Custom BATCAVE MODEL Scaled For CORGI 1966 BATMOBILE DIECAST CAR
To celebrate this 250th post to the BAT-BLOG we thought we would do a very special story! Bob Kimball, a new friend to the BAT-BLOG, has these 2 awesome photos to share of a model BATCAVE DIARAMA SCENE he made. This is an exact replica model of the BATCAVE from the 1966 Batman TV Show done to the scale of the original 1960's Corgi Diecast Batmobile Car. So, the car was made by the classic toy company & everything else was made by Bob...WOW! The details to this model are extremely insane! He said he watched many hours of the TV show & freeze-framed certain moments to study the different elements of the Batcave because he wanted to capture the exact scale of every piece. It looks like he did just that & also did a great great job! He said, "This model took forever & ever to make!". As you can see in the photos it was lovingly pieced together & painted with great details! One pic has a coin to show the scale....nice! Thanx for sharing these pics with our BAT-BLOG readers Bob!
