Excellent work so far! David G.

Beautiful paintwork! Everything else looks great too. David G.

Looks great so far. It looks like that trunk lid correction is going to be a challenge. David G.

Very convincing rust technique. What was your process? David G.

That came out really nice. Excellent interior detailing. David G.

As is my tradition, here is a shot of the Batmobile in my display case. I call this shelf the "Bat Cave". Thanks again, David G.

It has become a tradition of mine that once I complete a model, if possible, I take a photo of it in my display case. I actually completed this model before I had my display case but it has spent some time in there, so here we go. Regards, David G.

Thanks Snake, I'm glad you like it. Thanks Chris. Thank you David. You're right about the swing axles but once the body is on, it's not too big a deal. Thank you Pat. Seven? Wow! I think I remember one or two of them. Thanks to all. David G.

Wow! That's an impressive collection. It's going to take me a while to get through it, thanks for the link. David G.

Impressive! Many times it's the smallest details that make the biggest difference. David G.

Excellent paintwork on that, love the fade. Those forks make me nervous though, they look rather fragile. David G.

Neat little shop truck. David G.

I really had no idea that there were so many Batmobiles out there. I'll have to do some serious searching to see what I can find. David G.

Thank you Lee. Thank you Alan, I'm glad you like it. Thanks Rich. It's a fun kit, and a fairly easy build which lends itself to a number of custom and detailing options. You should give it a go. Thanks Jim. Thank you Hector. Thanks Bob. Thank you Craig. Thanks David. Thank you Doug. I haven't seen one of these on the road in years. Occasionally I see a sand rail, but no Manx style buggies. Thanks Josh, that's the exact feel I was going for. Thank you Keith. It is a kit that offers a generous number of building options. I have one more of these in my stash which I'm thinking about building as a competition sand racer. Thank you all for your comments, they mean a lot to me. David G.

I actually built this in 2012 and for some reason, never posted it here on the MCM forum. I think I just didn't like the way the photos turned out. They were pretty bad, but I recently purchased a newer version of Corel PaintShop and was able to fix them up quite nicely. So, after a rather lengthy delay here the photos of my AMT Meyers Manx. The old 36 HP Doghouse with some added detail. Some chassis detail. The flower decals are from the Revell VW Bus kit. Instead of the plastic nerf bars provided by the kit, I fashioned a set out of paperclips. I eventually added a license plate... and removed the water spot on the rear window. I made a wooden deck to go in the area where the "rear seat" was supposed to be. I remember seeing one like this long ago. Dash detail... and some pretty blue shock absorbers. I think they came from K-Mart. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Thank you Bob. Way back in the days of our youth, my wife had a '71 Bus in just about the same shade of blue. We weren't too worried about the lack of AC back then but man that thing was slow. I used to tease her with phrases like: "The car that goes from 0 to 60 5.6 hours." "If you ever need to time this thing, forget the stopwatch, bring a calendar." "Now I know why all the Hippies had long hair and beards. Because it took them so long to go anywhere in their VW Busses that they needed a shave and haircut when they got there." Regards, David G.

Thank you all for your input, I gained quite a bit of knowledge from the responses I received. It seems to me that this issue was most likely a combination of some crazing of the plastic and me applying too thick of a coat with some possible interaction with the Novus polish. I've decided that rather than risk any more issues, I'm just going to repair the finish on the nose clip as best I can and proceed with final assembly. Thanks again, David G.

Excellent interior detailing. 1966 Batman looks like he's jealous of 1990's Batman talking with Cat Woman. Dang! I thought I had a lot of Batmobiles... that's pretty much all of them. Though they are all great, there are two in particular that catch my eye, Detective Comics #377 (1968) and the one from the Animated Series. Were these built from kits or bought as collectibles? A very impressive collection, thanks for posting it. David G.

Sweet rig! Everything looks great. David G.

I love these old historic builds, nicely done! David G.

Nice work on this one. David G.

Phoenix. The world's most unsustainable city- a monument to Man's arrogance.

Thank you Bob. David G.

That's just too cool! I love all the little detail touches. And the figures look better than the more recent version. David G.

Thank you Mike. While I agree that black cars do look cool, where I live here in Phoenix, they're hot. Waaaayy too hot. Here in the Desert Southwest, people tend toward lighter colors for their cars with the most common colors being white and silver. Regards, David G.
