My Tumbler progress

youngbat · 07-27-2008, 11:31 PM

Thought some of you would like to see some recent progress shots on my tumbler, built from scratch in my garage. I owe thanks to a lot of you for all the great pics. Am going to build my own batpod as well. Thanks to all.

Caladbolg · 07-27-2008, 11:33 PM

lol its not bullet proof.

(wow!)

darkseid26 · 07-27-2008, 11:38 PM

very cool, when will you start the batpod

buff17 · 07-27-2008, 11:40 PM

If I see that on the evening new pancaking police cars, your gonna be in a lot of trouble. haha

07-27-2008, 11:43 PM

How much do you think this thing is gonna cost you by the end of it?

youngbat · 07-27-2008, 11:55 PM

Boy, I don't know exactly. I have no help on this, so labor is zero. So raw materials/wheels/rims/engine/trans/rearaxel etc... I'm gona say 50 -70K.
Hope to start batpod soon. and suit. We'll, actually started on the suit somewhat.

TripAces · 07-27-2008, 11:57 PM

very nice. Can you post pics of the front and side?

Superman4ever · 07-28-2008, 12:01 AM

Bad ASS! You bastard!

DeGenerate10 · 07-28-2008, 12:03 AM

*Calls the men in white coats*

I hope you're not building this for thrill seeking

Nice work BTW

I want $10 million for the rest of my life.

How do you get parts, specifically the body panels and external components? Do you provide sketches to someone? Have you contacted WB? They might be interested in this and who knows you could wind up getting interviewed for a special feature on the DVD or something.

the_monk · 07-28-2008, 12:13 AM

Good lord.

the_monk · 07-28-2008, 12:14 AM

youngbat, are you really Chris Nolan?

TripAces · 07-28-2008, 12:15 AM

He might the real batman that no one knows about yet.

the_monk · 07-28-2008, 12:24 AM

Can it boost into a rampless jump?

chaseter · 07-28-2008, 12:25 AM

I will pay 15 bucks for a ride in it.

WarrenPeace2012 · 07-28-2008, 12:36 AM

Where does someone get the parts to build something like that?

Batty Belfry · 07-28-2008, 01:02 AM

Awesome work youngbat!

Check this site out, it's in Japanese though I think....

Looking great so far!

Paste Pot Pete · 07-28-2008, 01:17 AM

Does it come in black?

...sorry, somebody had to.

Seriously, ridiculously, absurdly amazing.

I wish I had the skill and patience to take on a project like this. I've never even been able to see an entire Lego set through to completion.

raxor · 07-28-2008, 01:33 AM

wow man.. thats amazing.. what engine are you using?

aturner · 07-28-2008, 01:41 AM

Nice work. Seen plenty of your stuff before and it's great quality. Your Begins suit looks great and the likeness of Christoper Reeve Superman sculpt is awesome. How much does making something like the Begins suit set you back?

Sweetchuck · 07-28-2008, 01:45 AM

How the heck can you have enough money to just toss away like that? You must sell the good yayo? huh Tony?

danb26 · 07-28-2008, 07:49 AM

Truely amazing work, but yes! Other shots?

youngbat · 07-28-2008, 09:53 AM

Here's a side shot in my driveway. Still got a few things to build, put on. a couple of small corrections. Am basically pretty happy. No, not building this to sell. You wouldn't want to sell this if you had one, believe me. It's a once in a lifetime project.
I did this alone, no help. I have found with other things in the past that if you have help, the help often does not get it(parts) right, and you have to do it over 95% of the time, plus I like to work alone. All parts are scratch built, cept' tires, rims, brakes, engine, etc.. meaning all bodyparts, brackets, just about everything external on the car. Yes, I will do a batpod, and TDK suit for myself. I love building this stuff.

oh...my....god lol....you should build a joker 18wheeler lol
