(...) Thanks! I was shooting for a reasonably realistic sub design. I based it a little on all the research subs I have seen and read about. As for the Batmobile....hm, the movie one is one I am thinking on (the first movie, to be specific). But I (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jan-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.aquazone)

(...) I like I like alot. The Seahorse looks as though it's a model of a real sub very realistic. And the batmobile is just too cool I love that version just as much as the movie one. Great Job. Please make the movie version too :) -James (22 years ago, 25-Jan-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.aquazone)

Holy cool models, Batman. Nice work, Joe. The coolest thing on the sub is the cockpit design. Very clever both on the look and on how it opens. The Batmobile looks a little blocky on the front end, but that is a matter of taste. I would like to see (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jan-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.aquazone)

Hi Keith, I love it! Terrific attention to detail and lots of interesting little extras. I have to ask - does it light up? If yes - does the light revolve? If no - why did you choose not too add this feature? Thanks for sharing! Regards, Ken (22 years ago, 23-Jan-03, to lugnet.town)

(...) That's very nifty. I love the wave, the shark, and the architectural details on the bridge. The rock island is also very nicely done. It's the little things like this that separate a good model from an outstanding one. Adrian -- (URL) (22 years ago, 23-Jan-03, to lugnet.town)
