Here's one that I intend to redo one day, but it's pretty good as it is now. (I think so anyway :P ) I just know I can do better. This was one of those quickee weekend builds. I added a B&R from the Polar Lights kit.

The lack of dash detail is the reason I want to re-build. The decals are my designs. :)

LACK of dash detail? Looks pretty good from here.

Thanks Terry. I just didn't add much to it. No guages or anything, just some quickee paint here and there.

Danno- It does kinda look like a blender dunt-it? :lol: I think it's actually supposed to be a beaker warmer or some such. Anyway that's how I have it worked out in my head and it's fragile so let's not mess with it okay? :blink:

I hear you Jacen ... still ... I just can't get the Jimmy Buffet refrains out of my mind ...


"Wastin' away again in the Batmobile
Searching for that rascal Joker of Crime
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know Catwoman is really in her prime."




B) Apologies, Jimmy.

That was a metal kit, made by Polar Lights/Johnny Lightning. It's actually about ten years old at this point. I decided to clean it up and add the figures from the new 1966 Batmobile kit.

The design is Cadillac based.

Really nice model. That thing is a warmer /magnetic stirrer. They are typical laboratory equipment. I added a magnetic stirrer to my paint booth.

Thank you Greg. Both for the compliment and for clearing up what the doohickey is. :)

What is the blue/green board with wavy marks on it with a piece broken off, it’s in the middle of the bench with what looks like a thick yellow ruler sat on top of it suppose to represent? I just can’t figure it out.

I think it was supposed to be a map or some such with a portion missing.
