MOC Batboat (76006n adaptation)

[andhe]

After picking up 76006 with a major discount (thanks Tesco Clubcard scheme!) I was inspired to adapt the boat, seeing as it bear no relation to the film, and my Batman was currently riding a Jetski (www.brickset.com/detail/?set=30160-1) which just didn't seem fitting. I tried to combine the two sets as much as I could, but eventually lost track of what extra parts I'd added.

I stuck in an engine, adapted the cockpit and added a few extra missiles. I'd got the bat wings in a bulk load of lego, which is surprising as I have no other Batman lego, but managed to make them fit. The back however still looks a little like a hearse.

Seeing as Bruce got the boat, it only seemed fair to give Robin the remains of the jetski (with a few bit added).

Thanks for looking.

Snap! I was working on the exact same thing yesterday as I ended up with three Seaport sets in total thanks to my armoury.

I managed to switch all the dark green to black and went with one 'fin' instead of two, but very similar look to yours.

I'll post some photos later and see if we can combine any ideas as mine is almost there but would welcome your advice if you don't mind?

Thanks, Ideally I would have liked a black hull, but it doesn't seem to be in many sets, and not in anything I have. Look foward to seeing your version, I would have like to place a central fin, but just couldn't work it out with the bricks I had available.

I got the hull from the TMNT set which I seem to be pilaging for parts lately as the minifigs seem more of interest...

Here's mine;

As i said, still a WIP and I''ve rebuilt twice since this photo so more just to give you an idea. I'm struggling to incorporate the screen properly at the minute...

I'm working on bulking the back end up at the minute and smoothing the surfaces but let me know if you can suggest anything...
