Well Guys to keep you in touch with my progress.
I have been to the last Speech Therapist which was only three times.
The heart Monitor has been sent back after 30 days of wearing it.
I have been back to work for 3 weeks and am doing good.
Also my son bought me Batman the Blue ray set for Christmas!
Wasn't that a nice thing to do!
Well I am back from the doctors and he too said I did not need to see him for a year.
Now I think I will start back on the build if I can make myself. Still a lot of problems I have not sorted out but I hope to do so soon!
Well guys I feel fine and am in the mood to mod but I am stuck on the center panel buttons for the AP.
I am not sure how to make this and it really has me stuck. So when I get to the point that I can figure out how to make this item the build can't continue so if anyone has a suggestion I am all ears!
Regarding your "dilemma", I'm assuming you're talking about the buttons-gauges-switches?
I was thinking (if the scale was correct), maybe you could do a bit of kit bashing.
I've seen Submarine plastic model kits with cut-a-ways. So they have interior details that might have what you need. Or maybe some other form of a model kit that would have what you're looking for?
Just a thought.

Good point Jeremy but finding the correct items might be difficult and expensive that is why I have not tried.
I wonder where professional modelers buy items such as the steam pipes I have been looking all over the place for those.
I know a lot of car-model builders that have amassed a huge collection of car models over the years.
So they end up having a huge resource of parts at their disposal.
Out of curiosity, what diameter of pipe do you need?
Just to ley you know where I am I have been focusing a lot on my health getting my weight down which was mandatory. I have not been able to get back in the groove since the stroke but I hope that will change after I get my health where it need's to be. The doctors think I am doing fine and I will continue to do fine I have lost a lot of weight from 328lbs down to 276lbs and I still have a lot more to go to get to my goal.
All is well and I have not forgot about you guys I just need to do this first.
Just to let you know I am still here it has been a year and 1 month since the stroke!
And I am feeling fine
I am stuck on the panels that go into the lower half of the Atomic pile and unless someone can make them I will continue to be stuck.
I have my son trying to learn 123D Design any help on these would be appreciate this is not soliciting I am merely needing to know how to make these panels.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.
It's great to hear from you, Charles! Congrats on the successful recovery from your stroke. I hope you have a healthy, safe, and blessed 2018, good sir.
It’s great to hear from you Charles. I think we all have been wondering how you are doing. It’s great to hear you are getting better. One step at a time my friend. You will figure out how to solve your dilema, and it will look as stunning as the rest of the project..I know it!
Hi everyone I just wanted to let you know I am still alive I have not done any posting as I can not make myself do anything creative. I mean I sit in front of the build and nothing comes to mind I think I lost the creative urges after the stroke. I will keep trying but it so far is not working.
I hope everyone out there does not have to go through a stroke it was not a bad one but part of me just won't come back it is sad.
Hi Charles,
Good to have you back. Have you thought about adding some of the iconic comic book images, namely the giant penny, the T-rec and the Oversized Joker card. Maybe the staircase Alfred uses. A real working turntable? A lighting kit?
Just some thoughts to get your creative juices moving. I’ve been curious of what faces this batcave. For example, if you stood on the scaffolding around the atomic pile, and looked beyond the Batmobile, should you see earlier iterations of the Batmobiles or the memorabilia mentioned above. That might be worth discussing and re-imagining.
