Kendo Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Hey guys , after waiting two months to get all the parts , everything I need for my Classic Arkham Batmobile has arrived . In my mind I’m still calling this a WIP , as there still remain some changes to be made , but they are really small and subtle , so I decided to post it as it is ( and maybe post a V1.1 later ) . As I’m sure you can imagine , one of these changes is changing the colour of the two “road signs” on the roof of the car to black . Unfortunately , these parts don’t come in black , so I’ll paint them ( I don’t love the idea anymore than you do , but I think the parts fit in perfectly and they look inaccurate being grey and brown ). I am also playing with the idea of adding stickers to give the model that extra bit of accuracy , specifically on the "6005" parts in front of the rear wheels . Finally , what’s a Batmobile without Batman ? I knew , from the moment I started building this that I had to get a custom Arkham series Batman minifig to go along with it . And when I tumbled upon onlinesailin’s Arkham City Batman, I was amazed by the astonishing level of detail, the amazing resemblance to the iconic suit, everything . Thanks “onlinesailin”, for the best minifigure out there , this moc wouldn't be the same without it . Now, I’m sure you came here to see a Batmobile, not read boring details, so here are some pictures . Now let me get that explosive gel ... I really hope you liked my build , please comment your opinion and/or constructive criticism . Thanks for viewing :) Quote
steveholt Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Looks pretty cool, though i can't remember the first Game very well haha. Is the minifigure custom or bootleg btw? Quote
Kendo Posted December 18, 2015 Author Posted December 18, 2015 Thanks steveholt . The minifigure is an amazing custom by eBay member "onlinesailin", PAD printing on original Lego parts. I'd never use a bootleg, it makes me sad that they even exist . Quote

LegoPercyJ Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 looks fantastic! Really got a 'classic' feel to it! Quote
Kendo Posted December 19, 2015 Author Posted December 19, 2015 Thanks for your comments guys ! I'm glad you like it . Please keep the comments up , I love hearing your opinions and suggestions for this , it's really important to me . Quote
neonic Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Looks great Like those fins on the back. Clever found Don't really have comments or stuff, only maybe you could stretch the 'hood' a few studs... the car looks a bit small compared to the Batmobile in the movie. And maybe another part fits better for the exhaust? It's looks nice already. Makes me feels like to build a car Quote
Brickadier General Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 This looks really great. I'm not familiar with the game, but the fin in the back reminds me of some of the first Batmobiles. Don't worry about painting. This is an extreme case. Quote
Kendo Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 Thanks for your comments Neonic and Brickadier Gen. . Well, it is very similar to the first Batmobiles, many parts of it resemble the Burton Batmobile. Now about the scale , I did some calculations before I started building , using measurements from a replica I found online , converted everything to "minifig scale" and that's pretty much what the size is supposed to be ( width , length , everything ) . Of course, minifigs have much different proportions than real humans , so noone can ever 100% accurately convert something , but I did my best . Keep the comments up guys , I really appreciate your opinions and thoughts Quote
