                        I didn't like this Batmobile in the movie but your model build enlightened me. 

                        I now like this one!

                        Thanks for the feedback everyone. I've attached the car to the base and installed the toggle switches that will control all of the lighting. Still have to finish detailing the base, install the lights on the base and wire everything together, but its gettin closer...

                        How did you color the rims? I've been debating on how to do mine.

                        TD, the rims were stripped of that crappy chrome witha soak in bleach, I sprayed them with Testora Gold from a rattle can, brushed the bat emblems in the center with Model Master Acryl Steel and did a pin wash of the details with a black was from Citadel.

                        They look good.Much better than the cheesy chrome.

                        It's finished...or at least as finished as it will get without driving me nuts.

                        Very cool build, love the lights. This is the Batmobile! What color did you use for the body? I used Tamiya Satin Black on mine.

                        I agree with you robiwon. This is what I think of as THE Batmobile. The main color is Tamiya Semi-Gloss black. I also used gunmetal metalizer and a good old mechanical pencil lead for detailing and highlighting. Thanks for looking!
