Overlords-verse: Batwing
Was gonna give it a generic title, but it kinda only fits in the OL-verse. Anywho, here's a batwing, considerably smaller and sleeker than the last one. So, let's go through some details :D
First up, what's it made from. Now, I wouldn't usually do this, but I thought it might be fun to go through what it's based on. the body of the jet itself is the most recent Batwing, from the Batwoman set (76111). Stripped it down to its most basic level and used it as a base to build the rest. The nose is from the Civil war set with Black panther (76047). Not gonna lie, I think this was the easiest way to get the perfectly pointed nose. The rest is completely original.
Now I've talked about the build, let's talk about the stickers. I am so glad I kept them all these years. The ones on the nose and top are from the Clone wars AT-TE (7675). I've had them all these years, and honestly didn't think I'd get to use them. So glad I was able to though, as they work pretty well.
Next, Functionality. Naturally, the cockpit opens, and batman can sit inside (well, not anymore, as he's kinda dead, in story). He sits quite comfortably, and is able to actually sit up, which is a novelty in itself. The thruster/gun pods at the back can swivel 360 degrees, and basically serve as stabilisers type things, allowing the jet to hover, and take off vertically, valuable assets for an urban vehicle.
Ooh, and Batman himself has also been upgraded. The idea for this actually came to me back when I made Flashpoint Batman, and Brickstudios suggested using a red sticker for the eyes. Suddenly it dawned on me that any head could be used, as long as the chin fit. So, I set to work finding the perfect head for an ageing Batman, which was surprisingly harder than you'd think. Eventually, i settled on a clone wars Mandalorian head, from the battle pack (7914). Whilst not great, it does have a good 'unimpressed' look about it, which I quite like. the benefits of this discovery are...well, immense. the white sticker alone really makes him look better, giving him brighter eyes and all, but the possibilities it affords are...wonderful.
So, got slightly off topic, but we'll ignore that :P So, as always, lemme know what you think :D
