Title: 4ft Bat Tumbler with Jet Engine Radio-Controlled
Post by: Knight-of-Darkness on Sun, 2 Nov 2008, 13:03
Hi Guys!

I'm currently working on a huge radio controlled model of the Tumbler from the last 2 movies.  ;D It's to be as funtional as possible including the breaking flaps at rear.

I'm currently selecting the most suitable type of Turbine engine for this model (usually used in model aircraft). The vehicle will be approx 4ft in length. I would like to include a figure too for the cock-pit, but there's nothing available at this scale that I know about (may have to sculpt one). Can anyone advise on a source for a larger Batman figure?

Great project.  Welcome to the site. I would love to be that handy with models and sculpting.

Some of you guys here really make me jealous with your talents.  :)

Heh!  ;D Progress on this project can be properly viewed at: www.batmanslair.proboards.com

It's only just started, but lots of very cool stuff is to come, including testing of the jet turbine. I will include plenty of video too. 8)
