paholmes Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'm working on some in-progress pics, but this thing is un-fricking-real! Fit is amazing, detail is amazing, (the subject is amazing)!!! :blink: Here is a pic of the model (displayed at the Shizuoka Hobby Show I think). I am painting mine using MM Aircraft Interior Black, with MM Semi-Gloss Clear Laquer Finish, as it looks kind of funny in a straight flat finish. Look for some of my pics soon!

Vandy 1 vx4 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Have one too. Real nice simpel kit. Finaly I can have a model in a weakend. I was told by a buddy of mine there is a 1/16th scale diecast toy out to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silver1 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Cool! Sometime, off in the distant future, I want to have one of every Batmobile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paholmes Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 DONE!!!! Had a few major mishaps (ie: losing parts/breakaway parts), but it is done..... The hardest part was orienting the fibreoptics and the bulb in the space provided. And though there is a slight difference in brightness in one of the 4-headlight clusters, I still think it's a sweet lookin' vehicle.... I will have some digital pics on the weekend.... :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boxster Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Got one too but a lot smaller than I expected! I haven't got around to building it yet but will, soon! I think its a 1/18 diecast model instead of 1/16. Price is good too and I saw it in Ehobbies.com. Any idea if Revell or AMT gonna release this sucka in 1/24 or 1/25? Paholmes gonna light it? Cool dude! B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kenobi1125 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I saw the box at a con not to long ago, man it's TINY! I found the 1/18th Hot Wheels Die cast, it's nice, but soft on detail and compared to the '89 Batmobile, it still seems small. I heard that another model company was looking at a 1/24 but I've yet to find any proof. I'm presuming the lighting was of your own design? Not included in the kit? Nice stuff - your paint choice looks right to me (I've seen the tumbler up close - for the scale, flat black would be too flat.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup... just used a basic battery-switch-light source circuit and routed the FibreOptics as I saw fit..... Thanks for the compliments! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
