THE BAT-ROD! Custom 1966 Batman TV Show Batmobile Model Kit







A few posts back we presented a Model Kit Artist named Jim who had made a Custom 1966 Batmobile Car. It was sort of small & cute. I guess the keyword is CUTE because it was done in a very over-exaggerated way. It sort of reminded me of those models I used to get as a little kid in the 1970's. The front tires were really small & the back ones were way too big. The main characteristic is that everything was extremely out of proportion & kinda crazy wacky coo-coo! I loved that style & this Custom Model Kit sort of brings that back but with the 1966 Batmobile. Now, to get back on track, we showed Jim's previous Batmobile Car he made & now here's a newer one that is even bigger! ( Look at the 1st photo, that tiny one was the one we showed last time ). It's a large scale version of the small one and, believe it or not, even more awesome! Just take some time to study the sharp photos up above & you'll see what I'm talking about. This baby is a work of ART, a True Masterpiece! The details are insane & I love all the wacky proportions. It's just really fun & clever. Plus, please take a look at the last photo in the stack & you'll see a Custom Batman Action Figure that's really funny! Thanks Jim for sending these wonderful photos. Also, please keep us updated on future bat-projects...you do great stuff!
