The Tumbler Begins

New year new project, a 1/6 Studio Scale Tumbler used in Batman Begins.
A few screencaps of the model used in the movie,





The chassis of my Tumbler so far,



I’m gonna use aluminum to build this model, it wil be equipped with RC stuff and probably an combustion engine. And it will be more accurate than the original 1/6 scale Tumbler.

Let the fun begin

Coooooolll !!!!

What size is the hot toys tumbler ?

[QUOTE=Lamboman;2073394]What size is the hot toys tumbler ?

it's 1:6 scale from hot toys

Wow this is going to be good and in aluminum too. Look forward to seeing your progress.

Thanks people

Yeah, the aluminum makes this propject a pretty laborious job.
But it is an awesome material to work with,

That would be great if you can post them

They used an RC model??? I thought I had heard that all the stunt work was actually done by full scale Tumber....though, now that I say that, I'd love to have seen at when the Tumbler was ripping across rooftops!! LOL.

Cool project!

Im working on getting the pics out of my old computer, will post them as soon as i do.

Looking forward to this project! Subscribed

Enviable building skills! Watching this thread. And wow, I never knew it was an RC that they drove across the rooftops either. I have to watch that scene again. Great model builders.

Try this.

should bring you behind the scenes.

New Deal did a great job on this. theres also some build pics

The 1/6 scale Tumbler was used in this shot of the movie, very difficult to see the model but it should be here



This is the beast New Deal made for The Dark Knight,

Thanks for the video link - that was unbelievably realistic! Robbie TPC looking forward to seeing your build progress. Great subject! I love scale RCs - it's like a combination of art and technology -- form and function!

This is very cool.

I think I saw the new deal one at the Legendary Pictures booth at Comic Con in 2011

Here are the pics of my Hot Toys one.
Wish it has an RC features in it, like to move the flaps or something.

Definitely keeping on eye on this thread - keep it up

Very cool!

I thought I had read that the studio ones were 1:5 or something odd. Dunno if I read or dreamt it though. Yes, I dream about Batman.

The studio ones are 1:3

Awesome! I am all over this WIP, no doubt!

could you send me the files please

Great,love the armature.

do you have the paper blueprints to make 1/6 model of the tumbler?
