BvS Batmobile

Finished this up the other day. I'll work on the base for it this weekend. What are we calling this? The Benmobile? Afflakmobile? BvSmobile?

Lights are a real nice touch. Going to add a base? The Superman/Batman logo would be nice.

Thanks Toad. It will be a small diorama type base. Torn up blacktop street, curb/sidewalk with lighted lamp post.

Very cool....What is it, a toy or a model ?

Did you just add lights ?

This is the 1/25 scale model kit by Moebius.

Ah, ok....Just looked it up. Nice job. looking forward to the diorama !

The media trashed this movie, but I didn't mind it too much. Affleck did a pretty good job in my opinion.

I enjoyed it. Was not a fan of this Batmobile, but it's growing on me. Keaton's is still the best.

I picked up the Jada Die cast version of this (not a model so much as a build-and-play), and this version certainly beats the Jada hands down. Very nice work.

Robiwon, I agree - I wasn't a big fan of this Batmobile until I watched the documentary on the Batman V Superman blu-ray that shows the building of this Batmobile. Then I was truly amazed by it.

The base is further along than what these pictures show. In fact, it's almost done. But here is what I started with. I grabbed a wood picture frame from HobbyLobby and removed the glass.

For the asphalt, I used a roll of cork, also from HobbyLobby. It was cut to size. I took some chunks out and made a few rips. Save the chunks as they can be used for debris later after painting.


I then marked on the backing board where the holes were. I glued RR ballast down to show under the potholes and cracks.



The cork was then glued down and the whole thing painted flat black. It will be weathered later.


Next I created a sidewalk from foam core board. I drew on some lines to show the curb and expansion gaps. I took my Xacto and cut these slits. I then took a ball point pen and ran it along the cuts. This deepened the cuts and rounded them for the next step.


The sidewalk section was glued in place. It was then covered in a napkin soaked in diluted white glue. This gave texture to the sidewalk and also allowed the napkin to settle down into the joints.


And finally you can see my mock up of a streetlamp in the last picture. Yes, it is lighted as well.


I should be able to finish this all up this weekend. Thanks for following along!

awesome! glad to see it here. It's become one of my favorite Batmobiles!

Been a bit under the weather this past weekend. More progress made though. Getting close to the finish line on this build. Still need to add "street trash" and do a little more weathering.
