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... I will try to keep you posted on the evolution of this project. The Batboat is also on the bench it is a perfect 1/4 scale comes with trailer and assessories made by my partner in crime from the Saguenay, David Ferguson. You can contact us JC (Batmobile) or David (Batboat) at jcteck@sympatico.ca Last Edited By: jctech 10/31/09 9:19 PM. Edited 3 times.

Will you be offering these for sale? What are the dimensions of the Batmobile and Batboat? Put me on your waiting list if you have one. Please keep us updated. Thanks! Steve

The rader wheels will be under process as soon as the technical design will be completed. It has not been easy to find the tires (7 inches almost) ! The 1/4 scale Conley V8 would be fantastic under the hood. Jean Carl The Boat is 53.5 inches / 1358.9 mm long by 21.605 in / 548.8 mm beam (width), 18.0 in / 457.2 mm hull (when completed) The keel will be a perfect representation of the first Aqua-lift of the famous Crestflight V-174 Super Sport desing by Mel Whitley and build by Glastron. We are serching for any kind of documentation of technical data about the V6 Mercruiser 200hp and its Sterndrive, anything that could help us complete the batboat power system. David Here's a schetch of what the trailer side will look like.. If I follow my frist idea, Dave

I will post some more pics from the side view soon. This is not the final product, evething here will be used to built molds and it is only one part of the process. Thank you again. Jean carl

Would you happen to have any photos of it being built from the ground up and all the way to primer as you've depicted? I always love to see any progress shots of an artists original work. How many sections do you think the vehicle would be divided in to produce it in kit form? GIINK

A step by step in photo... Basically I used the same technique as the Batmobile (foam core) plus foam induction. I'll keep you posted, Dave

Do you have scanned photos of the car and loaded them in a CAD-programm?!? How do you have designed the section-view-ribs? Only by "cutting" a 3D-model? Are you able to cut with a laser or water-jet? Would be interesting how do you "start"! Greetz from Berlin/Germany, Oliver
