Plugging along some more on the Bat Pickup...

[Futurabat]

Keep it up Chuck! I like this one. (HaHa! He said up Chuck!)

[zenrat]

As Batman is an ex-pat Aussie (come on- BRUCE Wayne? ) then the existence of a Batute is a given. in the back? Batdog and Batdirtbike.

Good work Chuck. Giving it a tow bar so he can tow the Batjetski to Gotham Beach?

Dual Bat Build in 1:32 has had some progress, but I haven't go to them in about a month! anyways...here's a few pictures, the rest are in the Photobucket album...HERE.
Batman and Robin...times 2!

Mocked up in flat black

Shiny

Dual shiny!

Mock up with canopies

Enjoy...comments welcome!
Next is to detail paint the dashboards then to paint the red stripes on the body.

[Futurabat]

Your going to paint the stripes rather than use the decals?

[Tony T]

I may try the decals first on one...but I may just go ahead and paint them on the two cars! We'll see...

[Futurabat]

I was just wondering. Early issues of the kit had problems with the decal until we added a second carrier coat. Later issue should be fine. If you want, try a small decal first and if it gives you trouble go to paint. Just if you decide to do the decals.

Nice work by the way.

Wow there are some great Batmobiles here, and some, um, rather interesting concepts! They are all good! Well I was directed here after posting pics of my '89 in another thread. I will post some more pics of it here to keep it all in the family.







And a few more-

A clean build and a sweet lighting job. Love the exhaust!

Thanks...Not sure how mine or my friend's kits fit into the reissue production. I just wasn't sure how the decals would look as they would not be right on the edge, but beside it?

[Futurabat]

You know Tony, I had forgotten about the fact the stripes don't go where they really should. never mind.

[Tony T]

Yeah, I know what you mean...all these '66 Batmobiles start to look the same...

[Michigan Madman]

Not giving up on the Bat Pickup, but I did get another idea for a Bat-inspired car that isn't part of the Batman 'cannon'. When/if that one gets off the ground, you'll see it here first.

[robiwon]

Well I figure I would throw these up here. This is the standard snapper. I replaced the plastic exhaust pipes on the deck lid with aluminum tubing cut to size. I also replaced the whip antenna. Other than Bare metal foil it's an out of the box build.

[Futurabat]

Well done. Clean foil job as well. Welcome to the thread.

[robiwon]

Thanks Futurabat, but I have already visited the thread with my '89 above.

One of my favorite Batmobile pics.

[Futurabat]

Thanks Futurabat, but I have already visited the thread with my '89 above.

I couldn't remember if i'd welcomed you and was too lazy to backtrack.

[robiwon]

That's O.K.! You guys have made this new member feel very welcome already.

[Tony T]

Nice pair of builds, Robert! Welcome!

[Michigan Madman]

Nice!
I've been toying with the idea of using a snap kit body on the glue kit chassis, just so I don't need to worry with a flawless black paint job.
