Okay more striping pics sorry guys didn't know what happened.

Okay this is one of the hardest paint jobs I've ever done the stuff this car is made out of is like flubber when you flash it it goes crazy well same thing I thought the car was going to start smoking at one point so I at a point in painting this I had to take what I got I sanded tis thing off so many times and then I got this and said okay this is stopping time. Well more to come stay tuned. Thanks....Jim

It's amazing that the hinging of the door makes a real difference in making this look like a scale model rather than a toy, really enjoying this thread

Yes and thanks for those pics they have helped a lot as the knob on the door I wouldn't have thought of that small detail so here it is in the model also a redo of this little detail part

Thanks Vac for your imput it was a great help. well stay tuned lots more to come. Thanks.....Jim

Okay did a bit of piddle around in the shop last night will have some pics this afternoon of this. the car is really coming along. wont be long wheels and tires are coming I'm thinking about painting a bat cave back drop for display at Wonderfest would also get a turn table but I think the car may be to big for this be nice if I could mock up a Alfred figure sculpt a head for a 1/6th figure it would be cool to have him dusting or something. Well more to come so stay tuned. Thanks......Jim

Okay, just doing a bit of detail work here's the pics

I used reflective tape on the tail lights they look cool when the light hits the car just rite small door latches small shift. as well for more to come stay tuned. Thanks.......Jim

Okay, lots more to come stay tuned. Thanks......Jim

Looking super! Great project!

kermet · Mar 10, 2016

Thanks, I wish the paint was a bit slicker in some areas but I am lucky to get it looking as good as it does. Like I said this stuff the car is made out of reacts to anything you put on it I waxed it the other day and I thought it was going to do something but I got lucky. This stuff is almost like flubber you know how flubber does when you flash a light at it, well close I used a strong laqure paint about 27 coats in between sanding the reactions the car had but I got it to where it is now. and still got lots to do, just waiting on parts that I can't make..So stay tuned lots more to come. Thanks......Jim

kermet · Mar 25, 2016

Well guys sorry for a stop for a bit but just waiting on parts and funds the car is all sealed up in the shop waiting on the finishing parts there really is a lot more to do finish I am redoing my shop getting things ready for improvements and I can't wait so I will be doing lots more cool models on here as well, but I will finish this build first. I have the canopys to make and putting the wheel and tires on, then I will be doing the batcave back drop for it, I will also build a custom box for going to shows and the bit. well stay tuned there will be more to come just hanging on.
