Only after the entire black bodywork was finished, I started with the actual chassis, using all those "rainbow" colored bricks at spots where they were (hopefully) not visible from the outside. This resulted in rather "adventurous" building techniques for the rear fenders, and for the back of the rear fenders I had to use tiles instead of slopes, as there were simply no slopes left.Īfter the fenders, I continued to build all the remaining bodywork, which was visible from the outside and thus had to be black. I quickly realized that there were not enough slopes available to mount them all in the same orientation, so I had to mix upward with inverse slopes, even within the same row. I am especially proud of my solution to close the gap between the two successively mounted tail parts using 2x3 tiles and the 1x1 clip light.Īfter building the canopy, I made an inventory of all the black slopes I had left, put away the essential slopes for the side ribs, and then started building the fenders. So I had to come up with a totally different building solution for the two smaller wings, using several of the 2340 tail parts, which were otherwise pretty useless, to save essential slope parts which I would definitely need elsewhere.
With the front nose and the exhaust done, I classified the shape of the big rear wing "essential" for the overall look, so I did this part next.Īfter finishing the big rear wing, I realized that I would probably have no parts left to do the two smaller rear wings on the sides in the same style. However, that meant that I had no steering wheel left for the actual cockpit, so the 4185 "pulley" with a rubber tire had to fulfill this job. The solution was to use the steering wheel (2819), where you could also attach the 92280 clips to mount the flaps in an octagonal shape. As the 1995 Batmobile had an even longer exhaust, I had to come up with a method for attaching the exhaust flaps without having to use the rather essential octagonal bar frame (75937). I started with the front nose, and to mount the ribs at an angle, I had to use the octagonal bar frame (75937), which was the essential part of the 1989 Batmobile exhaust. I constructed this up to the point where I had absolutely no "usable" parts left in any color, just some special purpose parts, and to build this, you also need most of the spare parts that come with the 76139 set. I would have preferred to build this model with four equally sized wheels like the original, but building this as an alternate model, I had to work with the different sized wheels of the 1989 Batmobile. I used inventory v2 of this set, because you need the three individual 2圆 tiles instead of one big 6圆 tile. This build is made using only pieces from the official 1989 Batmobile set 76139. It is 60 cm long, 21 cm wide and 28 cm tall. Here is my recreation of Val Kilmer's 1995 "Batman Forever" Batmobile.
