AV are these all yours? If so great job. I am curious as to how you managed such a nice bevel on the new plastic pieces (the Fang rotors is what specifically caught my eye). For that matter, what method of cutting do you use when patterning pieces out of the sheet material?

These are great! I love the Rage and the personal glider/jet pack is a neat accessory.

I bet Gotham City Council just hates when he uses the Batty Wagon. Eh, it keeps the blue collar workers paid though.

"I mean he brings in a lot of crooks but he tears up the pavement every where he goes. Its costing the city a bundle every time he drives around in that thing!"

AV, always great to see your entries. You have a definitive way of bringing lines together. The Batty Wagon is no exception. Great job. Serves a purpose and makes total sense as a custom. I know a while back you said you hadn't found/made your UA Batman. Has that changed? I see a couple pics of MM Movie Bats in your pics.

Ol man: yup, it's all my own work on stuff I bought myself. My thumbs have the scars to prove it, lol. The BatMobile Begins is the Tyco R/C one with a complete gutting and refit of the interior with the cabin seats from the DTC Ice Tank thingus.

As to fashioning new bits, I use this 1mm plexi I find at Hobby Lobby for like $3 a square yard. I simply draw a shape on it with my x-acto and punch it out from the other side with my thumbnail. I usually glue two pieces together for strength, but not always. Scuffing the surface before gluing makes for a near-unbreakable bond too. And I just refine everything with my file set and eyeballs. The pics are way more forgiving than reality is, lol. And as soon as I get an engine cover in the mail, I've got a 2nd BatCopter in mind.

Poison: We'll just say that the Gotham Municipal Works Department gets a decent donation and break on construction/repair supplies from Wayne Enterprises.

TR: Nope, that Batfig ain't in use any longer. I've been without anybody in that role for a couple years now, I think; which is why I've been submitting all these vehicles with nobody but Robin to show them off. But, I'm working on something. I need to monkey out how to make the capes, then I should be good.

Oh, and thanks for the love, gents. I really do appreciate it. And Ol man; take a gander at the stuff I've done for Robin too.
