Hey slysnake,
Time for some 3D brain storming. I would use a JADA model. Most likely several. Draw a set of parallel lines, spaced apart to represent your road restrictions, in the same scale as the JADA model. Place your model over the lines with extra vehicle width equal outside lines. Better yet, fill the model with resin, let it harden, and then slice off what doesn't fit on a band saw with a fine tooth blade. Study it carefully. Make note of everything you can keep in full scale. If the body fits between the lines that great to know. If that checks out I will keep the body in full scale on my future build and the tires full-size diameter too. But, very probably not the width of the tires. With the body intact full scale, manipulation of the frame and suspension parameters would be my targets. Axle extension/shortening by mechanical morphing seems possible. Would need to custom build the frame. Rear end not too much of a problem. Front end probably could be salvaged from the right donor vehicle and spliced into custom frame. I would use rectangular 3"' X 4" X 1/4" wall for frames core and 2" X 4" X 1/4" for other frame parts. Reading about your work and problems with this project has certainly inspired my thinking about this project. Two years ago when I decided to build a Tumbler I didn't know much about automotive vehicles, but two years, more than a hundred books, and a couple thousand hours of studying the builds and techniques of people, like Big Wave Dave, Shaggy, and others on this site, and still many others on the web has given me a lot of tools and insights into building. I will forever be grateful to them all. vertigo

Hello everyone,

Here is the address for an excellent comprehensive article written on
MIG welder fine tuning, welding techniques, weld speeds, hand
position, bead spacing, and joint applications. All well illustrated
with detailed and relevant photographs.

This is the best instruction that I have seen on learning the MIG for
TIG or more commonly referred to as MIG welding stack of dimes
technique. Mastery of this technique will really allow you to make
welds with your MIG welder that look like they were done with a TIG
welder.

hello everyone,
The Batman vs Superman TECH MANUEL is available at Amazon
Just ordered a copy for my reference library. vertigo

Mr. N. Nugent's book critique on Amazon is an excellent description of the book.

"This book is AMAZING! It is exactly the type of details I wanted that

I didn't get from the "Art of" BvS book (read my review of it).

Everything is covered in vivid detail from vehicles, the new Batcave,

Batmobile/Batwing, Robin's suit!, Superman's suit, props, weapons, and

even every piece of equipment in Wonder Woman's bag of tricks - in

stunning detail. This is the PERFECT book if you're into cosplay

looking to reproduce costumes or some props from the movie. If you're

a digital designer like me, it is a MUST HAVE reference book. You get

everything in one fairly priced package - blueprints, close ups,

explanations, 3D renders, this book has pretty much everything you'd

want from the movie at your fingertips. I can't express enough how

pleased I am with this purchase. The movie was okay, but this book is

outstanding. A must have for your Batman/Superman collection.

The Batman v Superman Tech Manual will appeal to those specifically

interested in the intricate details of the designs in the film and how

the technology works. In reading through the book, it's apparent that

everything was designed not only to look good but to be functional as

well. The designs were clearly well thought out. Imagery includes

concept art, early sketches, blueprints, and models."

hello everyone,
Received my copy of the Batman vs Superman TECH MAMUAL.
Contains a lot of summary technical information on the Batman suit, armory, weapons, Batwing, Batmobile, Batcave, Superman, and Wonder Woman weapons. The book contains many relevant and detailed first rate photographs. This book is a fine example of the old saying: A PICTUE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. Many of the pictures contain enough information to inspire and motivate the construction the object depicted. Such as the BATARANGS which are shown step by step in a sequence of photographs. Plan to make a few of them in the future to see how well they really work. Look easy enough that almost everyone could build them. The pictures of the Batmobile reveal some key frame and suspension information. vertigo

While waiting on a replacement controller for my CNC plasma cutter decided to experiment with the Batman vs Superman batarang. First, the latest batarang is 6-1/2 inches long. Twice the size of the usual. In the movie they made it out of aluminum to make it easier for the actor to handle while representing it as made of steel. I have decided to use 3/16th thick steel. You too could use aluminum or cast it out of wax, make a mold, and cast them in fiber reinforced resin. I have attached all the necessary photo images so anyone out there can build their own. This is a good starter project for any of you out there who hope and/or plan to build bigger Batman projects in the future. I will build this batarang using only a hacksaw, bench grinder, and files. If you don't have access to a bench grinder you could use one of the hobby hand grinders. Preferably, buy a small bench grinder if you don't already have one. You will find many uses for it throughout your life. In a real pinch you could use just a hacksaw and files. Once I build one or more, I plan to test the real world performance. vertigo

Forgot to add this important photo image. This image shows how to hold the Batarang in preparation for throwing. The picture is from the Batman vs Superman Tech Manual. vertigo

Hello everyone,
If any of you out there are looking for metal to build your Batarang I saw a rack of 3-foot lengths of various steel rods and flats that included the 3/16 inch flat metal at Home Depot today. You can also find this metal at Lowes, Ace Hardware, and many other hardware stores. I have attached a black and white grinding pattern to make it easy to grind out your Batarang metal blank.
For those out there who don't already know how to set up a grinding blank here it is.
Download the attached black and white grounding pattern.
re-sized the image using your computer's photo program, such as Paint, Photoshop, etc. until you have a 6-1/2 inch life-sized pattern. Cut out your paper pattern leaving the white or cut out just the black part of the pattern. Take your piece of metal wipe it down with acetone. Coat the metal and paper pattern each with rubber contact cement. Let them both dry and stick them together. Or, use any other glue. Or use a vibrating engraver to trace around the pattern. Next, cut away as much material as you can with your hacksaw or a sabre saw with a fine metal cutting blade. Don't try to cut on the actual lines of the pattern. Cut back away from the lines leaving some space to finish it up to the lines with a grinder. Take you time grinding so you don't burn the metal. Keep some water close while grinding so you can dip the metal when it gets hot. For the new Bat Builder this is an excellent project to learn a metal working skill that can potentially be applied to thousands of future project demands. vertigo
