some shots of my bat ingame what do you think?

The construction site look good.

BTW: Please convert your picture from png to jpg.
Png-files is a bit heavy. You can use the program IrfanView for easy convertion.
If you set the compression/quality rate to around 70-80, you will not be able to see it and the file size goes way down.

Very good, we need more buildings like this.

That is beautiful, and incredibly realistic. Excellent attention to details to add to the realism - the trailers, the fencing, the rebar, the plywood, etc. Just two suggestions, first the crane cables tend to disappear into the background, making the plywood bundle appear to float in air. Maybe adding some more shine or thickness to these could help them be slightly more visible (and just slightly more, they don't need to be blindingly visible). Also, some construction workers would be good, there don't appear to be any people at the site. A cluster of the standing-around-workers that you see on Maxis industrial lots somewhere outside the trailers is an idea. Maybe also some sims on the highest floor.

thanks for all the comments, does anyone no where i could get some construction workers for my bat if it be dependencies or as 3ds max construction people?

Benno, this is very very good work!

Is the BAT in HD? It looks so shiny and detailed.

Impressive work, benno, love the details, especially the freight elevator!

Only thing I would suggest is to give the concrete and blue fence texture a little bit more of a structure, it kinda looks to smooth for me, if you get what I mean. Especially the grey 'roof' and the tower look more like a grey paint then a texture to me. What do you think?
