Re: Fiberglass Freaks Batman Museum
Thanks for your kinds words, folks. It's going to be a blast.
Once we scrape and paint the ceiling, we will begin construction on the Wayne Manor set and the theater. The plan is to have patrons be able to operate the switch in the Shakespeare bust to open the bookcase for photo ops. The theater will show documentaries about the 80 history of the character, the TV show, the car, the Futura, Logansport automotive history, and Fiberglass Freaks. I'm working with Greg and his team to procure his fantastic sculpts of Cesar, Julie, Burgess, and Frank, and I'll be working with Chuck on his fantastic Adam sculpt.
Downstairs, we are building the Batcave, complete with batpoles, atomic pile, batcomputers, and the cave exit. The last room in the museum will house a 66 Batcycle replica, a Batgirl Cycle replica, and a surprise appearance by an Egyptian monarch.
We will certainly have fantastic replica props and costumes, but we will also be working with collectors to see what screen-used items might be available to loan to the museum.

We're inching closer and closer...Our 'Sneak Peek' was a success (35 people attended), yielding the constructive criticism needed to finish the museum:

Whoa!!! That is a valuable contribution to preserving iconic pop culture! Right up there with the Star Trek recreation in Ticonderoga, NY.

Re: Fiberglass Freaks Batman Museum
Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the Fiberglass Freaks' Batman Museum soft opening and grand opening dates are postponed. We have some red tape to take care of, and then we'll be able to set a new opening date. The city of Logansport is working with us to make sure we have all of our 'i's dotted and our 't's crossed (please do not make any negative comments about the city government--they have been fantastic).
The lemonade is that we have a little more time to finish up some of the projects that were tight on time. I'll keep you updated as we make additional progress. It's looking great, and when it is completed, you are going to love it!

Re: Fiberglass Freaks Batman Museum
Has there been any info on the opening of the Museum?
Re: Fiberglass Freaks Batman Museum
Looks like it has been delayed for 3 more months according to the “Fiberglass Freaks Batmobile Replicas” Facebook group.
