1997 Batmobile

[Scottnkat]

Here's the Batmobile from Batman and Robin. I removed the chrome inserts that go under the body, as well as the spinning dome at the front and cast those in clear resin. I then colored them with transparent red to more closely match the color in the movie and installed lights. I drilled out the wheels and installed blue LEDs in them to light up the wheels. I also cut out the openings at the front of the car and behind the driver and put blue lights in there. Finally, I cut out the dash where the gauges go and installed lights in there. With the decals on, it now lights up the gauges. With the exception of the wheels (which I wanted to stay shiny), I put a black wash over the rest of the chrome to darken it up so it wasn't so stark. Hope you like it









and here's how it looks with the lights on







forgive the blurriness of the pic - I just couldn't seem to get a decent picture of the dash lit up



Finally, since it's wired, it needed a case. I designed the case graphics after the Batcave

A lot less "toy like" the way you did it. Very good ideas and execution. Looks wonderful.
