decided not to paint the railings to add a bit more interest, if I change my mind they will be red, anyway here are pics of where I am now.

My next one to finish will be the Thermopylae.

Hi all well it's finally done being completely honest I think it's ended up looking very boring, I think I should have picked a different super hero, like the incredibles or maybe the fantastic 4 I would have weathered it with differing shades of black for the different panels as someone did suggest but I don't think I've ever seen a bat vehicle that wasn't perfectly matt black or perfectly gloss black. Anyway here it is, at sometime in the future maybe I will revamp in another colour scheme.

Incredible! I'd never have the imagination to build something like that!

A tribute build, in memory of Adam West?
