This batmobile is the best one they have made so far, in a batman show/movie. It's coming along nicely Prodigy.

This is looking really good Prodigy

I have an unmade Amt model kit of this version of the batmobile from about 19 years ago...so if you want me to take some pictures of reference parts let me know...
Why is it unmade?....well I really liked making plastic kits as a teenager, but moved on. (I guess you could say trueSpace has now replaced this teenage urge, and is more creative). Then when I got married we had to construct a wedding present list (as was traditional in the UK, at least then). My wife and I didn't treat it very seriously, so she put down a BMW convertible..and I put down my favourite car of the time, The Batmobile. On the day of the wedding my brother (who was also my best man) produced this model gift wrapped. After I got married I never got the time to make it and then took up watercolour painting seriously. Then came the kids and a demanding job and time disappeared...I am now thinking of making it this summer...so if you need shots of the parts before assembly let me know...

Thanks guys,
CdeB, thanks for the offer, and yes i love to see some picture

I found some videos in Youtube from some guys that made real size replicas from the Batmobile.

As you may noticed, i HATE long projects so hope to have the Batmobile finished for today

Wow! Fantastic work Prodigy. Must admit, I have a soft spot for cars from the movies and the Batmobile sits at the top of the list. Great work and can't wait to see more.

Thanks for the comments, i really appreciate it

About the progress of the batmobile, well, i had a lot of progress on the body, but sadly after few hours working on it, i saved over the original file (Wrong move!) and as i mentioned, save using the Library is not secure.. so i lost the last scene with all the progress..

Was very frustrating indeed, so i stop to work on it.

But i hope start to work again, do all this details again and stop to save from the library..

this is a shot from the model that save from a backup.

The "cockpit" has a slider with some logic behind that opens like the real batmobile, i'll try to make a vid from this cos looks cool

Thanks again for the comments, and I'll try to back to work again on it as soon as possible.

Oh.. Man... to quote a famouse ex US President... I feel your pain Prodigy... That feeling in your gut, that it seems only computer programs can produce, when in a split second all your hard work dissapears into non exsistance

. I have lost more files in TrueSpace in more ways than I have files. You wouldn't think thats possible, but its true. I myself am about 50/50 on wether I ever return to the cursed project. But life goes on and the lure of creating in TrueSpace is an iresisable force that brings us back every time. Rely sory for your loss.

Cheers

I have done what you did Prodigy but I have rarely lost a file. As soon as you make the mistake, try loading the scene but choose 'all files' in the type box then look for the .bak file of the same name; it is usually the one before you saved. Might be too late now but a handy tip maybe for others....

robert · Post by **robert** » 06 Jul 2009, 00:21

I know if you save it as a workspace scene the old one goes to the recycle bin.

Still have quite a bit there though.

Prodigy · Post by **Prodigy** » 06 Jul 2009, 02:16

I never knew that..

Thanks for the tip Robert..

marcel · Post by **marcel** » 06 Jul 2009, 07:14

I use often "save as" in modelside to save my work and keep most important step of the construction. i never use the library. it is better to use his own folder. if i have a lot of texture i use the archive function to create a clean folder for the work. If you change the setting of the bridge (on/off) you can lost the scene in the model side. Always save a copy before do that. remember this to avoid to be frustated.
