| Actually that isnt such a bad idea BWD, Sadly i glued the model down to a board last night, and have already made a minor cut on the passenger side front headlight area. But the driver side is still unscaved, maybe if im real gentle i can still mold half of the car (the driver side) Honestly all i need out of this model are the area's that have no measurements available. The detail -such as every bolt, or screw, or even those tiny vents right in front of the canopy really dont matter to me at the moment. Details as fine as that will come after i start the modeling clay work. So what im trying to do is only cut up the passenger side of the model. Keeping the driver side of the model pefectly intacked for detail refference later on. Any input on this guys? Do you think its a worthy effort?

| Awesome Shaggy! This is the route I plan to take if/when I start mine. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it! Where do you plan on taking the length out at? Did you mean length or width? Good luck!

| Hey Maul, definately not the width, that baby has to have a wide A$$, lotta junk in the trunk if you will. I will be taking length off of the full size version once i get around to doing it, but first i wanna build the small version to see i am going to run into any expensive mistakes with the full version, ya know? I got thru cutting up the passenger side of the model this past weekend, i tried to slice the canopy right along with it, but had no success, the D@&* glue i bought for models, and let dry for over 24 hours was still goupy when i was trying to cut into it, so i said screw it, and pulled the canopy out of the way. I made a total of 34 cuts (i think) so i plan to make 34 ribs, the original thought was 37 ribs, but 2 ribs were removed when i got to the wings, and 1 cut was way to far forward of the headlight area to make, so i subtracted that one. I dont have anything to do at work today, our Printer screwed up so im waiting on the repair man to come out, so i will spend today scanning in those peices that i cut (all 34) and then creating the information for the Ribs to share with everyone.

| Ok, the parts are cut, scanned in, and partially created, i have a WHOLE LOT of cleaning up to do, and testing to see if all the ribs align the way they should. I took pleanty of pictures of the whole process, i will post them as soon as i get them developed. Until then, here is a sneak preview of how the ribs look like.

| OK THEY ARE READY! The file is in Adobe Illustrator 8, it will allow you to access all cross sections of the AMT 1:25 scale batmobile. They're are a total of 34 ribs, BUT ribs 19 thru 22 have been removed (these are the ribs that are located right around the side intake areas) because i am still working on the measurements int this area. Something doesnt seem right, so im triple checking that area. The ribs when i cut them were spaced 0.25 of an inch apart from one another. Also this file does NOT include the canopy instructions. I still have to find a way to document that part. I cant seem to paste the file here so i guess anyone who wants the file will just have to email me and i will send you the file. Have fun!
