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.

Size comparison with other Modified Lego Batmobiles 

Updated Batmobile from Batman Vs Superman

I updated the Batmobile from Batman Vs Superman (BvS). Actually, it was a nice model from Lego except Lego gave up to build the complicated front side of the car. Lego would do a way better job than most of the MOC people, I think. But Lego designers were limited by budget (brick counts) and the deadly "Play feature included" rule.

Looking it from a better side, Lego left you space for modification in each set...

Bat Cave MOC On A 32 x 32 Studs Road Plate

This is my looooong time project. I've been planning to build this since 3 years ago (I bought the Lego Road Plates, 3 years ago). The minifigure size Tumbler is also a 3 years project. I just finished the Tumbler 2 weeks ago. This Bat Cave set is a copy of Lego's 6860. I don't even know which brand made this but it's cheap and nice. The set has NO STICKERS. The most ridicules thing is... The seller told me to buy the missing stickers from Lego.

Ok... I can either re-draw them in illustrator and print on transparent labels (Note: I'm a graphic designer + photographer. Adobe software is my life). What about I just leave the sticker issue behind?



The reason why I use the road plate is the position of batmobile. This design will save me a lot of tile bricks. At the same time, it looks nice too.



Not much change in the Bat Computer. I changed the black and yellow cartoon-ist logo into Batman vs Superman's. I think it looks cooler with it.



Weapon storage: I think Batman should have hell a lot of weapons and I think "No guns for Batman" is outdated (See Batman vs Superman's change).

I have a lot of Batman's expendable employees working there (Some of them just died).



Batman's R&D lab. Obviously, he doesn't trust with Superman.



Suit Storage. Not good but let's leave it like this for now.



Batman's armor for Superman battle.



Lots of happy visitors in Batman's jail.



Batman's changing room (See Lego 6860's structure)



Medical Room is a bit empty.



Batman has a lot of gifts for Superman.



Power switch for the Bat Cave and gas station for Batmobiles.

Building Bat Cave is always a fun thing to do.

Batman Bat Pod UCS (From Decool)

I had no idea why Lego made this Bat Pod as a limited edition with only 750 units in this world. These 750 units were actually free from a big lucky draw around the world.

I joined and I didn't win. Before I had time to build it with ordering parts from Bricklink and Brickowl, China's Decool released this set at US$22. The quality of bricks and technic beams were not as good as Lepin. Very loose. However, the Bat Pod was for display only so it didn't bother most of the people, I think.

LEGO Super Hero Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice Bat Mobile (76045) MOD (Progress)

It's a good LEGO set but it misses the part in front of the front wheels. I think a lot of people are looking for a better solution for this matter. For now, I change the grey bricks into black after taking this photo and start to see how to put things around the wheels.

*I hope BvsS will not disappoint fans...
