[MOC] Batman's The Tumbler

[Pellaeon]

Took me long enough... but I've got instructions! Well, build photos at least! So if you'd like to recreate my Tumbler, check out the flickr set:

I also took the opportunity to give the driver a roomier cockpit, by replacing the 6x8 plate on the bottom with a recessed vehicle base. Batman approves!

If you do build a copy, or a Tumbler based on mine, please do share photos!

Great work! I've tried to build this at minifigure scale and I agree it is quite a challenge.

Robin needs to be seated in the tumbler too. like mine. i haven't posted it yet

Thanks for sharing the instructions Pellaeon! I might have to try to build your MF-scale one and take a group shot with my own Tumbler (The Big Brother).

This is outstandingly cool, thanks for the free instructions, I will have to build it in my free time, keep up the good work!

I didnt want to start a new thread. But I finally ordered the bricks and built my own version of Pellaeon's Tumbler. The tumbler parts was my first batch BL order so I was missing a few pieces. I scrounged some tiefighters and batches of loose pieces I have in a bin to add a little detail and try to finish the Tumbler. I also got too many of the black axle wheels, not realizing I needed a pin hole type black wheel so I used a gray set for the front as a temporary fix until I get the black wheels.

I added two batarang holders inside the cockpit.

Excellent work! I'm glad you're enjoying it, and that taking all those "instruction" photos wasn't a waste of my time.

BTW, I've made one change since then, which is to add one of these to the rear engine: [ Black Technic Hub / Handle 1 x 1 ]. It looks a bit better, I think. I'll try to snap a pic when I get home.

Sorry, that one is a lot of work to disassemble. It's a much easier build though, and I took a few pictures of the more complex assemblies, which you can see in my photostream starting with this one.

It has been a while but I didnt want to start a new thread. I put up my version of Pellaeon's tumbler on Cuusoo.
