adotnamedstud Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 This all started as one big funny story. My day so far has been filled with attempting to make the perfect Batmobile. Throughout the ideas and the inevitable trial and error with chassis issues, length issues, width issues, the fact/question IF Batman will fit in, and topped with the color issues. (Note, Batman works in black... And sometimes very, very, dark grey. But it turns out bley can be in the mix!) I made tanks, snowmobiles, cars, buggies, etc. All my ideas for the perfect Batmobile kinda went down the toilet. So I took a break intending to get back to the project months later. But due to my dumb acts of stupidity which can very much turn out into genius struck me. I really didn't like LEGO's Batman v Superman Batmobile. So I scrambled around my bins, floors, and failed sorting attempts to build this Batmobile. Filling my obviously already messy desk as you will see. The Batmobile as of July 5th is still a work in progress but it'll probably be done by the 6th or 7th depending on how hard I try without screwing up. Without further ado here's my cluttered desk featuring my WIP Batmobile! In being the biggest perfectionist as possible. I've already altered the rear design two or three times while writing this post. But yeah, all my gripes with LEGO's Batmobile will possibly become my own. In doing this act of sheer madness, I realize some aesthetics of the film's vehicle are just sometimes mathematically impossible due to scale. But once/if I finish this and find ways to say, cover the wheels. I'd totally bust this out and fix it just to then post it back here. Because I really do want the best BvS Batmobile in LEGO. (No matter how greedy that makes me sound at least it's got me doing something this summer. ) C&C very welcome too! Quote
mantebose Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Even from start it looks much better then the official one. But, as for me, i'd like to see it fully in black :) Quote
adotnamedstud Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 Even from start it looks much better then the official one. But, as for me, i'd like to see it fully in black :) Thanks! :) I guess this will serve as an update too. The colors are dark grey and bley. It IS complete. Some components just need adjustments as in colors and such. At the start, I did build a working windscreen that opens. But the cowl got in the way, it however did work for a regular minifigure head which is what got me very annoyed. So the windscreen is an X-Wing one. I am/should work on covering up that back piece of the engine better too since the wings reveal it. Other than that it's done and as correct as I possibly good make it. Would love to see the finished product! It should be up some time today! Quote
adotnamedstud Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 After a trip to take photos, I shared some with personal friends and they said the BvS Batmobile was black... But, here it is anyways. I guess my next project will be making it black? My only gripe with this is the windscreen/cockpit. I did what I could but I still really would've liked the BvS opening effect. And the fact that the windscreen kinda makes it look like Chibli. Anyways, here are some shots and the link for the rest are on the bottom.

Legocity2713 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I like it, but it definitely should be black with a few dark bluish gray highlights. Nice use of the saws, definitely keep those when redoing it in black. Quote
mantebose Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Pretty nice and I'm sure, that in black it will look more awesome :) And yeah, need to think about alternative windscreen. Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Really nice! Sparks that urge to start building my own. Quote
