batcave diorama

Post by 1966BatGirl »

hi
long time lurker, first time posting

I am wondering if a Batcave diorama exists or plans exist to build a 1966 Batcave diorama?

I am looking for something in 1:6 please

Welcome to the Forum!

The Batcave is not commercially available in 1:6, but the Hot Toys owner has one built for himself.

Keep in mind that 1/6 Batmobile is nearly 38" long. So the height of the Atomic Pile would over 5 feet tall. The Batcave ceiling would be at least 6' tall. You might use a Ping Pong table for the Cave floor, but that would be a tad small. If you build it, we'd love to see it and follow the progress in the Batcrafts section.

Thank you for the response Lou :) and the welcome

Yes I do have the hot toys Batmobile and have always enjoyed model and diorama building so was looking for any plans or blueprints anyone might have done or previously completed.
Thank you for the picture that looks great.

Keep letting Joost know you're interested (not a one and done comment), he and the family read pretty much all the posts on the Facebook page. If he sees enough serious interest I have a feeling we can at least get an Atomic Pile front and the Bat Computers to go with the '66 Batmobile.

There are a number of posts in Batcrafts regarding smaller scales, so you can scale those up to 1/6. STP or SVP had a multi year thread in a 1/24 scale.

The best 1:6 Batcave model I have seen belongs to Michael Allred, comic book artist and writer most famous for his independent comics creations Madman and iZombie. He has shown pictures on Instagram under the name "allredmd".

He wrote..."I built this monster from scratch! Possibly my favorite “spare time” project ever! Completely inspired by the need for a worthy parking place for the @jazzincdioramas 1/6 ‘66 Batmobile. Still have a few details to add or polish, but mostly finished. I’ll post pics when Batman’s wheels arrive."

Can't wait to see what that cave will look like with the 1/6th car!

That diorama is incredible! If Joost can do an atomic pile and some of the bat computers, that would be amazing.

A guy by the name of JEG made a metal 1/24 scale Atomic Pile. If he can send the files to Joost, that would save some time.
