Here's the Batmobile from the Batman Forever movie. In my opinion, the only Batmobile that's worse than this is the one from Batman & Robin. Yep, it's ugly but I still had to do it up. The first thing I did was to re-cast the chrome body inserts in clear resin. I then used a grinder on my Dremel to fine-tune the shape so they could fit in where the thinner plastic went, and so it would diffuse the light (yep, I lit this sucker). I also drilled out the gauges on the instrument panel pod and the center console. I used a green LED to light up the interior and blue for the exterior body panels. When testing it out, I realized that the interior tub blocked a large portion of the side panels, so I had to cut out the sides of the interior and re-shape the interior to allow the light to shine through. I also lit up the headlights. It wasn't an easy build, but I wanted to make sure I got it lit up as good as I could. Here's some pics with the car unlit:
And here's the car lit up:
Due to the wiring and having to include a switch, I mounted it on a base. I figured that it needed
a good background, so here's how it looks sitting on the shelf:
