Nate Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Link to the On the Workbench thread. Here are the photos of our completed build. It won the "Black and Orange" mini-contest out our MCMA meeting on Sunday. Thanks to evilbenny for giving us the kit. Here's the Caped Crusader at the meeting:
rsxse240 Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) That's awesome! I recall when my boy entered his first contest. He didn't get an award, so he never wanted to build another . Edited November 5, 2014 by rsxse240
dimaxion Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 A most excellent build . I remember the days in '54-'56 on the Dining Room Table with our Father as we were guided on a Model Kit build .. #1 , wowser . This kit was quite a Huggy Bear to build as it is the only one of the Batmobiles I've actually finished from an Injection Styrene Kit . Tell the Lad ; "Good Work and keep the good work up" , please from me .. Thanx ..
Intmd8r Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Love the story behind the build. Nice job too. My first build was the Revell Black Rat vette. I had glue fingerprints all over the body and glass. Who knew it would be a hobby of mine 20+ years later. I'm looking forward to the day when I can share a build with my son too (he just learned to walk last week ) BTW - this is the BEST Batmobile IMO!
slusher Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Fine build and very touching to see father and son working together...
thatz4u Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Holy Talented young Modeler, Batman!!! said Robin.
Silver Foxx Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Looks great , doing this with your son is quality time , well done , nice to see this .
Maxicoop Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 All I can say is WOW !!! and tell your son welcome to modeling and you should ask him if he has any tips for us old timers !!!!! fantastic build !!!
OldTimer50707 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Great seeing father and son working on a project like this. Great job.
Pizzwizz24 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Great job!! Spending quality time doing high quality modeling. Well deserved. Congratulations on a fine build and the award.
afx Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Nice to see the tires put to good use. Great job.
mikemopar70 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Great father and son project, it turned out great!!
unclescott58 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Very nice job. Both the kit build and working with your son. I especially like the last photo. Scott
mrm Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 This is really awesome. Some people ask where the hobby is going and that there is no new blood in it. Well, it is up to us to pass it on to the next generation builders. I do same thing with my kids and love it when I see another parent taking the time to build a model with their kid. And I would also like to congratulate the little Batman for a job well done. That's one good looking Batmobile.
Nate Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Thanks for all the kind words everyone. He's already started to think about the next build. His 7 yr old older brother is also. His next one will be more independent. Hopefully we can do a snap together or something so he can handle it all on his own. That is, if I can resist "helping", LOL. Edited November 7, 2014 by Nate
