It was a hot day so I left it in a shady spot to air dry. I forgot about it and left it outside for 1 night and already this morning... All Bat-Pod Blog pictures are here: https://imgur.com/a/4a7rF

Thanks for looking in

Nice! Did you drill holes into the inner upright square stock for adjustable height too? Thanks for the tip

Thanks for the support and motivation, Sixx ! started prime and paint. The handle bar sub assembly is on a separate block All blog pictures are here: https://imgur.com/a/4a7rF

Tight! Awesome job and thanks for sharing the WIP shots. It shows how much scratch building work you did to complete this project

Thanks for the comment, David. True that the details added are required to replicate the 1/1 prototype but are not necessary for a fun build. The kit on it's own is pretty well molded and designed and looks good out of the box. I just tend to get caught up in the details and sometimes go over board

Gnarly looking machine!

Very well done Dominik.

That's a nice looking kit... your work is good too I see this kit or another similar Tamiya Japanese SUV kit on the shelf at my LHS. Like most Tamiya models that have great box art, I can't see any sprue shots on the box so I was never sure about it. Now seeing yours, I might have to pick it up on the next trip

well done, Michael. I think I have this kit somewhere...

whoa, very trippy

Interesting kit. I'm going to watch this build. Please show sprue shots and kit contents and you build progress as you go along. If this is possible

Thanks Sixx !

All blog pictures are here: https://imgur.com/a/4a7rF The hand grips and control details required a lot of web searching for the prototype in 1/1. It's tiny up there I know and I've seen some builds with cables running from the stock kit box parts and they look fine. But, I couldn't let this go. I had to try and replicate this to some degree of accuracy because I admire the design of this vehicle so I wanted to make something cool with mine This sensor thing is not included in the kit so I made one with styrene and stretched sprue The drilling and most of the work was done before mounting them to the handle bars The Hand Grips should be glued to the Handle Bars in a position looking more like the front box art image instead of how the I-sheets indicate. The "brake" and "clutch" levers should point slightly inward and the whole grip part pointed slightly downward. This will conflict with the shape of the casted parts and their joining points. This may be the reason why Moebius didn't include a Riding figure because the loose design of the fitting of the; Foot Rests, Knee Rests, Seat, Elbow Pads, Handle Bars, and Hand Grips. Or maybe the figure is what a lot of model builders with this kit was waiting for before they start their Bat-Pod to fit the Rider in properly This is what I came up with using various wire, solder, stretched sprue, and reference from the internets... notice the thumb control buttons included another I-Sheet error alert: When installing the Arm Guard parts (4) and (5), follow the text instructions which are correct and not the illustrated picture. The picture above clarifies this All blog pictures are here: https://imgur.com/a/4a7rF

All blog pictures are here: https://imgur.com/a/4a7rF This is the part I'm trying to replicate. These parts are not included in the kit next: Hand grip controls and the plumbing and area All blog pictures are here: https://imgur.com/a/4a7rF thanks for looking . . .

Don't go for texture in this scale and on the body. Your rust colors are good and realistic so try the hair spray method

All blog pictures are here: https://imgur.com/a/4a7rF Found this in my spares parts box. I don't remember what military kit this was from but it's 1/76 - 1/72 This replicates something close to what the prototype CO2 plumbing looks like. This part is glued to the CO2 Cartridges parts but not to the Munitions Cluster so they can be removed as a separate subassembly for painting All blog pictures are here: https://imgur.com/a/4a7rF

Nice paint on this! The leather harness looks real

Outrageous! 8)

I like it! Total scratch build or is this a kit that I missed?

Still looks good after all those years. 1/35 or 1/25 ? Tamiya ?

Super interesting project

Nice

Thank you

Love it! Is the board scratch built? Is the Trandem and trailer scratch built? I also see a social statement as well
