Yes, I find much more of a challenge in producing a damaged, rusted or distressed model than one with a shiny show-room finish.
These are a couple good examples of balanced and believable rust, weathering and damage, excellent work!

I've been going there for at least 15 years- long enough that if Nancy's working at the register, she greets me by name when I come through the door.
I'll shop on line to get the kit numbers, then I have Hobby Bench order them for me.

Get both, put black on the front and chrome on the back... unless it's front wheel drive, then put the chrome on the front.
You should do what seems right to you.

Among the crowd I ran with back in the 70's and 80's, seeing tires like that on some guy's car meant that he found a set of fancy wheels, but couldn't afford the proper sized tires for them. Most of wouldn't dream of putting wheels on a car unless we could get some matching tires- there would be more than a few derisive stares from the others.
But I'm old and times change.

Very nice Batmobile!
I agree with you on the intakes, they're too light. When I built mine I mixed four different shades of black, one matte and three semi-gloss.
Nice work on the lighting too.

How about newspapers not only from a different location, but also from a different time. I recently unpacked some items that I had packed away when I moved from Akron to Phoenix... in 1989! Talk about a strange sweep of nostalgia.
