Working out more details on the interior. If any of you have "The Art and Making of The Dark Knight Trilogy" book, you can find a similar picture like my model on page 60. Its what I've been using for reference these days.

Batpod? Been there, done that   thanks for the kind ccompliment!
Now I don't wish to discuss the full details of this Batpod Build, I am only sharing the photo's for the first time after a year because 'I" am personally proud of how it came out, even though I didnt get to finish it. What you see is the product of 14 solid days of work, and about $600 in materials. Static build.
The build was ingenious if I do say so myself, because it sported an endoskeleton that supported the entire chassis, you never saw this endoskeleton since it it was covered by all the galvanized 5" piping I think if i had 3 more weeks, i could have fooled anyone that it was a REAL Batpod.
Anyway, BACK ON TRACK! :p
I bought some 1/4 copper tubing that will act as the round tube in my chassis build in the 1/6 scale model. !/4 isn't quite to the exact scale I need, but its the closest stuff I could come by without having to print the tubing out of paper, and try folding it up, and I'm sorry, but I'm just not that devoted.
Simple stuff, bought at Lowe's.
And to make sure that the pipes are bent correctly I started 1 of a few full scale ortho's of the chassis. I need an upwards shot, that will come soon.
That's my wife and my daughter, for size reference of the poster, printed here at home, using pdf forge. (freeware)
so yeah, thats basically my update for now.
