My 1/25 Batmobile/diorama.
My 1/25 1966 Batmobile Diorama. The model was painted several coats of Gloss Black. The pin striping is, per the actual car seen in 1966, Glowing Cerise, NOT orange, NOT red. The color shifts to a reddish, orange with lighting, like the real #l car. The rocket launchers were replaced with Aluminum tubing. As this is the deluxe kit from Polar Lights, Photo Etch was used throughout to enhance realism. The rims provided are incorrect so I replaced them. I also lowered the suspension of the car, as per the original, to give it weight.The two red lights on either side of the roll bar were sanded off and replaced with Red Aircraft marker lights.

Love your work this model looks so much like the screen version it is unreal.
I would like to see the one with batman in it maybe coming out of the bat cave or coming toward the road block sign that flips down the possibilities are endless! Great Work!

I did not mean to imply that Robin was not in there I just did not see him.
Another great angle of this model.
I am sure glad you chose not label everything I think George Barris ruined the look of the original car by labeling everything Bat...Whatever.
Don't get me wrong some labels are ok and they did not over do those in the series but afterward when the car was touring that's when Barris went label crazy!
