| Yes mate there is always an urge to build something else. Its amazing to be able to use the car and make videos, the reactions on peoples faces make it worthwhile and addictive. I get mobbed anywhere i go.

"Excellent Vertigo keep going mate. How are your feeling with project. Sometimes it feels like so much effort and that you wish there was more done and sitting ready in front of you. Dont forget there is plenty of other smaller fun bits and pieces etc this can help motivate and add enjoyment back to the project. At the early stages it is easy to get more overwhelmed by the amount needing done compared to the amount you have achieved. I am Very confident you will deal with this all and take the project in your stride. Dont forget to re assess your plans eg wiring loom running etc at an early stage even just power lines and incorporate it at an early stage. You will be thankful at a later date."
hey paulwayne,
Thanks for the advise."
My building philosophy is based on goals but my actual building is based on a self-contract where I have agreed to spend a minimum of one hour per day. I may go a week without doing anything on my Tumbler but I bank my build time on my desk calendar. So some days, I may work 10 or more hours to clear my build time debt. I move toward my goals but I build in the moment to moment of the experience.
How I came to be building my Tumbler.
December of 2012 while shopping in Walmart for a gift in the toy
department I came across a plastic Batman Tumbler. As I fondled the
toy I felt a rush of excitement. My heart began to quicken, a
cascading avalanche of past thoughts and mental images took hold of my
consciousness, possessing me to conclude in a few seconds that I was
going to build a full size Tumbler.
In those few seconds I just knew. I didn’t know how. I didn’t even
truly know why. Just, that I was going to build a life-sized Batman
Tumbler. Looking back, I can now say that it was an eclectic,
emotional, and sensory epiphany. Certainly sounds like the definition:
a usually sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature
or meaning of something (2)an intuitive grasp of reality through
something (as an event) usually simple and striking (3)an illuminating
discovery, realization, or disclosure (4)a revealing scene or moment.
“A cascading avalanche of past thoughts and mental images took hold of
my consciousness, possessing me to conclude in a few seconds that I
was going to build a full size Tumbler.”
Here is a copy of a posting of mine from 12-19-2013
Hello Everyone, So, how did I reach the point that I believe I have a
reasonable chance of completing a full size Tumbler. conclude
in a few seconds that I was going to build a full size Tumbler.
I bought two toy Tumblers and went home. That evening I watched the
first Batman that featured the Tumbler with the plastic version
sitting on my lap. The Tumbler in the movie that I once held only a
visual appreciation for had changed, blending with the model into an
enhanced vibrant combination of sensory qualities that impressed and
appealed to a perceptual experience that I can best describe as very
pleasurable satisfaction. Having verified why I was going to build the
Tumbler I shifted to how I was going to build the Tumbler. My Tumbler
philosophy emerged. I would build the Tumbler not as a labor but as a
pleasure with an unhurried moment to moment appreciation of the
experience and no set goal as to time of completion. Humbled by the
Tumblers complexity and a lack of historical perspective, I spent the
next year doing a detailed literature and mechanical review of the
Tumbler. Reviewed and studied internet, videos, books, drawings,
sketches, models, toys, and thousands of photographs. When my searches
began to produce mostly redundant information I felt ready to move to
the next phase. I figured out what design and construction skills I
would need. Enhanced the ones I possessed and mastered the ones I
needed. Feeling that I had paid sufficient dues to justify my
confidence I bought steel on December 16th, 2013 and plan to start my
build 1-January 2014.
I plan to work a minimum of one hour a day but
realize the exhilaration from the physical construction may extend
that significantly. vertigo

I have to admit that in the few post i had suspect about how accurate it will be at the end,
but at the end it turned out an AMAZING work!
It looks very cool!
And i'm impressed how fast have you done it! Bravo!!!
