Here's the reassembled console.

When I assembled the two halves of the center console I discovered a rather prominent seam right down the middle that would have been difficult to fill and sand. I should have realized this when I was dry fitting the halves but I didn't. I was fortunately able to pry it apart without causing any damage. I used several different sizes of styrene strip to cover the seams and the recessed areas on the inner part of the sides.

The newly corrected seats with a fresh coat of paint. The color will actually be darker than what is shown here. Detail painting of the seats will come later.

Before the cement set up on the new brace I had to dry fit it to the seat to make sure the parts were properly aligned.

One of the things I discovered when I began researching for this model was that the side braces on the seats in the kit point in the opposite direction from the braces on the actual Batmobile. For some reason for me this was a glaring mistake. In the photo the brace on the left is the original kit part. The one in the middle and the one on the right show how I corrected it. I used .040 x .156" styrene strip from Evergreen to reattach the top part of the brace.

Okay, I'll try that. Thank you. I guess I should have searched for info on how to post photos on here but I didn't think I'd have any trouble.

I did it this way:

On Flickr click on view all sizes, click on original, right click on image, select 'copy image location'

Back to FSM and your post (use rich text format) click on small insert image icon; paste the URL you just copied into the popup window, click on insert. Your image should appear

Might be other methods but this works. Hope this helps

Ok. Rather than posting an URL to a photo how do I actually get a photo to show up on here?

Ok. I'll go back and fix that and try again. Thanks Rob.

The setting of your album on Flickr is "private". No one besides yourself can see it. You need to set it to public.

Darn it! If anyone can direct me to information on how to post photos on here I would greatly appreciate it.

Well, the photo I tried posting didn't post. I'll have to figure out what I did wrong and try again.

Moebius Batmobile in-process photos
Posted by JimNTENN on Friday, September 6, 2013 11:55 PM

A few weeks ago I bought Moebius Models' Batmobile from The Dark Knight Trilogy. I'm finally getting around to showing the progress I'm making....which isn't a lot.....but I've got enough to show how it is slowly taking shape.
