I'm always excited when I see a "Batmobile" image next to this thread...it means something new has been posted!

I'm like Eric, at first I did a double take, because I wasn't sure what my old eyes where showing me. But as usual, it is great!

Funny, that's EXACTLY what we all see in our minds everytime you post an update on the build!

Now if you could just make one of your completed Batmobile models "just appear" like that under my Christmas tree this year....I'd REALLY be impressed then!

Any chance we'll see wider "hot rod" type tires on this model by the time it's finished instead of the...

Ya know, I thought that line would be for working brakes....but then thought...NAH why would anyone go that far......guess I was wrong!

What all do you plan to have functional on this car? And when will you make a 1:1 functional car....that would be easier than trying to find 1:12 humans to drive this one!

jctech,

The progress on your 1/4 Bat is going wonderfully. Please posting photos!

I went back to see how your 1/12 buck did, and was amazingly surprised and disappointed to see it went for only $49.99. I wish someone had given you a much fairer price for it.

Hello 66BAT,

The inner tubing you see is actually the Brake line for the right side of the car. The Brake pedal is pushing brake fluid into the system.
All I have to find now is a quarter scale person to press the brake pedal while sitting in the car.

Nice new stuff! What's the clear-ish tubing attached to the frame in the upper pic??

Looking forward to more updates on this thread. Following these big project threads is apparently a long-term commitment (like Don C's thread about the progress of the "street-worthy" '89 movie car he's building). Worth the wait, though.

Hello Dave and Folks,

Now that all the renovations at home are almost done I can go back in the garage and get back to my Batmobile project, I had time to tkink about it and i will redoo a lot of pieces including the wheels and rims. I will have pictures in a couple of days and start having fun again. BTW I have a 1/12 scale Batmobile Balza wood body for sale on ebay, Check it out.

Cheers,

Hello Dave and Hello folks !

We did not took any breaks at all renovating and stuff but we will be back soon, next week I'll have some pics of the first mold piece ! Just after The Fan Expo 2009 in Toronto...
Since then I am always looking for 1/4 scale objects that will help me complete my final setup.
Last week I found this Trolley jack You should see it under the batmobile.. you will soon.

Since a real turbine is made of metal,why not just "make" a retractable hitch that is "exhaust-proof" out of a similar "metal". It could have a "ceramic" ball joint on the trailer side to prevent heat from being "transferred".You could use a shield in front of the boat (but still mounted to the Batboat trailer) that looks like the folding bullet shield B & R use. I'm sure there must be some sort of special glass that could withstand...

A 1/4 scale duplicate of a real trailer hitch, with a major Bat modification. The box tubing opening would be just a hair higher than the ball height so that it can be retracted back into itself. More like the slasher blade up front but you don't risk hitting the ground like a flip up style.

Hello,
My name is Jean Carl Gionet and I am glad to finally join the Batmobile message board.
I would like to share some photos of the 1/4 scale Batmobile I am currently working on.
The model will have to be separated in differents pieces so I will be able to create a fiberglass mold for each part,
Since it is still in one piece, here we go...
