MOC: The Bumbler. Large images!!

Post by Tuefish » Mon Nov 03, 2008 12:27 am

this is my moc; The Bumbler. (beach tumbler) it's a sort of nerdy version of the tumbler from batman.

First: the original set.

I think it must be 9:17.

And I like it. It's really fun to take one set and try to make something totally new from it. You did well with such a small set.

It is good.

Blurry pics though.

I bought two of that set, and with a bunch of other pieces, made them and the dark blue thing from the Agents surveillance truck into somewhat-replicas of the surveillance truck on.

They're pretty cool.
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

My first thought was "It seems a little small, wasn't the original tumbler so big they mistook it for a tank?"
Then I saw the detachable Segway, and all was forgiven.
Seriously, Batman needs a Bat-Segway in the next film.

WOHOO! BATTLE SEGUAY! All it needs now are thrusters and a minigun and yer all set!
When cities burn and armies turn to flee in diseray
The weak ones cry "tis best to fly and fight another day!"
But true heroes know deep in their marrow when they die and fall,
"Tis better to have faught and lost, than to have never faught at all!"
