Mark M Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Here is my second favorite Batmobile after the original 1966 car...The 1989 Keaton Batmobile...I added a figure, tinted the cockpit windshield and swapped out the front tires. Edited November 10, 2015 by Mark M
Dann Tier Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Very cool!! This and the original car are the only ones I like too! are those MRC tires on the front? -love the build!
Mark M Posted November 29, 2015 Author Posted November 29, 2015 Very cool!! This and the original car are the only ones I like too! are those MRC tires on the front? -love the build!Thanks very much indeed!These are actually two different builds. The last two are from the recent Reissue from Polar Lights/Round 2...they fixed the front tires to look more accurate. The other pics I replaced the Tires with rubber Mickey Thompson Tires... I am going to install lighting into this kit...I'll start a separate thread when I do!
ERIK88 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 nice build, I actually have this one (early 2000s reissue) It has been stripped of all of its useless chrome, you have given me inspiration to start mine!. There is so much i would love to do to it like lighting , I just dont have the skills yet.
Mark M Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 My 1/25 1989 BATMOBILE build. The model was airbrushed several different colors to reflect the effect seen in the first Tim Burton Batman film, The head rests for the seats in the cockpit were hollowed out and replaced with fabric, The model features "in scale" lighting from my friend Ralph Tenaglia of TENNACONTROLS(I can't say enough about Ralph's products! I used his standard 1/25 Car lighting kit), The light pattern switches via a reed switch and magnet, The on/off switch is hidden under the car, the Battery is replace by removing the Turbine nose on the car...this build will be part of a diorama. A Video and more pictures to come.
spencer1984 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Very cool! I did a similar upgrade to one of my '89 Batmobile kits, and it's a fun addition to the build.
Mr. Metallic Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Very cool. You really nailed the look with the diorama.
