pennyprojects: More Batman ‘89 stuff. Batman himself is a rare dive into a character instead of an object, but I guess the sculpted costume kinda diminished that a bit… the feet are just placeholders, please please please ignore those. The muscle forms need a few tweaks but they’re basically there. The belt isn’t done but, once it is, it’ll be the only part of the model I can re-use for a Batman Returns model. The gloves can be kinda re-used (the sequel suit gloves are mostly the same, sans forearm plate, but are reproductions and have a bunch of little differences) though everything else was redone from scratch and I’ll have to do the same. The Batmobile is pretty self-explanatory; the official blueprints out there are based on pics rather than the build plans and are super warped and basically useless, but I found a decent scan of the orthographic views that were blown up to carve the polystyrene original! Most of the surface detail is missing but the basic forms were what I really needed and I’m confident in the accuracy of the body’s shape. Things like the side mechanics were found objects stuck on later so I’m leaving those till last (since they won’t affect the modeling process) and the rear trunk vents are placeholders till I’m comfortable with the curvature of the hatch. I’m still working on a lot of the details, obviously, but I’m proud of the basic accuracy so far. When all is said and done, I’m hoping to get it printed as a stupidly big display piece :) -- source link
