An apparence by Skank, hilarious.

Love all the old movies you're looking towards for inspiration. Awesome idea.

Car you did turned out kick ass by the way.

Thanks Master Cabo!

The project almost ended in a disaster when i tried to mix acrylic lacquer with acrylic epoxy. Some chemical reaction caused the paint to bubble and crack.

Thank you Sky. I have alot more confidence in this car than K.I.T.T.
I used skyline body for both but this one is much more fun to apply putty and clay.

I did the back to the future Zip Zap some time ago but would love to see one in bit form? hummm might just have to come up with something???

again nice work man glad to have some new ideas on the board I get tired of stealing ideas from these "old Timers"

Thanks SWG! Yagbols told me to try that time machine car.

So many Hollywood cars to try. My current studies fall on the Batmobile Tumbler which i plan to recreate faithfully in Bit form.

The steering mechanism is the main challenge. I'm searching the forum now for solutions.

Many thanks Crazydave! I'm very lucky to find a video at YouTube for reference.

Thank you very much Betty K! More killer rides to come our way!

I was going to try the Tumbler myself but the stearing was kicking my butt there is a Hot Wheels Batmobile Tumbler in 1/64 that should help in getting the scale and location of all the parts and pieces I bought that first just to get an idea of what goes where?

If you cant find the Hot Wheels Tumbler let me know I will throw it in the mail to ya! hey it even came with a little scale batman!

I am going to work on somethign a litle bit easier I want that Mad Max Bit just need to find a body doner.

Good luck on the Tumbler!

I have the Hotwheels Tumbler with the mini Batman included.

It is part of my diecast collection. For details i have the bigger toy that comes with the lights and sounds.

If you need some pics for your project i will send you shots of it in different angles and parts. As fas as the steering mechanism is concern, i have discussed it with Yagbols on how i will tackle the problem.

Well i can start tinkering on it now that i have submitted my contest entry.

Thanks!

sess was right, it's awesome like a cheeseburger with 4 kinds of bacon

but wow, what a cool car! still looks hot today.

Yeah, it's a nice looking car, albeit the smplicity of its body kit.

I like it more when it runs, the power of the engine is very eminent.

Thanks betty k!
