All my current builds are held up waiting on paint. It's hot hot here right now...humid hot. I don't paint when it's this hot and humid. I have eight or nine kits waiting to be painted. So while I wait for things to cool down and dry out a bit...I pulled this old dust gatherer off the stash.
Not much to it. Simple snap together I think. It's 1/25 scale...and I was a bit bummed there wasn't an included figure. Like I said, I had no interest in buildign it as a Bat Boat...but I really expected a figure.
No figure but they included this little abomination is what AMT wants
you This is what they include to pose it on. It's thin chip board. It's
cheap looking.

A few years back I had started on this. It was to be built either as a
submersibles fighter or a space craft. I went ahead and cut open scribed
section on the nose. I had the idea of a crew loading torpedoes or plasma torpedoes into a nose mounted launcher. I was going to cut off and sand down the bat wing detail on the fins. And then I got bogged down trying to decide on the sub or the spaceship. This is how I get into trouble with my builds.

So almost four years later I dig it out and try to do something with it. I start trimming down the fin detail. I'm probably going with the sub idea. Maybe have it beached after being disabled in a battle or something. Or maybe they are spying or some thing. I might go 1/25 and use some of the 1/124 scale figures I have. Or, maybe 1/35th scale...that'll let me have a two person crew. I can work and figure it out.
So I'll be going with inner space or outer space with this one. Gonna make some decisions and maybe/hopefully get this one assembled and ready for paint. And then move on to the next one.
