Thanks Dave. Yeah insight, especially from people who have done this themselves, really does help a WHOLE lot. There is only so much you can gather from a picture, ya know?

I added the front 8 headlights, and those circle things that are beside the upper headlights. And you may notice two little nubs under the windows, those are the start of a pair of windshield wipers.

Batmobile

as well as some under-nose work. I enjoyed the detail this gave my model. More to come.

There has been bad storms our way for the past few days so i took some time last night and worked a bit more on my model since i couldn't do anything else.

I added the small box that connects to the cabin as well as the upper intake.

Batmobile

Added a filler piece to the secondary panel, marked by the red triangles. This closes the gap between the fork panel and the second panel.

Batmobile

Worked some more on the fancy hinges.

Batmobile

And finished the roof panel, added exhaust tips, and finished what i guess will be referred to as the black camera holder.

I have to agree with batman4reals, that the tumbler is looking amazing there. Also GREAT JOB on those tires, the detail and time you have put into them is very obvious.

To keep Bob's video topic on track i decided it would be best to come over to my build and thank him for the suggestions on the panels, i'm researching now how far i need to change things and will move forward with my model within the day.

i rebuilt the panel that sweeps above the bottom intakes, redrew, and enlarged the upper intakes, more to come in that area.

Batmobile

Fixed the nose issue per Bob's suggestion.

Batmobile

Put on this panel with the 3 holes drilled per each side. And started the 4 rear tanks.

Batmobile

Started a new afterburner.

Batmobile

This might get confusing, i added a section that raises with the roof (per the movie opening) and filled in the area that sits below it. I must have watched that section of The Dark Knight where he says "i'm not wearing hockey pads" over 50 times to get that area close to the original.

Upper intakes are finished, this is the best that i can do with the close up pictures i have on file. Overall i think its a great improvement over the old ones.
