Hello Everyone,

After all that has been discussed and with everything you now know: IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE THINKING ABOUT STARTING A BAT VEHICLE BUILD, MAKING PREPARATIONS TO START A BAT VEHICLE BUILD, AND/OR ACTUALLY STARTING A BAT VEHICLE BUILD? We would love to hear from you about your Bat Vehicle dreams and aspirations, your planning and preparations, progress towards actually building a Bat Vehicle, and/or any comments or suggestions. vertigo

Hello Everyone,

This is a good tools, materials, and process overview in relation and relevancy to Bat Vehicles from a sculptural perspective.

When I think of the Tumbler I consider it in many ways but mostly from the mechanical and sculptural perspectives. While searching for Tumbler information on line I found a really good article in Sculpture Magazine: January 1998 Vol. 17 No.1 titled:  25 Years: The Evolution of Sculpture Tools by John de Marchi

1.    The Evolution of Sculpture Tools - Sculpture.org

www.sculpture.org/documents/scmag98/sm-tools.shtml

o    Cached

... tools and methods for sculpture can have a dramatic effect on the way artists ...
proficient with hand tools, and the decline in the average quality of such tools.

This overview article covers 25-years of technology, tools, materials, and process advances that are relevant to all sculptural media including metal and fiberglass.

(1) The technology revolution, in particular, computers and micro-electronics;

(2) The decline in the use of hand tools and conversely, a greater reliance on power tools;

(3) Access to a tremendous range of materials and processes; and

(4) The issue and practice of safety, both personal and industrial.

Hello Everyone,

Here is an excellent 14-page composites overview paper that might be of use to anyone planning or building a Bat Vehicle that involves fiberglass or other composites by Tim Palucka and Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent from CalTech

History of composites – overview

1st generation (1940s): Glass Fiber Reinforced Composites

2nd generation (1960s): High Performance Composites in the post-Sputnik era

3rd generation (1970s & 1980s): The Search for New Markets and the Synergy of Properties

4th generation (1990s): Hybrid Materials, Nanocomposites and Biomimetic Strategies

Summary: The Impact of Composites on Materials Research

I've actually thought about the very same thing recently. Not that I'd like to build one, but was researching to see if would be feasible. The main obstacle is that this new Batmobile is wider than the tumbler; at 11 or 12 feet wide. The maximum width allowed on the street is 8' 6".

Hey dboboc,
What can be visualized can be realized.
It is possible in full-sized.
It is possible in street legal. Just requires a scale reduction of approximately 1/3.

Hello everyone,
Models can be a major contributor to planning a Bat Vehicle.
A model in a display case can also be a source of inspiration and revitalization when over whelmed with project fatigue.
I found a book on EBAY titled DISPLAY CASES YOU CAN BUILD by Danny Proulx for 8.32 + 3.95 shipping.
Synopsis stated:
Build a beautiful display case for your favorite collection! Danny Proulx makes building elegant, functional display cases easy for beginning and experienced woodworkers alike. He provides all the information you need to craft eleven extraordinary projects--perfect for showcasing your favorite collections or for giving as gifts to friends and family. With each design, Proulx teaches you a variety of invaluable construction methods and joinery techniques. Simply follow the step-by-step instructions to create a gorgeous piece of furniture--one that will last for years to come. You'll acquire the skills and confidence you need to design and construct your own unique display cases for figurines, glassware, memorabilia and more--whatever it is you love to collect! Includes these 11 projects: Table Display Cabinet Tall Display Cabinet Wall-Mounted Cabinet Divider-Wall Display Cabinet China Credenza and Hutch Contemporary Display and Storage Cabinet Corner China and Display Cabinet Wine Display and Storage Cabinet Entertainment and Display Cabinet Curio Cabinet Military Memorabilia Cabinet.
Display Cases You Can Build contains complete step-by-step photos, material lists and construction plans for 10 attractive cabinets. These projects require only basic woodworking tools and can be used to show off a variety of collectibles, including dolls, records, dishes and curios. Finished pieces range from large, room-dividing wall cabinets to wall-mounted display cases. Readers will be able to show off their favorite objects to the world in custom-made displays of their own creation.

Hello everyone,
Anyone ever thought about building this concept batmobile created by Danny Gardner in 2010 and posted on www.deviantart.com You can also see his batmobile and some of his other art at www.dannydraws.com
Looks like a corvette would be an excellent donor vehicle but in reality many other cars would be suitable as a donor vehicle. vertigo
