Works just fine. Been using it for decades and never had a problem.

old parts should be in there as well. Pretty safe to say
we are all a little sentimental at heart even if we all
have iphones.

If I may throw my two cents in here about the current poll…I would like to see a nice figure kit of Tom Baker as Doctor Who. Maybe with a nice real knit scarf! After that I would have to vote for a David Tennant Who. I think either of those (not to slight the other doctors) would sell very well thanks to the fanbase, but only if the likeness is truly there in the face. I would also throw in the Tardis and K9 as either one would take a minimum of plastic to produce compared to the doctor himself. By the way, I hope I am not violating any rules by placing this suggestion here.

“To the Batmobile!”

We are waiting for photos to submit to the licensor. Once it is approved by the licensor, we’ll be showing them off. I want to wait for the licensor approval just so we can say what we are showing will be IT. We need to decide how we’ll release the mockup pics. It may be a website front page story rather than a blog post but I’ll be sure to point it out here when it is up there. We’ve still got some parts to complete for the deluxe version we’ll do later on but we want to complete them and tool them up now along with all of the other parts. We’ve had to take some pretty drastic steps with the figures that will accompany the snap kit to finally get them looking right. Most pics of the car I currently have have the figures in the car and I don’t want to show them any more than I have.

The curing causes high levels of heat in a concentrated area and can warp styrene in a big big hurry. Cut yourself a plug from some sheet plastic, superglue it in place and fill the seams with gap filling super glue or some 3m body filler that comes premixed in the tube. A bit more tedious than bondo but it won’t warp.

Jamie- anything new about the Batmobile kit? Or are you planning to continue torturing us?

For those who want the hole plugged on the belly, it’s a ten minute job. Just mix up some “Bondo” (auto-body filler) swab a knifeload into it, let it harden and sand it down. Problem solved. Done in just minutes in two easy steps. 🙂

No, it’s definitely not a huge deal for any decent modeler. It’s just time and effort. I’m sure JTG’s decals will require an extra sheet you may not have planned for as well. Still, looking forward to adding another of these to my ceiling.

I think you’ll find them worth the wait. I had nothing to do with the project but I’m amazed at how great the whole package came together.
