xwingyoda Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) After Vader's Fantastic Cave, here is my contribution to our beloved Bat Month ;-) Good citizens of EB (and Gotham for this thread), let me introduce to you my MOC Batboat. Instead of having solely a pictorial review, I have created a small story for your enjoyment (like I did with Dinos 2010 & Team SWAT). Enjoy !! Erik Edited August 21, 2007 by xwingyoda Quote
xwingyoda Posted May 21, 2006 Author Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) Now lets focus on the vehicles shall we ? (how I love thos rethorical questions :-D :-P ) I will start with the GreenPeace Zodiac. Nothing too fancy, except the front Super 8 camera holder and one life vest holder. I chose red motor and rows to contrast with yellow and i think it works well that way. Lets move to Erik's Water Bike. I wanted to do a blue (not my favorite colour but its Erik colour so I had to oblige to that ;-) ) small quick build moc for his vehicle, so I decided to modify a classic 3 wheels bike. Putting skies on the rear was easy but I had difficulties in attaching a front ski (where the wheel is). After several crappy tries, I came up with the idea of attaching the front ski directly to the bike Edited August 21, 2007 by xwingyoda Quote
Jipay Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 I hope for a following story where we can see Erik been tortured and Heidi victimized one more time ! Nice batboat mods ! Quote

Hmmmmm that will be most entertaining, will the sequal involve any more moc's for the batman to use? *vader* Yes Yes Vader !! A sequel is in the thinking process and will take place in the Batcave and Arkham Asylum ;-) Nothing is set now unfortunatly hehe !! And I will try to invent new Mocs and I have an idea in mind !! Lets see how thing goes hehe !! I love those stories, even though they are NOT popular at all on these boards !! They are fun and entertaining and are a good display of mocs instead of a "simple" review !! Story On !! *yoda* Quote
Vader Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Never underestimate yoda how many people read these storys :-) Its a shame that we dont get more on here :-/ Quote
Vader Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Yoda is there any chance of having a pic of your custom next to the official boat?? oh and what is the piece count for this boat?? Quote
SuvieD Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Not sure if I like the ski/boat thing but it works and seems like something a villan would ride. The raft has some basic but nice work also. The real treasure is the new Batboat. Simple, sleek and fast looking. The shape is perfect and the cockpit is excellent. It looks very advanced and fit well with the Batman ideal. The only thing missing is some sort of pop up missle launcher for taking out airborne or larger targets. MOC on! Quote
xwingyoda Posted August 21, 2007 Author Posted August 21, 2007 Tks guys for the kind words :-$ And here are two pics for you Vad, pics of my MOC next to the official set ;-) Well not that official since it has the "modded by *yoda* " seal on them X-D Mod On !! *yoda* Quote
Siegfried Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 And here are two pics for you Vad, pics of my MOC next to the official set ;-) Well not that official since it has the "modded by *yoda* " seal on them X-D I was going to mod mine, but in the end it became a tugboat! :-P I had never seen this before as I was only an occasional lurker then. I like the boat; it looks official! (Is Erik the minifig still EB’s mascot?) Quote
Dino_Bot Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Seems to me this is the definitive Batboat MOC. *y* Quote
Wout Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Captain Iglo X-D Never thought Greepeace would want help from Captain 'Fishstick' Iglo. Nice story and nice Batboat Quote
