I had a blast making this:



If you can find it, I highly recommend it!

I love the interior colour and the photo quality!!!

30 or so.

Well, a Japanese contact came through and tonight I am holding the BATMAN BEGINS tumbler kit. It is amazing-- 73 1/35 scale pieces. I also found a web page that translated Japanese colour words to English. The Tumbler base colour is 80% Midnight Blue, 15% Blue, 5% White. Wow, that's a surprise to me...

Thank you. I suspected as much after I was unable to locate any images or product notices.

A shame, it would have completed the collection to date.

I've been away for some time, but have a huge favor to ask:

1) Has anyone translated the Bandai paint codes for the 1/35 Keaton and Kilmer Batmobile models?

I am still looking for the Clooney 1/35 kit.

Thanks very much!

I'm a sucker for Green Arrow. He's such a Mort, literally; designed by DC's uber-mench Mort Weisinger as a guy who has trick arrows, a side kick, an arrow-plane (the original name of the car with retractible wings), an arrow-cave... you get the idea: Mort Weisinger was not an "idea man". B...

Robb-

I am very interested in the Movie Serial Batman and Robin kits. Let us know how things progress!

Hey there! One tip I can give you is to purchase a "scriber", a long metal file that ends in an incredibly sharp claw. You slowly trace a line on the model where you want a groove to go and it removes a sliver of plastic or resin with each tracing. I bought mine from the metal foil people....

Happy New Year! With the interior finished, I was ready to hit the last details: BMF key locks, the twin armed wiper, and a PORSCHE crest. The key locks were very easy, thanks to a circle guide. Then I went looking for my windshield wipers... ...and couldn't find them. Somewhere, in this big, new ho...

Mike, You did a great job! The face looks great. You selected a second color for the utility belt. Any reasons behind the choice? Looking at your build makes me regret getting the fabric cape version of the Keaton model. I have an unbuilt Joker in the vault. Someday I'll get brave enough to do figur...

A very busy week, with an earlier-than-usual report! I put in my YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE and started to assemble all of the internal components of the build. I sliced up a bunch of aluminum tubes for the various arms and jacks used for the turbines. Lots of crazy glue and careful repositioning of the ja...

After last week's tedium, I treated myself to a CASINO ROYALE viewing and plugged myself back in to the garage (Man, I want that 2007 Mondeo he drove to the Casino). This week was very busy, with a lot of emphasis on the turbines. Again, going to the schematic, there is a connecting yoke that attach...

Mark M, you are an official Honorary Howler! Thanks for your support, True Believer!

=groan= I have cut...128... 4mm x 3mm pieces of styrene... ...and have crazy glued...them...my fingers...and my tweezers... onto = grunt= 4 2.5cm styrene tubes... http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Daikins/Agent%20of%20SHIELD/IMG_3169.jpg The pipe cutter from micro-mark arrived late last week and ...

This week's objective was to fill in the large blank space in the rear of the car. The schematic is sketchy on the details, so I just decided to improvise the internal stuff, meeting up with the schematic details of the turbine and turbine support struts. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Daikins...
