Holy Dubs, Batman! Just Finished... Batmobile

[Steve H.]

Just finished the "Batman Returns" batmobile... A quck and easy build to add to my collection. Pretty straightforward build except for the wheels. The kit tires just looked too tiny and wobbly... Batmans gotta have some grip on the road! The parts box dubs just happened to fit the wheel openings perfectly! I used the kit caps to keep the bat logo as intended.

The chrome mechanicals are washed with clear blue acrylic and I drybrushed a little gold for depth.

Metalizer Titanium seats...

Tried to pick out some chassis detail...

3 down... 2 to go...

Thanks for lookin'... Comments always welcome... I probably can't reply because my home system is down, but I'll check back when I can.

Very nice Batmobiles. But it needs to have a ten foot flame shooting out the back! Always like your builds.

Nice batmobile. the hardessed part of the kit IMO was the blue wash on the chrome parts. I agree the wheels are almost useless and I swaped them out. One last thing, this batmobile was from Batman Forever, the batmobile from Returns was the same as the 89 Batman movie.

You're right... Its from "Forever"... got myself confused there!

if you want to make the forever wheels look semi decent do what did. de chrome them then use a sharpie marker pen to draw in the 'grooves' and paint the center recess flat white and ad the bat decal to that recess. when i did mine i mixed blue paint with thinner for a wash. when i do another one, i am gonna go with tamiya clear blue which i have left over from my 2 police car projects .

Steve, your work is always first rate and I look forward to seeing your next "BatMobile"!

(someday I need to build that Jimmy Flintstone kit...)

I built this for a friend on another forum. Here is a link to the thread if anyone is interested.
