1989 Batmobile

This is my 1989 Batmobile model. It's been finished for a while but it's part of an ongoing project. I put a lot of research into all the details of the real car which was difficult since there are multiples and so many replicas. I talk more about this process in this stream I did with Gnomon ( https://youtu.be/Ho2OoQ-TY0k ). More related to this to come!

Here are all the interior controls laid out flat.  Did a lot of research on the RPF and chickslovethecar.com to get these right.  The readout on the screen is a toon render of this model.
