Lego The Batman Batmobile (76181) Modification

 

I couldn't believe I bought this Batmobile set. Actually, I didn't think it was a good Batmobile but I had to say it's a good muscle car model. The original Lego model had two shooters at the front. Buttons were placed on the hood between the 2 bigger grey stripes. The car top was replaced with smooth tiles too. (I think no one likes studs, right?)

To be honest, I don't have any expectation on the up coming The Batman movie. No matter what I will watch it and buy the Bluray when it's available like the previous Batman movies.

I removed the buttons and the shooters and replaced the grey stripes with a smaller slope and height. The hood became smoother.

I also modified the car front side. I extended the lights and fenders by one plate thickness. 

One of the best feature of this set is the engine design. I like it very much and I will not change anything on it.

I like the recent 3 Lego Batmobiles a lot however, I still don't have a place to display them inside the display case.

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Weapon storage: I think Batman should have hell a lot of weapons and I think "No guns for Batman" is outdated (See Batman vs Superman's change).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

This Batman Armor MOC is based on Lego set 70901 which is The Batman Movie's Mr. Freeze set. The new body part from NEXO Knights series saves a lot of space for building this kind of armor (like Hulkbuster with Ironman inside it). That new part helps people to build a reasonable size model with the small ball joints bricks. It avoids the size problem that Hulkbuster has.

When I have time, I may come back to fine tune it.
