The Brass Samovar of Genghis Khan

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.

    Ah, 50's and 60's Gotham! Home of everything out of scale. I can still see Robin jumping around on the keys of a humongous typewriter.

      Yes, and seemingly lots of other giant stuff! Thanks for commenting.
