Bat pod
Posted by Iceygator77 on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 1:25 PM

Just got the Moebius 1/25 bat pod model along with the two batman figures to go along with my 'tumbler' kit! Just curious if any one out there has built these yet and if there are any corrections I should make with the directions like those needed in the 'tumbler' model kit or any good tips on figure painting as these are my first attempts at figure models!

Make sure you assemble the rider at the same time as the bat pod. Don't build the bike and attempt to mount the figure afterwards.

I've noticed in the instructions that the figure should be assembled during the pod build, but I'm still unsure if I want the rider on or not. May end up doing one of each then deciding on which to display!

As Rob describes and you notice in the i-sheet, build the figure into the pod together. That's if you intend to add a rider. 

I built this Bat-Pod in 1/25 in 2012 but I added a lot of details missing from the kit.

In that linked thread, there is another link to the Blog where I describe all the changes I made during build progress. The mods and detailing is not required to build a nice little kit. It looks good OOB as well.
