There's only been a few actual Supermobiles based on this design
in production... Corgi did one back in the '70's/80s that was Hot Wheels
sized (I had one) and then after "Superfriends" became "Super Powers"
the toys released a 1/18-ish scale Supermobile but they mucked with
the design and released it without fists.

Here's some screencaps from the original Superfriends cartoon episode,
"Lex Luthor Strikes Back", showing Superman using the Supermobile after
some sun-creatures take away his powers by turning the sun red.

I wanted to capture that same flavor in my custom. Here's some WIP shots.
I still don't have the fists done yet, but I do have the parts in mind and the attachment
method, think its' going to rock!

FYI I'm still working on my other stuff (Cadillacs and Dinosaurs) haven't given up
on those yet, just doing this in the meantime... this project has actually taken me longer!

Pretty good start. IT is going to have the fists right? It has to have the fists.

Oh yeah. This is just a teaser. Hence the "WIP" title.

Wanted people to see what I've got so far and see if I'm
headed in the right direction or not...

Ok, I've attached the fists now, see what you think!

"Don't worry Aquaman!"
Image

"With the Supermobile..."
Image

"I'll have all the power I need!"
Image

"These new blasters will help even the odds quite a bit!"
Image

"Superman to Justice League launch bay..."
Image

"Ready to launch!"
Image

"Whooooooshh!"
Image

(Card inserted to achieve same angle in photo as in comic and many screenshots)
Image

"Uh-oh! Trouble! Need to come out swinging!"
Image

"Let's see them try and take me on now!"
Image

"Bam!"
Image

"Pow!"
Image

"Mission Accomplished! Well done, Superman!"
Image
