Posted March 15, 201113 yr I took everyone's comments, and put them in a blender. And thus this monstrosity was born. I also added many things of my mind. Remember. I enjoy making this stuff with one type of color (bley not dark grey, light bley not light grey) so it limits which parts I can use by half. An overview shot. A shot of the figures. I added: Robin, Tim Drake, and I used the Henry Jones face for Alfred instead of the Dumbledore face. Showcasing how the sections can be taken apart. The main section can not be taken apart unfortunatly. A shot of the sewer exit closed. I recently (as of today) added a lock tile from Sirius Black's Escape and a light bley chain. And now it's open! One thing I wished I did is make the sewer much higher so that the Batmobile can fit through. The Batmobile: It has a working missle, storage space for all of Batman's gadgets and two seats for Batman and Robin. Another shot of the Batmobile. I added an extra sticker from the Tumbler and placed it on the car. It looks okay. One thing I forgot to mention is that if you lower the wings and look from above, you can sort of see a bat. The turning display area inspired my the film Batman Forever. (Don't worry, the plates are flat now) The turning mechanism inside. Also there is some mechanic equipment. The entirely new section featuring: A stone rock with a mounted security camera, a weight-lifting area, and Robin's Jet. (NOT A SCUBA JET) A closer shot of the weights. (almost an identical design to the LEGO Batcave) A crane with some evidence inside. (A Poison Ivy seed is currently inside the box) The redux cannon. It is mostly based off of the cannon from the LEGO Aquabase Invasion. (Aqua Raiders) The evidence chamber featuring a close up of my favorite villain, Two-Face! The giant dinasour. It took me a while to find this one. I found it in This set. The Batcomputer with a Two-Face coin on display, a gold bar, lights, two computers, levers, and more. Batman's equipment including a grapple-gun with mounted light. Note: I recently removed those two yellow signs to the far right. They looked ugly. The trapdoor into the prison. Note: It is identical to the Scorpion Pyramid set. The Batsuit display area. Just some random things, nothing of importance really. The spiral staircase. I made it lock by extending the second floor. The Jail Cell can fit two or three minifigures with no accesories. The Batcave in action! (The Joker and his goon are obscured by the sewer door. Now, questions, comments? I can easily extend the Batcave by adding more plates. So if there are any more ideas, I would be glad to do a second redux. I don't know how to do a giant Lincoln penny (Trust me, I've tried) so please do not reccomend that. If you really want me to, show me how to make it first. Thank you, montyofmusic.
March 16, 201113 yr This is beautiful! Great technique ...very good job! I love the batman close up ...impressive picture!
March 16, 201113 yr Love this! I love the batcomputer and all the details, may I ask what significance the giant dinosaur has? This is awesome, you should definatly extend it with a hanger with batcopter possibly.

This is awesome, you should definatly extend it with a hanger with batcopter possibly. The giant dinasour has always been in the Batcave for some unknown reason thats beyond me. He also has a giant penny, but there was no way I could replicate that. I never thought about doing a batcopter, but I have always thought about doing a batwing except I need the parts to do so. I'll try the batcopter in the near future.
March 19, 201113 yr A huge improvement over your previous version, I think it really helped that you decided to do your own thing instead of trying to emulate the official Batcave set as closely as possible. I'm glad you found the dinosaur, that's the same one I use for my Batcave. The giant penny and the animatronic dinosaur are some of those classic trophies, and there are several backstories as to each. I much prefer the whole thing put together than when its split into its modules. If I may be so bold, I did a version of the Batcave sometime back here. It's a mod of the official set and I will admit owning it is a huge advantage, but maybe there are individual areas that you want to borrow some elements from.
