Thanks for looking...any comments or questions are welcomed.

That's just awesome! I find myself wishing there was a kit of this vehicle out there so all the versions of it from the show could be easily built. With everything I have going right now I don't have the time to put the effort into one like this but I sure wish I did. Excellent job Tony.

Thanks, Jacen...I know what you mean. I did the conversion myself with the LRW and added the roof from an MPC Tradesvan I had several years ago. The option was the resin van body from Jimmie Flintstone.
After getting the body done and painted it sat until I got the signage from the 66 Batmobile forum...
I liked the black Police (I think it was) van from the show, or the "Gayfellows Cleaners", if I had to build another. I have a snap Batmobile to build and a glue kit soon to arrive (plus I still have a resin conversion for the Futura kit) so my Bat building days are many!

Nice dash Kemi. Is that foil or chrome paint?

Thank you Jacen. Its foil on dash

That is a tough piece to foil! Nicely done. I apologise for continually calling you Kemi, I just noticed that is your location and not your name. Nice work Janne.

[Tony T]

Done!

A few more.

So, with the BPPS van done, onto the PL snapkit!
Used a drill bit and round file on the three missile tubes and attached the floor boards (console is not attached yet)
Also had to paint the pinstripe on the left door. Brush painted it with a jar of Testor's 1103 that is more orange than the other jars of 1103 I had...must have been destiny or pure luck. Looks like a pretty good match even under the flash!

I love the BPPS! There are also a lot of fresh and well executed Bat related concept cars too!


Here's my contribution:

Painted Chassis




BMF and paint on the seats






Interior





Test Fit




Thanks for looking,

Nice clean work David. I love your take on the chassis.

Thanks!


Here's the rest of it.












This was a really fun kit to build- one of my "Holy Grail" cars to build. I don't know what to build next.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Looks great, Dave! I don't know about you, but I've been waiting about 45 years for this kit!

Hey, I've reffered to you as "Jaycen" more times than I care to admit!

BTW- Is it pronounced the same as 'Jason'?

Yes, Jacen is pronounced the same as Jason.

Beautiful build David!

Thanks guys! You must be telling me the truth, because yesterday a coworker offered to buy it from me as a gift for her husband. I'm actually considering selling it.

I say sell it and do it again! That's how I got started building proffesionally.

Speaking of building, i'll have a little more to show this weekend myself...finally! Lately i've been just trying to keep up with my parent's healthcare. I now have a home health aide for the weekends so i'm free to build again...YaY!

Lots of great eye candy here, please keep it coming!

We need a Penguin vehicle!
