Not much but progress is progress lol

This build has come along very quickly. Is the length of your bat going to be 43 1/2" long?

No, as that is not the correct measurement for the screen used bat

 

[Greeky04]

Ah I see. I wasnt sure as that is the measurements iv got from a member that made this bat awhile ago. Good to know its the wrong size. So how long is the screen used bat

I wont be posting any of that info as of yet because I may be doing a small run of these when finished. Also I told Jedifyfe I wouldnt lol. If you dig hard enough you can find them

 

[Greeky04]

I can understand that. I was hoping you would offer these for sale as I would be very interested in one

 

[Bftiedt]

Hopefully I'll be able to make some good progress over the long weekend. My goal is to have both air valves permanently mounted inside the bat as well as the cylinder mounts mounted and in place.

 

[Bftiedt]

Got the air valves permanently mounted

 

[Greeky04]

Can you make the mounting bolts smaller? They appear to protrude out too far, correct me if im wrong?

2 of the mounting bolts are faux mounting bolts . They are actually what will make the bat extend and collapse . You will need to screw them out to let air pass to the air cylinder. Here is a shot of them open and closed. When closed the will be that same as the others that will be on the bat.

 

[Greeky04]

Right gotcha. So can you have the bat fully extended without the air pressure on

I have designed a small air tank that will be hidden in the handle of the bat. When you turn one of the air valve knobs the bat will extend . Once you close that air valve it will not collapse until you open the other air valve to release the pressure in the air cylinder.

 

[MAKE BELIEVE]

Very nice project

Somebody has any news of Bftiedt? The guy still owes me a prop, but hasn't been online since half of august... I hope he's OK (and that I will get my prop, but first of all, off course, I hope nothing happened to him).

Looks like he's now banned.

 

[TomVDJ]

Yep, he got banned, but I got what I was owned by tracking him down on facebook and contacting him there (this was before he was banned here).

 

[MitasTouch]

Why did he get banned? Unethical business practices?

 

[TomVDJ]

Yep, didn't deliver props to people who already payed for them.

 

[Contec]

Yep, didn't deliver props to people who already payed for them.

He was the guy who made the bttf2 glasses right?
