Reddish-brown for starters, and we'll see how it goes from there.

First off, when you refer to someone by name it is polite to capitalize the first initial of their name. I am "Will", not "will".
Second, I will let you know when it is coming, just not quite yet. :)

Reddish-brown? Excellent. A black bat might be cool, but a brown will be even cooler.

Very sorry, Will :<

What about the peachish bats like in the first pics? You could also make special silver ones with black handle (metal bat)

That Bat isn't peach/flesh; it's tan.

As for multi-colored bats, as they'd require a multi-step injection process to produce, they aren't likely to ever be widely available. Still, that was an interesting idea!

As soon as I made my first one, my middle son (the All Star) colored it to produce a two-toned item just just like the Easton Stealth bat he owns. He was very proud of it!

I have produced a couple of two-part injected bats, and while they were a lot of fun, they were very difficult to inject correctly. In order to pull them off successfully, I would need to produce another prototype mold designed specifically for an overmold process, .

Uh.. no. It means that Will's (middle) son had the same idea - but before any of you even knew this item existed. Further, Will clearly stated that a two-colour bat would require a totally different mold design. I have a feeling it's unlikely to happen.

What? Aussie Custom Decals wouldn't be at BrickWorld in 2009. BrickWorld is a US convention. Further, Aussie Custom Decals is no longer a re-seller of BrickArms products.

Okay, I'm going to remind everyone that this thread is about the baseball bat prototype that appeared at BrickWorld. It is -not- about re-sellers or other conventions.

And I'm also going to remind you, commander coops, to review the forum guidelines before making any further posts. Proper grammar (or as close as you can come to it, we don't expect perfection) and NOT to double-post are in the rules that you agreed to follow by signing up for this forum. Further, the word is 'relatives,' not 'relos.' Relos is not a word.

I've already had to moderate or outright delete a number of your posts due to rule infractions. If this continues, you will be suspended.



Back on topic, everyone.

Is the wider part of the bat the same width as the steilhandgranate's head?

No, the top end of the baseball bat is just a tiny bit smaller. Actually, that part of the bat fits perfectly into a TLC stud-sized (Technic) port.

Yeah, and so does the stick grenade. So it must be a small enoguh difference so that it doesn't matter.

You could just use silver bats insted of doing the double injection thing... I think that would look nice and it would keep it simple. By the way nice work Will i've been trying to make a bat for years.

I would really find a silver bat helpful as I need it to finish my scout fig


In WW1, when the Central powers were notified that the Canadians were in the other trench, they knew it would be a tough fight.

As would I. My Scout is sad with his Brick Built bat.

In terms of colors, the upcoming BrickArm Baseball Bat will be available in brown (technically a reddish-brown color that's a near perfect match to the TLC color). It's the same color as the BA M1 Garand.

Other potential colors for the baseball bat are tan and silver. Plans for those two colors, however, are tentative. Again, the only color that's a definite lock at this time is brown.

To be honest, I've never seen a brown bat. Tan, yes. Silver, of course, but brown seems a bit out of place for a bat to me.
