Batcave MOC

[danstraindepot]

Here is our LEGO Batcave.

I realize there have been many amazing Batcave MOCS, but I wanted to give it a go anyhow. This is about 2 months of my LEGO building time. Lights are from Brickstuff.

The biggest building challenge, besides the pure size, was to try to have decent rock work, and lots of different angles going on. Not sure the photos do that justice, but I was pretty happy with the overall result.

I drew inspiration from some other MOC's I a have seen, and various incarnations of the Batcave in the comics. Also I have some minor homages to the previous LEGO Batcaves worked in, the Sewer from the first one, some of the details from the new Classic Batcave, and ..... very little I suppose from the 6860 set. I tried to go for a 'working' Batcave. Something with labs, work-spaces, etc.

The wood section is supposed to be a leftover from the original foundation which was simply built up around. And I thought it was nice to add a little different color visually.

There is a working elevator to an updated Wayne Manor that sits directly above the Batcave, I'll be adding photos of that soon.

Awesome! My favorite part is the little lab section- it plays up the "World's Greatest Detective" aspect of Batman.

[ToniMontana]

Wow!!

[GunwitchUK]

That is absolutely awesome dude. The amount of detail is fantastic, including the computer screens and the bats

[danstraindepot]

Thank you all very much for the positive responses! Helps one keep building =)

That has some great depth to it. So many cave MOCs are very shallow. You're definitely "feels" like a cave. Awesome!

Here is a shot of the Wayne Manor above the Batcave:

Hopefully this is correct!

This is a work in progress, I am basically building up the outside first. Then I will come back and finish the interiors. The main floor is stationary, and the 2nd floor & roof will come off in 4 different sections each (modular style). The elevator will work, and that will be stationary through and go from the 2nd level into the batcave. I am also pre-wiring for lights.

OMG, you built Wayne manor aswell!!! You loon, a very talented loon though

[danstraindepot]

Thanks! ... I Think =)

One more shot that shows them both a little better:

Oh man, this is absolutely incredible!! This is kinda what I want mine to look like when I'm done, but I am SO far from being anywhere near this! Way to go!!

[peedeejay]

Stunning! Very well done.

I like the overall 'feel' of the cave. This puts it in a spot my top lego bat cave MOCs.

Now time to start working on a bat cave of my own...

[Brickadier General]

Looks fantastic. The lighting below really feels "batcavey" and adds to the atmosphere. That's 2 months well-spent!

[Junior Shark]

Aaaaaand you built a killer Wayne Manor? You are a god.

[Gunman]

Great moc mate... I really like the Manor there. The rockwork in the cave is well made too

Gorgeous!

Just wow...

[sander1992]

That looks good.

The colors of the cave and manor are great.

There are a lot of details to discover.

I like the waterfall. It looks really good.

[fordtruckin]

This batcave is amazing. The realistic look and the details included are astounding. I like a lot of batcave mocs but this is my favorite by far. You have set the bar very high. Great job!

[danstraindepot]

You are all so kind, thank you very much for the nice words of encouragement!

[whaplodedave]

Wow just as I find one great mod another comes along , this is stunning and I wish that I could make something anywhere near this quality one day

[danstraindepot]

Thank you all. I hope to have an update on Wayne Manor soon. Nearly have the roof & also first floor interiors completed.
