Well, I have decided to build the 1989 Batmobile:D. I recon this is the epitome of what the Batmobile is meant to look like - other may differ, but that is my opinion.^_^ This is the ultimate muscle car, if you disagree - my apologies.

I've decided to have it on the turn table in the batcave and that is where I've stopped.o.O I could do more but I don't want to make a rod for my back....or break the bank :/, we will just have to wait and see how this plays out?9_9

Cool.

Trying something different here, using cheap household bleach to remove the chrome off parts. It's slow, but it does work!!

For the children, only do this under adult supervision wearing safety goggles and gloves.

The work chugs along, I've been pottering around with the engine for the Batmobile diorama, here are some images for reference and where I am on the engine - next will be undercoat, gloss black, Alclad2 (colour ?), black wash and further detailing.







Thanks for looking.

The engine is progressing nicely, I'm liking the look that I am achieving.







Thanks for looking!

Well, I guess paint dry's quicker than my building, but here is a quick update.
The Batmobile is nearing completion and the cave is taking shape.





Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the compliments, work is progressing and I'm playing around with some ideas for the layout for the Batcave "workshop".

I still throwing stuff around to see where it sticks.





Thanks for looking

Looks great Gavin.

Well, the cave grows and grows.....

The back wall is taking shape the afterburner blast deflector is looking good as well, need to finish the vault door and cat walks at the front, then wall up the sides..... plenty to do!O.o

I was worried that I was making a rod for my back, but when you are having so much fun, it sure ain't no rod!:D





Thanks for looking!

The Bat Cave is essentially ready for occupancy all that is needed is the Batmobile and Bruce Wayne tuning the turbine.

Happy New year to everyone!!

Wow, I have finally finished this build and have named it, "Tune Up".
This is my re-imagining of Tim Burton's bat cave in Batman & Batman Returns.
I hope you enjoy the completed build.











Thanks for watching!!

Very nice finish. The added details look good.

Very cool build Gavin.
