It looks like it's been removed from the site, so I hope that's problem solved for you, B Rick. If it comes back up, you can PM me to remove the links here if they get posted again.

Thanks CorneliusMurdock.

It seems the item has indeed been removed. It was up until half an hour ago. I've also contacted the Lego-ideas team and luckilly got a quick reply that this isn't an issue for my project for Lego-ideas. The rules state that I am not allowed to sell the design before official release. Not that I am that arrogant to think my project will become an official release, but you'll never know... ;)

Wow, this is one of if not the best 66 Batmobile MOC in minifigure scale. I was just wondering how you did the slopes under the car? What bricks did you use to attach them?

Would be great if you show your appreciation in helping me get 10000 votes on Lego-ideas for this project. By voting and, maybe even more important, sharing the project ;)

I have been thinking about sharing stuff since somebody stole my design to make a profit out of it on the www... I usually like sharing tips and tricks as can be seen by the many pics I always post on my buildthreads. I'm not eager to do that anymore... I'll make an exception for now, because this is a rather simple tip ;)

Just use any of the snot parts Lego is overflowing their sets with lately. I've used these to attach the 1x1x4 slopes:

Hi guys!

Long time no speak. I haven't been into Lego's lately due to lack of time and catching up on life untill a few weeks ago. I got myself the Ecto 1, and I'm loving it. Already did some modifications which I'll show you some other time.

I also have some good news about my batmobile on the lego-ideas site. A few weeks ago it got chosen to be Staff Pick! What an honour... And that means it got featured on the main page of Lego-ideas. That seemed the break I really needed. My project has been seen by lot's of people and that generated a lot of voters. Really a lot. Because of all the interest the car has been ranked top 4 - 3 - 2 - and 1 in their popularity charts. Number 1 for almost 2 weeks in a row! So the car is still on the frontpage, but it's slipping due to the gaining popularity of some other great projects...

I'm really fascinated how these internetvoting system works. And I think it's one of Lego's better marketing strategies. I came across an article regarding Lego's comunity-strategies and was very happy to see the writers used my Batmobile-project as an example, generating more publicity!

Thanks to all who have cast their votes on my project, and to all who will :)

Wow, I love the way you've managed to capture the angle of the windscreens perfectly. Just like an earlier commenter, I thought you'd found some weird rare piece, but no, you've just combined existing pieces in a clever way. However, I was wondering- is there any way to add more red detailing onto the grill? It's not as accurate as the rest of the set. But that's a minor gripe, and regardless, I would buy this set in a heartbeat.

I hope this project makes it! I've been supporting your project for a while, but I only just found this thread.

Thanks N_Cat! Maybe the batmobile could use a little more red. Dunno, really... In reality the car doesn't have that much red on it, but I can see what you mean. In Lego it's always a matter of what you have to leave out, especially in a relative small model as this. I've designed it with possible production and playability in mind. And I can imagine that if it was up to Lego they would print some red lines where nescessary. Thnaks for the support!

I am Mr. 5600!

Good luck!

THanks Jersey Brick Guy! 5600 is a mighty fine number! :classic:

This is great! I really like the smooth, cool look of the batmobile! The building design is also Wonderful! This is the best 1966 batmobile I have seen! Great job!

Thank you LegoPercyJ! Don't forget to cast your vote on Lego ideas :wink: (link in signature)

Cheers!

Y'know, that is completely fair. Good luck!

Hi Rick, 

 

Would you happen to be selling the instructions for this one? My profile somehow isn't allowed to send PMs, but I'd love to hear back from you on this. It's absolutely gorgeous! You can find me on IG as @zaidsgarage

 

Thanks
