LEGO Batmobile 76119 Modification

Finally I built/modified a set of Lego after pandemic started. First of all, the set was originally looked like below. What was wrong with the original set to me? I didn't like the front bat plate. The top front of the car wasn't "round" enough. The back of the car was too "blocky". And I didn't like the "engines" on the sides. I liked the yellow wheel covers from this set therefore, I took them away for other builds. This set gave us extra bat logos and I'm "SUPER LOVIN IT!". Thank you Lego!

What I will do next when I have time: I will find a longer wheel axis to make the back of the batmobile wider by one block each side.

My first thing to work on was the front engine if I removed the front Bat plate. This engine design was my old one from a bat motor bike. I moved it from the bike to this 76119 model. I might change it into black later if I had time to search for the parts.

The next thing was the blocky back. I wanted it to be more streamline and looked like the back of a bat.

Side view: I will change the side when I have time.

The top of the car changed too. The original top was light grey with a hotrod engine.

The top of the front above engine was updated to be more rounded. Now is more similar to the classic one in 1989 movie version.

Kre-O X Lego Optimus Prime (Small Scale Version)

During the Christmas break, I redesigned the small scale version Kre-O Optimus Prime. It had been sitting inside the box for years. Recently, I got a new parts from Lego store and it jump-started my new design. It looked like engine exhaust pipe which was the best fit for this long lost project. Usually, Optimus Prime was drawn with a heavy blue legs in 90% of designs. What about a streamline one? Let's try it.

*Please don't ask if I have instruction of this. I started with drawings on paper and then I built it right a way.

It was actually like this back in the old days... See old post here!


I grew up with Japanese robot cartoons like Gundam. Although the Gundam design changed since Z Gundam which had big legs and heavy backpacks. Gundam RX-78-2 was still my Number 1 Gundam. One day I saw "G40 Gundam" in Facebook. Many people said it was ugly but I thought it wasn't a bad idea to redesign something classic.

I redesigned the legs like knight's armor with exhaust pipes




Here is the scale with the large scale version. You can see the old post from here!




The joints movement of the new version was even better than the large scale version!
