Bunker Talk: The Brass Samovar of Genghis Khan

Sunday, May 24, 2026

The Brass Samovar of Genghis Khan is an object of veneration in Batman 66 by Bessarovian Cassocks.

So I got a coffee pot from the dollar store to work as a stand in for it.

The colors need work.

But I will repaint it and live with the fact that a coffee pot is not a samovar.

But close enough for this purpose.

Batman for size.

The one on the right has been primer painted and now is masked off so it can be painted a silver tone color on the base, handle spout and top.
