I like this model a lot.  The endlessly debated question is the amount of
yellow to use, and I am not sure how successful you were on that count --
but this is nitpicking. Really cool model either way.

Do please post the variant of the model with the Scorpian tail.  I am very
keen to see it.

It is my belief that Blacktrons enjoyed using animal totems in connection to
their machines. If one considers the name "Battrax" it separates into the
two words "bat" and "trax". Now a bat is an animal we are all familiar with,
no point discussing that (except to note that it may connect Blacktrons
obliquely to the Fright Knights in the castle theme). The word "trax" is
colloquial English for tracks on a vinyl record, tracks as one finds in
soil, etc. So in the conflation of the two words as "Battrax" -- we discover
that we have a bat that leaves the mark of it's passing. Interesting? [btw,
this is how to write an English essay -- link a bunch of seemingly
meaningless stuff into some huge ball of ****.]
