Front View- by cutting and shaping some pool screen material, I came up
with a realistic looking

The 1966 Adam West
BATMOBILE
The
1966 Adam West Batmobile was an amazing design challenge, lego
pieces were beginning to make me think that this was not possible. The
car always seemed awfuly square and bulky looking until I figured out
that scale was everything!
The major feat was the glass, made from ordinary clear projector
paper, I bent and cut it to the size I wanted. After that I just
painted a thin silver stripe around the edge. After
the third replica was made (to my liking, I might add) I acquired the
Lego R.C. kit with 3 channels. (note the car had already a flashing
rear flame from an 80's Police City kit) the RC Batmobile was born. Now
capable of towing a trailer,and a flashing beacon, the car is a fun replica to play with or
just to marvel at.. it's only Lego!?!

The Batmobile can pull the 1 lb. Batboat and trailer!
Nine years of building, tearing apart and rebuilding
has finally made me happy with my replica!
