Decool 7116 The Ultimate Batmobile - WIP 1

WOW!! That's huge

First off I would like to apologise for the hiatus from this blog for so long. Mentioned in the previous post that I got a new job and can't seem to find either the time or mood to do any model kits or bricks building until the recent Christmas break (I have been riding a lot but just around the little island). I went to the 'toy room' and took this st out. It is the Decool's version of The Batmobile Ultimate Collectors Edition from Lego but at a cheaper price.

Without anymore delays, let's get on with the built.

Another brick set

Here is another brick set From Sheng Yuan. It is their take of the Hulkbuster. This is a quick post of this kit. Mainly photos with pros and cons and conclusions at the bottom.

Box:

Bela 10226 Man-Bat Attack NightWing Helicopter

A quick build to de-stress

This is a quick built to de-stress as there are so many things happening in my life. Read in an article that in order to better deal with stress, you will need to one of the following from T.E.A.R.S. (Talk, Exercise, Artistic expression, Recording or writing experiences and Sobbing). What I went for is the third option which is Artistic approach. 

 

This kit is a knock-off replica of the Lego Man-Bat Attack from Bela. It has all the mini-figs and accessories as the original counterpart.

Decool 7108 Bat Tank - WIP 2 (Final)

 Feels like putting together a sandwich

In the previous post, I have completed the main body of the tank. The only other parts to assemble are the tracks.

First few pieces required for the start of the track assembly

Partially completed frame

The tracks. A total of 79 pieces are required...

 Big but small set

 

Sorry for the lack of update on the blog recently. A lot has happened and I will have an update post in the future but for now, it is time to post another WIP and review on another Batman set from Decool. This time round is the Bat Tank. Same as the Bat Wing, this set is from the Lego set 7787: The Bat-Tank: The Riddler and Bane's Hideout but without the gate to Bane's hideout, Bane and his bike.

 

The Bat-Tank: The Riddler and Bane's Hideout

 

I don't really mind missing on the gate because I am more to collecting the Bat vehicles. I just wish they would have included Bane's minifigure in this set as well.

Decool 3354 Motorcycle - WIP 2 (Final)

Where's the stand? Find the stand !!

 

In the previous post, the engine block or the heart of the motorcycle has been completed so the only way to start this post is with the heart implant.

Another Decool set

 

I have been assembling a lot of Lego sets recently. Truth is Lego takes up less time to assemble and these past few months, I don't have enough time to complete even one small section of plamo. So I will be bringing out my Lego sets from storage and assembling them until I find time to get back to plamo.

 

Another brick set to be assembled and this time it is the Decool 3354 Motorcycle. This is the Decool version of the Lego Technic 8051. What is interesting is that the original Lego set has a 2-in-1 build function and this is the alternate build. Hmm...I wonder if I can build the original version.

Decool 7105 Batmobile - WIP 3 (Final)

Final leg of the journey

 

With most of the assembly completed in the previous post, there are a few more minor things to add-in to the Tumbler such as weapons and a couple of flaps, give it some wheels and it is ready for action. 

Flaps attached to the Tumbler

 

 

The flaps on the top can be individually moved.

Seriously?? Here we go again...

 

Instead of slowly figuring out which pieces goes where in the previous post, I asked my most knowledgeable best friend, Mr. G., for help. He manage to get me the online instruction of this build from Lego Brick Instructions.

 

With the instructions on hand, I proceed to build the Tumbler layer cake.

Err...Where are the rest of the instructions?

Another brick set from Decool. This is the 7105 Batmobile set which is from the Lego 7888: The Tumbler: Joker's Ice Cream Surprise.

 

As with the other sets from Decool, this does not come complete with the ice-cream truck and Joker's henchman. The batmobile design is from Batman Begins trilogy. Somehow I prefer this design to the Decool 7111 Tumbler. This design makes the tumbler looks sportier.

How are you wearing that? Front? Back?

 

Saw a few of these blind packs at Tesco recently which was selling at 50% off. There were not many choices left so I went to have a 'feel' of what is inside. I wanted Raphael with the tiny turtle so after a quick 'feel' and confirmation, I took one.

 

 

Upon opening the pack and pouring out the contents, I knew my power of feeling was correct.

 

Decool 7112 The Bat Fighter - WIP 3 (Final)

The Batwing and its glory

  

In the previous post, there was a problem after attaching the wings to the body. That problem has been solved. What was the problem? Honestly, I don't know. All I did was dismantle the base and assembled it again. After that, wings are suppose to be where they are and we can finally continue with the building process. I believe I might have miscounted some of the parts wrongly which led to the problem in the first place.

 

Finally we can continue with the assembling process

Alfred, we have a problem

Some subsections in the manual are shown in the previous post, but there are a lot more which I have encountered.

 

More subsections in the manual not covered in the previous post.

 Batwing? Bat Fighter? I'm confused

 

Since 200% of  my time are taken up by work (actual work and housework) and don't really have the time to spend building Gundams, I will have to put my current project on hold and build something which isn't so time consuming. I have 2 3rd party brick building set in my backlog and decided to start with this:

 

LEGO Star Wars Microfighters Resistance X-Wing Fighter - WIP 2 (Final)

Accelerate to attack speed

Continuing the build of the LEGO Microfighters X-Wing.

In WIP 1, the pilot and the main body of the X-Wing has been completed. In this post, we will look at assembling the wings, attaching it to the body and showing the gimmicks.

Step 19: First step of assembling the wing

2 completed wings

It takes a total of 8 steps to complete half of the wings. It is interesting to note how both the wings are attached to the body.

LEGO Star Wars Microfighters Resistance X-Wing Fighter - WIP 1

First of its kind (on the blog)

 

I have encountered some problems with the decals while working on the Eggplane YF-19. To stop the frustration and to cool down, I decided start on another small and a much simpler kit. Let us welcome: LEGO Star Wars Microfighters Resistance X-Wing Fighter. That is a mouthful so I will just refer to this set as the X-Wing.
