Specifically, myself and my 3d modeller are working on replica wheels and tires for the magic model company 29" Batmobile, so if those that have built full size cars know these details very well and are in a unique position... if owners are willing to share, your help would be greatly appreciated...I've been getting acquainted with the CLTC web page again, my first post was back in 2004 a few months after the site opened, discussing of all things, Blueprints..I do not possess enough posts to get full access to areas of the site that might actually supply me with the photos i need.... but i'm still looking Anyway, some of the members here that have built cars, i'm asking if you might have any photos of the wheels and tires for the car to ensure i have my drawings accurate for my 3d builder...the better the details, the better the replica...as a Professional model maker, the HOT Toys model is somewhat of a disappointment to me in some areas and shape... here is an example my my work to show you what i'm about, myself and Best Friend Rich built the masters for this for Disney back in 2004, this is the master casting...this is the most accurate model of the Nautilus ever made, between Rich and I we had over 40+ years studying the actual filming miniature to ensure accuracy.

And when that day comes, you'll be like:
.....I waited that long for this? What a rip off!
Haha!
I don't have files, technically, However I might have something in the future. Modeling that car I 3D was near impossible for my current abilities. I can tell you though, the blueprints available here on CLTC are off, most especially near the front of the canopy area.

Ohh I know this all too well, blueprint wise...I did a ton of research when trying to come up with all the other parts details for my casting of the Pinewood studios Magic Model Company, second model division car...Then When Dave Martis and I where talking on the phone, discussing the Batmobile of sky, the Firefox Mig-31, he mentioned he was involved in a different project, the Batmobile, we clicked! I told him that I had been working on cad drawings for my 1/8 scale Batrmobile for a while now. and was trying to get the details just right...I was using a laser cutter to get certain details precise...so we collaborated, I did the drawings once revisions once he got to visit Warner Bros studios to see the Onstar car... once i finished the drawings i sent them to Dave, and he had his 3d guys turn them into models..it was great working with him to get the details correct...but certain areas i need to revisit, so for now... the tires and wheels..... so i'm not asking for drawings, just various angled photos of the wheels and tires showing the details of the hubs, Centerlines, and Mickey Thompsons as well as the bats for them though i think i got those right
