Papercraft 1948 Batmobile

OK, so this month over on the Cardboard Warriors forum, the theme for the monthly Hoard is Cyberpunk. But then one of the people posted some Batman stuff, and a lot of us got kind of excited about that instead. And that got me to thinking... since they had a couple different versions of an early-80's-style Batmobile already converted from existing papercraft sports car templates, maybe I could do the same. And since I am particularly fond of the 1948 Batmobile, I figured that would be the one to go for.

1948 Batmobile, it is not much to go on but I like it


One of the Cardboard Warriors is Grandelsmother64, and about eight years ago he did some generic papercraft 1930s/1940s cars. So I figured one of those would be a good basis to start from. And one thing led to another, and I made all the conversion pieces. I prefer my Batmobiles to be black, not blue or with stripes (except the 1966 TV Batmobile, with it's red trim, that will always be the Best Batmobile,) so that's the direction I went with it.

Here's the template

Ooh, pretty!

And a Chaos Cultist for size comparison

The Great Las Vegas Wargamers Mouse Challenge

Ok, so the Las Vegas Wargamers group on FaceBook had a modelling challenge for June: create something for wargaming out of an old computer mouse. Originally the brief was "tank" but it was pointed out that a lot of different things could be done with a mouse for wargaming. And so it began. In the end only three of us finished up by the June 30 deadline, so I thought I'd share what was presented. To start, Daniel Liswood created a Victorian Science Fiction sky chariot. I thought this was wonderfully creative. Sadly, he only gave us one picture: Next up, Steve Massey gave us a wonderful Waaa-Buggy to add to his ever growing Space Ork horde from the Warhamster 40,000 universe (I say "universe" instead of "game" because I'm not sure what he plays with these things!) And finally, my submission: the M-69F Mouse scout tank. I took quite a few pictures showing it in a variety of different environments. ...

Scooby-Doo And Mystery Inc

OK, so I finally finished up Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. kids. I'll have to get around to detailing the Happy Meal-provided Mystery Machine at some point. I am not entirely sure of where the models came from. An online acquaintance had them when I asked about sources a few years ago. They are all Clix figures that have been repainted and in some cases converted. Except Scrappy Doo, he is the small dog that is included with the Perry Miniatures plastic British colonial troops.
