  1. Nice work on the spreader bar, it does make a big difference visually. The engine is coming along nicely too. David G.
  2. I'm sorry to learn of your loss Darren, I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you. May you find peace and comfort in the days ahead. Still, awesome work on the Bug! It's a pleasure to see. thanks for posting it. David G.
  3. Hello Everybody! Here is the DC Comics 1960's Batmobile by Polar Lights. This car is based on the Lincoln Futura Batmobile from the TV series in the Sixties which was designed by George Barris. In addition to the detailed scale model, figures for both Batman and Robin are included. The kit directions call for the body to be painted gloss black but I chose Tamiya TS-53 Deep Metallic Blue. I think black would have been a little too intense. In comic books black is usually represented in shades of dark blue. The model in box illustration also appears to be dark blue. That's probably what set the image in my mind's eye. This car has a great profile and yes, those are valve stems on the wheels. Courtesy of Polar Lights. That's all for now. These photos are the best of about fifty that I took for the session. I want to play around with my camera settings a little more to see if I can obtain some better images. As always, thanks for taking a look and please feel free to comment. David G.
  4. Nice rescue! David G.
  5. Hello Everybody! This one is completed. As soon as I get some photos, I'll post them in the Under Glass section. In the meantime, here is a test-fit photo that really captures the color. As always, thanks to everyone for their comments and encouragements. I always enjoy the feedback. David G.
  6. Thank you Pierre. Ironically, I think that black would have been too much, in some ways the blue seems more subtle. David G.

  23. Hello Everybody! The figures are finished. Though now that I see the photos, I notice some things that could do with just a little more attention. But for now, they're done. The Dynamic Duo is ready for a night of crime fighting! Unfortunately, the car is still in the shop. I should have this one done soon. As always, thanks for taking a look and please feel free to post a comment or two. David G.
