Found some old pics lying in a drawer today, thought you guys might enjoy a trip through the Wayback Machine. These pictures are so old they were shot with a film camera. I had to scan some 3x5's to put 'em on line. So, they're circa 1995 or thenabouts. Hopefully I haven't already posted these at one time or another.

The Batmobiles would hold 2 figures. The 1950 car was my first near-total scrachbuild; only the wheels and axles came from somewhere else. The 1990's car was a heavily modified 1995 Trans Am model kit. The wheels and tires came from a early 90's 1/18 Mustang concept car. Then I didn't like the wheels, so I just blanked 'em out until I could put something else in place.

These were a part of a series of Batmobiles I did back in the day. I still have the cars; I may have to pull them out of storage and take some pics.

Next up is the 1980 Batplane, a heavily modified Conquest. Hey, it was the only fighter jet available at the time. I removed the cockpit tub and built a new on to accept a small passenger in the rear of the cockpit. New wings, rudder, and a piece of steel coathanger for a pitot tube. This was before making decals at home; the logos on the plane are more or less decopaged in place. Included in the pics are some drawings I made while deciding what mods to make.

Projects like these went a long way to convince me to learn how to build from scratch.

Yep, I built a Quinjet before the one I'm currently plugging away on. This one is, surprise surprise, a heavily modified Joe shuttle. The tile detail on the hull was all filled in with carpenters' wood putty and sanded smooth. The interior tub was removed and a new interior scratchbuilt. Seating for five available through the removable canopy.

How old is this custom? You could still buy a shuttle off the shelf at the time.

Nice work.

And when posting multiple customs in the same day, please be sure to post them in the same thread.

That Quinjet turned out quite well!

BTW does anyone know why it's called the Quinjet? Seems like an odd name...
