Bat mocs'N'Mods Treat 6!

[Batbrick]

Hello EB, welcome to Bat Mocs'n'Mods 6, the next installment in the possiblly-neverending-till-I-croak Batman related goodies. By now once more you will have realised that your free makeup kit was merely an elaborately staged hoax to get you to come here! Muhahaha! The Batpod is real though!

Anyhoo, today we have:

0 mods because there's really nothing left to mod.

3 updations (mods of mods)

2 creations

1 vig

And a zany new villain...

Part 1 - The Mods

Well that was easy, moving on

Part 2 - The Updates:

Batboat remod:

Here is the link to my original mod. As you can see I've gone further now than simply blackening it up and added normal transparent pieces. With the miniboat abolished in order to make my cooler Batboat I decided to fill up that empty space with something much more useful:

The rear compartment is perfect for storing much needed equipment for the Caped Crusader and is easily detachable since it is connected only by technic pins. It can be accessed from within the Batboat or opened up from the outside. Closed and Open.

Another shot of it opened:

The rear tow cables are also for towing away vehicles owned by enemies or stranded innocents. It actually works, trust me:

And of course a slick last shot:

Two-Face Truck remod:

Basically in the comics and every other medium he's appeared in including lego Two-Face has his scars on his left side. I only realised just realised a month or two ago that the colours on the Lego truck were on the wrong sides, so I fixed them up:

I'm pretty darn sure I haven't posted this before, but anyway I'm really happy how it turned out:

Joker Copter remod:

As you can see in my Original mod I eliminated the "bubble" style cockpit completely, giving it a more sleek design. Unfortunately my mod plagued me for ages until I realised I had taken away the "Jokerish" element of it. Sure I didn't like how the original cockpit was so large and cumbersome, but I further disliked how I had taken away that Clown feeling. So I decided to reinstate the bubble style but in a more effective way than the original set:

As you can see the bubble style is not nearly as pronounced as the actual set but no totally gone like in my unsuccessful first mod. The copter is now sleeker while still being fun and also boasts a much better control system:

^Seriously, I Harley so much!

Part 3 - The Creations

The Batpod:

In all seriousness, this moc is one of my proudest creations. Thanks to both Wetwired - who provided inpspiration for the chassis connections - and Brainbox - who came up with the wheel gun design. Apart from that I feel I came up with a really cool and accurate design that is very close to the actual Batpod's size compared to the minifig:

I'm really happy with how the fig clips onto the ride, it took me a while to get it right but I feel the "shoulder pads" worked well as a connection point:

^He normally lies more flat than that sorry. Another shot without without the rider:

It's also very mobile, swerving the corner!

And it came all the way from my original design (which btw I still think is not that bad):

Scarecrow's Carriage:

I felt Scarecrow deserved a much cooler scarier vehicle than the Cropduster, which was admittingly cool still:

I'm really happy how the wooden effect came out as well as the writhing snakes within:

The carriage is heavily based on "The Long Halloween"s Scarecrow Carriage in which Scarecrow and Mad Hatter are hired to loot the Gotham Bank:

Part 4 - The Vig

A Scarecrow Halloween:

As a Proffesor and Chemist specialising in the realm of fear, Dr Jonathon Crane better known as the Scarecrow will do anything to further his research in the study of sheer horror. Halloween is of special significance to him due to its dark nature and so the Master of Fear creates an elaborate setup to fit:

But wait! Is that a victim in that pit of snakes?! My goodness it is! it is the Bat himself!

"No longer will you be the greatest source of terror in Gotham, Happy Halloween Batman! It will be your last!"

Yes I know I'm ridiculously late for Halloween, sue me.

Part 5 - Attack of the Punster!

A daring new criminal has struck Gotham! He calls himself the Punster, and makes various pun based crimes combined with illogical modes of attack. Upon research Batbrick has identified the fiend as none other than Brainbox. This man suffers from delusions after fighting in the war. He survived mustard gas and pepper spray and is now considered a seasoned veteran. However his pathos go farther back than that. Brainbox left school not because he disliked it but because of the principal of it. Growing up in dark places he dropped out of communism as well as a result of lousy Marx. Things were looking up for him when he became a banker but he quickly lost interest. Now he scourges Gotham as the vengeful Punster, destroying all that led his life into the way it is now!

The Punster first struck when he pushed an old butcher friend of his backward into a meat grinder saying "looks like you'll get a little behind in your work!"

After nearly pushing an old friend off a cliff "because gravity is always putting people down" Batbrick caught up with him. Unfortunately the Punster brought some illogical weaponry previously noted:

After losing the battle when a pencil used to stab Batman broke and was subsequently pointless, The Punster tried to escape on a motorbike. Unfortunately he soon crashed because a bike can't stand up when it's two-tired:

When the Punster replied he would escape prison Batbrick simply replied "Ah, but prison walls are never built to scale!"

Much later Brainbox was given probation from Arkham since he supposedly had overcome his obsession (He no longer tried to give out dead batteries free of charge). As part of his probation, he had to serve the humiliating job of being Eb member The Penguin's umbrella holder fro several weeks:

The first rule given to him by The Penguin was "No puns whatsoever!"

Upon replying "Ah but seven days without a pun makes one weak" The Punster was promptly sent back to Arkham. forever.

The End!

Hope you liked the whole thing and please comment! See if you can also find all the puns!

Batbrick Away!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! )

Great job, Batbrick! ) I was just looking for someone to hold my umbrella, and you gave me such a good employee! ))))

Too bad, that during his first day, Brainbox pushed the wrong button on the umbrella which turned it into a small helicopter and now he's approximately somewhere above Poland or Germany, according to my calculations.... )

Great mods there, Batbrick. especially the batpod, which looks quite in scale and well desighned! ) Keep 'em up! )

Good day, gentlemen! )

[iamded]

Hehe, that's gold! Love the puns!

And I love that Bat-pod, it's just so awesome! Huge improvement on the first one, much more refined. The boat is looking very nice, and Joker's copter is the perfect balance between you first mod and TLC's version. Two-face's van looks good, but that sticker on the roof sticks out. Though only from the top view, and there's not much we can do about it anyway. Scarecrow's cart is quite neat indeed, I may use it for my medieval town. The vignette is very dark too, sure to drive any Trick-or-treater bats.

Hi BatBrick, I really love your evergrowing collection of mods and re-mods (this somehow reminds me of my work on the Super Nova... ) and MOCs

The re-mods are very well built; I take they can be considered 'final' ?

The Batpod seems simplier than some I saw on BS, yet more proportionate and sturdy. Brilliant job there.

The Scarecrow's Carriage is something I'd never have thought of. Yet it's so pertaing to the character Btw, those decals look very familiar

And finally, I find the vig very suited for (a bit late) Halloween.

[Snake...SNAKE...SNAAAAKE?!]

That...Van..is...so ... awesome!!!!!!!

Good work!

[Brainbox]

The improved Batboat looks great. I keep looking at mine thinking "those Bat-fins need to go" but I can't quite bring myself to get rid of them. But great work, like I said. Two-Face's truck is far better for being right now. I mean, I'm probably still going to keep mine as is, but it's nice to see it the proper way round. I definitely prefer this version of the copter to your last one. Don't get me wrong, that was great, but this one feels just that little bit more like the original.

Scarecrow's carriage is simply wonderful, and the Batpod marks another stellar addition to the plethora out there. Thing is mate... the Internet still prefers mine.

And even if it is a bit late, Scarecrow's Halloween vig is a nice little scene too.

Well that was easy, moving on

I like it, it really improves on the official design-- oh, right.

^Seriously, I Harley so much!

As much as I do?

Part 5 - Attack of the Punster!

A daring new criminal has struck Gotham! He calls himself the Punster, and makes various pun based crimes combined with illogical modes of attack. Upon research Batbrick has identified the fiend as none other than Brainbox.

Oh dear... I think this may well have become my favouritest thing ever. Seriously, I laughed that much. How long did it take you to write? Because you can't seriously tell me that all those puns "just came to you".

The other plus here is that I can make him. That means he may well emerge sometime soon...

[Legoman31]

Great MOCs! After recently buying The LEGO Batman Video Game I was wonder if you were going to MOC the stuff from it?

[JimBee]

Very cool creations, again, Batbrick! I especially like the Joker Copter and the Scarecrow wagon/ vig- very scary!

Yes I know I'm ridiculously late for Halloween, sue me.

You know, that's not a bad idea... I think I will!

And also, very "punny" villain [insert pun here].

[Derek]

The Joker copter is definately the best of the bunch. I love the fold out cannons (lasers, whatever...) and how you bulked it up. Nice work!

[Brickadier General]

Really good work, BatBrick. My favorites are the Scarecrow Wagon and the Joker's Copter (which I think looks much nicer than the official Lego version).

[???theriddler???]

Just totaly awesome!!!!! Specialy love the vig's and the pod!!

[simonjedi]

you needed to decapitate someone then say...

"That's not the way to get ahead in life"

Very awesome mod and mocs, my favorite is the batpod.

[Batbrick]

Thank friend! And you are right, he did end up in Europe!

I'm glad you like the Batpod too The Penguin.

Oh I knew you would love the puns my prey friend!

Thanks a heap, I'm really happy you like the Batpod, I agree it is much more refined than the original. I agree the sticker on the roof sticks out on the Two-Face truck, it is sadly the only thing I cannot change....

Oh and feel free to use in your medieval town, I'd be honoured!

You are right LuxorV mate, I am becoming similar to your Super Nova ways

Yes, I think most of my remods are final, though perhaps not in some cases. I'm glad you like the Batpod too, I agree it is more simple. Wetwire's is a thing of beauty but I had to sacrifice some details for mine to be more size accurate and like you say sturdy. I'm glad you like the carriage too thanks, I might post the scene from the comic. And yes, once again I thank you a lot for those decals!

Thanks mate, glad you like the boat. I did love the fins on the Batboat but felt that out of all the Batvehicles, that was the one that didn't need them. I agree to that the latest chopper version is the best. Well I'm sorry though, but the internet also thinks Miller's The Spirit will be good, so I win!

As much as I do?

More so, I knew her before you growing up on TAS when she was invented, and I got her figure first

Oh dear... I think this may well have become my favouritest thing ever. Seriously, I laughed that much. How long did it take you to write? Because you can't seriously tell me that all those puns "just came to you".

The other plus here is that I can make him. That means he may well emerge sometime soon...

I was afraid you'd love this a bit much!

It took me ages actually, everything here was ready except for that ages ago. Some of the puns came to me yes, but others I found appropriate after searching puns on the trust internet. And you can make him too! Sadly you being the ego you are you'll probably ruin him...

Great MOCs! After recently buying The LEGO Batman Video Game I was wonder if you were going to MOC the stuff from it?

Thanks legoman31, I think I might but I also like to have my own original creations.

you needed to decapitate someone then say...

"That's not the way to get ahead in life"

Very awesome mod and mocs, my favorite is the batpod.

Oh that would've been so good! Thanks for the suggestion, and glad you liked the Batpod.

Thanks everybody who commented!

Batbrick Away!

[Righteous Squid]

I like what you have done with Two-face's van, the batboat and the patpod (even though I'm not a big fan of it).

I'm especially pleased to see your scarecrow MOC's. He's my favorite villan and I'm getting his crop-duster for Christmas (not sure of its modding possibilities yet). I want to do a few MOC's for him myself but don't have enough brown - (I have been checking out the possibility of getting Harry Potter Shrieking Shack set to give a foundation for a Scarecrow fear factory) - probably be a while before I gather the right pieces.

Your cart fits very nicely with the character. There is one potential problem though - Given the range of veichles Batman has poor scarecrow wouldn't stand a chance. I suggest you get rid of your Batmobile etc and give Batman something like this:

Imagine the fun to be had...

Great job greating villans too - its nice to see the individual touch that others bring to their lego gotham.

Your Scarecrow MOC has also reminded me of one of my favorite Gotham characters - the ragman - If only Lego would release a set with a dark green hood and cape.
