Batman's Batboat***Whacked***

[Molly-new]

My second build is going to be the Polar Lights version of Batman's Batboat from the 1966 film Batman.

Looking forward to seeing your results.

I have a very vague recollection of seeing the film!

Saw the real one of these at KnightCon @ Doncaster Racecourse earlier this year.

Now that PB is behaving and allowing me to upload photos I can post some progress.

Here are the boat parts:



and the parts for Batman and Robin, the chrome parts and the decals:



Instructions are well laid out:

After a couple of hours the boat and stand are complete:



The fit is quite tight throughout and it would be easy to build it without glue.

Next step is to construct the figures.

Batboat and Bike from Knightcon earlier this year. Gives an idea of size,

[Molly-new]

Great picture, I have the bike and sidecar combo to do at some point.

I managed to get a coat of primer on before the New Year festivities began, and also started to paint up the figures.

That's scary, he gets the primer & stuff on before the festivities then doesn't show for 3 days

[Molly-new]

If you are going to welcome in the New Year you may as well do it in style.

Feel like I am neglecting this one a bit.

I have been working on it though, here are the figures ready for fitting in the boat:



I have also put numerous coats of white onto the sides of the hull (I hate white), followed by a coat of klear so it is now ready for masking and painting the Dark Blue.

Holy bow waves Chip, this is a dynamic build

I can see an error in the Batman figure.

Adam West was never THAT ripped when he played Batman!

Adam West was never THAT ripped when he played Batman!

Trick of the light and camera angles I think.

As mentioned, white paint on:

Blue paint on the bottom



Although it does not look like it I remembered to mask up the white side panels.
