What an amazing model !

[butterball]

As many have said before 1) this is the only version of the batplane worth working on, and 2) it is amazing the time, care and quality that you have put into your work. I am looking forward to how this will turn out.

Awesome... Any progress news?

[Ing. Spendlik]

Hi guys,
sorry for not posting. I have promised to Alien99 that I will attend small competition called Astro Racers 2015 in February (during Brno exhibition) with my own model. So last weeks I was working on it. Image below is render of the model directly from Rhino 3D editor. Currently, 3D model is completed, white paper model is on 90% finished. Model needs to be airbrushed and then I can continue with BatWing. This model will be available for free on my site in few weeks.

a) many? you are only the first I have heard say this.
1) Since mine is the only other one I know of, I guess you've made your point.

2)you finally said something I agree with.


Ing. Spendlik...
I will definitely be grabbing a copy of this model!

Ing. Spendlik your designing skills are fantastic, and your batplane is a highly detailed, and awe-inspiring piece of work. I would love to build it when you have finished designing it, and if you make it available. I would do a build thread of both yours and Airdave's model together. Just like I did the TOS Galileo shuttlecrafts of Airdave and Jörg Stammen's designs because both were worth doing. Both are sitting side by side on my shelf. I think all models are worth building as long as they are models we like, an are on subjects we love.

well said blake7.

although, paper modeling has introduced me to subjects that
I had no interest in before. I am very happy for that.

...and I can't wait to see my silly little batwing
up against this awesome model by Ing Spendlik.
I will be watching for your builds.

Ing. Spendlik I am sorry that this has taken this thread off the subject of a design and build of a great model. It just hit a cord in me. Again I am sorry about it. I think that butterball might have had a slip of the tongue due to over enthusiasm for your excellent model. At least I hope so.

I'm hoping what butterball actually meant was that this particular design shape of the Batwing, rather than the deformed monstrosity they put in the next movie. At least, that's how I interpreted his comment.

Dave, thanks for yours, it means there's at least one paper version that my building skills can handle. Ing's looks like it might be a bit beyond me.

My apologies for misspeaking. I was overawed by the level of detail and construction planning put into what I can see as an exceptional piece of work. Sometimes my fingers type before my brain fully thinks of what to say. Again, sorry for misspeaking (mistyping?).
