Tumbler up and running new pic 12/12

[Plasticman]

Awesome work. I would also like to see a comparison of the scale. How does it compare to the screen used tumbler?

Whoa, dude eek:eek
It looks all tumbly and awesomely cool
How are you DOING this?

 

[doody]

same scale as the original. pretty big. As far as i can tell, quite accurate. I've used a couple of transparent overlays, and it all lines up exact, cept that the left air intake air foil need to come down about 1/2". easy fix. I had to take a picture that was exactly at the same distance and angle as another chosen pic of the original to do this, as this car is like a chameleon of sorts, it appears to look different depending on how close you are to it, and how much from the front, side you are standing.

I :love It!!!!!!

This is why I love this board. Great people making stuff that I could only dream of doing.

Doody, did you check out the 1/6 scale toy version of the tumbler over at Hottoys.com.hk ? It's a really nice looking model and probably the closest the rest of will get to one of these bad boys! Has some detailed pics of the interior on there too, not sure how accurate but may be some help to you though.
Also, they do the Batpod, Dude this has to be your next project!! lol!

 

[doody]

Turns out that may actually be my next project.

Wow :confused
Studio scale is one thing, but FULL scale is completely another.
I'll be anxiously waiting for more pics and some running vids of this project.

Very nice work. Makes me want to get the welder out.

 

[darthgordon]

So I've missed a few pages... is this thing street legal?

 

[doody]

I don't know. but there are so many other bizzare cars on the road if you look. cars that are so low to the ground, cars with no real visability. a Zepher for example.

hope to have afterburner w/ flames vid this week.

I just saw your write up on Gizmodo and Jalopnki

Congrats on the publicity, it's well deserved
Love the progress, please keep the pix coming

Two questions that are probably silly, but inquiring minds want to know:
1)Does it have a key to start it?
2)Does it have A/C and/or a heater? I'd think it would get hot in the suit inside there.

 

[darthchiro]

wow did you read the comments on the gizmodo/jalopnik pages? You could cure cancer and these internet K-feds would still attack you and cut you up.

 

[boodha]

Yeah, don't read the comments at those other sights.
The net is full of knuckleheads (I could use harsher words) who throw in their worthless two cents.
the fact of the matter is this- Doody built his own Tumbler, THAT is damn cool
Damn cool. The folks that matter know where it's at

 

[CameraGuyDVX]

that is just fantastic .

you've heard it all already. but that is great to see.

i looked around your site and was astonished at the other great peices you've made.

that jack bust is .... too real.

look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
