Above we see a second view of the pattern. You'll notice is has a grey primer covering the ship portion. This masks the wood grain underneath. I was unable to learn the reasoning for the primer's presence.
Here we see yet another view. The front battering ram, top middle fin, and ship bottom were done as separate patterns as far as I know.
Above we see a final shot of the wooden ship. Patterns often exhibited detail added on with bondo. However, the Supermobile was a fairly sleek, nondetailed ship so this was not necessary. A piece like the front battering ram may have had extra detail added on in this manner.
Wood patterns are incredibly rare finds. Many were utilized as firewood after serving their purpose, while others were taken home and hung on employee walls as abstract art. I heartily agree that these are true works of art. This piece and the Hall of Justice wood model shown on this site are the sole creations of Kenner patternmakers that have surfaced for the Super Powers line.
