***A of people have been telling me that I “should have used ‘clear’ blue paint”, or asking me why I didn’t. There are a couple of reasons why that’s, imho, not correct: 1) it’s more work. This video is meant to be a guide for a simple hack that most anyone can do. To paint it, you’d have to take the lights out of the clear parts and risk damaging the setup. Not a lot of people are comfortable doing that stuff, or using spray paint, and this video is meant to show people how to do this in a simple, effective way. 2) this is the important one; “clear paint” is an oxymoron. Even “clear” paint is made up of pigment, and applying pigment means that you’re occluding the clear part, which will prevent light from coming through on some level, especially if you apply too much paint, which is very easy to do. I’m not saying it won’t work; some light will definitely come through, but it might not be enough and you might have a hard time changing it if you don’t like the result. These acrylic sheets I used are literally made for changing the color of lights. Trust me when I tell you that I think about this kind of stuff, you guys!

@r01d2 5 дней назад

I also agree using coloured clear sheet, I'm spraying paint using spray can, result still random it can be clean and smooth, sometimes rough like rocks and I need to smooth it, if clear sheet is an option I will use that.

Nice review and mod upgrade. Will you get and build the 1/12 Modoking Tumbler model kit and compare it against the McFarlane version?

@Ibrahim_M 15 дней назад

Thank you! I have the Modoking Tumbler, just hoping to find some time to build it. I don't have the McFarlane version because I knew I was getting the Modoking, but I have my custom tumbler that's the same size as the McFarlane. So I might show that for comparison. I'm worried that the Modoking is too small for 1/12, even though it's supposed to be in scale.

@JamilynParks 15 дней назад

That was a cool quick demo. Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I definitely plan on doing this mod. I actually think I prefer the color on yours to if it were perfectly accurate. It gives it some depth and interest. This isn't my favorite Batmobile either, but I've always admired the design and thought the lights were a cool visual detail. I think I may mess with those headlights too. I gotta see how thick they are in person. Thanks for sharing. It's always great to get a new video from you.

@Ibrahim_M 15 дней назад

Jamilyn! Thank you my friend! That means a lot. Yeah, I'm finding that more and more I'm like "do I care about it being perfectly accurate, or looking cool on the shelf?" lol. But now after sleeping on it for a night, I want to go all out on this thing, lol. Hope you dig yours when you get it!

@blackyshepherd9172 16 дней назад

I always really liked this Batmobile design... it was always just so 'out there'. I really liked the design idea behind it, the kind of 'biomechanical' thing they were going for. One year at SDCC they had all of the Batmobiles up to that point and I was really impressed with this version. I think you're right, it looks way cooler without the big crazy fin on the back. Also, Val Kilmer is a super underrated Batman.

@Ibrahim_M 15 дней назад

Blacky! Yeah man, I agree. I saw in a batmobile doc they said that this was kind of meant to look like a bat with its wings folded on itself, and that made me like it a lot more. I saw all of the batmobiles on display 8 years ago, and I took a bunch of pictures-- I gotta dig those up!

@blackyshepherd9172 9 дней назад

@@Ibrahim_M Yeah that was when I saw them. They're super impressive in real life. Even the Tumbler (which I admit I had to warm up to) was really striking in real life. This version was honestly my least favorite until I saw it in person, and it was just so rad looking it raised up a few notches in my list!

@dsscott1023 16 дней назад

Thanks for the video. I don't care for that version of the batmobile either. But I'm going to add it to my collection and paint those panels with blue iridescent paint and light it up with led strip. Great video.

Maybe we'll get a Forever Batmobile with actual blue lights later on? After the uproar over the canopy with the '89 Batmobile followed by the improved Gold Label reissue, hopefully they're planning a Forever Batmobile reissue with blue lights (and maybe paired with a panther suit Kilmer Batman)?

@Ibrahim_M 15 дней назад

It wouldn't surprise me at all, lol. OR, they don't change the lights and they still just pair it with the Panther suit, haha.

@stevebragg4256 15 дней назад

I know the George Clooney B & R Batmobile was actually a one seater, so if they make it, the seatng should be accurate.

@aaroneaston8899 15 дней назад

More reason Mcfarlane should have made the figures 1/12. All the vehicles are actually sized for 6 inch figures. They screw it up by modding it as a one seater to fit only one 7 inch figure. The Tumbler was the only exception.

@Ibrahim_M 15 дней назад

Dude it would be SO funny if they made it a 2-seater

@ImranOO7 15 дней назад

That’s brilliant. I think you could paint the built in clear plastic with tamiya clear blue and replace the bulbs with a led strip. One on the top and the second on the bottom. It’ll give that diffused look.

@Ibrahim_M 15 дней назад

Thanks! You could absolutely do that, I think it would look great. I'm going to revisit this in a few months when I have time and use a strip like the real car did.

@decadentdave 15 дней назад

The lights were more of a teal green in the movie. When I bought my AMT model in 95 I ended up getting a model master spray paint for the chrome pieces that was a metallic teal green and lightly drybrushed silver over the engine details and it looked just like the film. Still have the model.

@dahhmlife 15 дней назад

I guess they just like it blue? Looks more accurate the way it came to me.

@Ibrahim_M 15 дней назад

Yeah, I think it's one of those cases where the car looks one way in certain lighting, and then different in others. I know the accurate replica by JazzInc used blue lights. I think the way it came is totally fine, personally. But I know a lot of people wanted it to be blue so I thought this would be helpful.

@rhymingbecktionary 9 дней назад

Are the shelves you're using to display the vehicles custom built by you or something you bought pre-made? They look like they're built modular in such a way that they could individually stand on their own with glass/plexi-glass on the front/sides or placed adjacent to each other to make a wider, multi-shelf display with a glass/plexi-glass front.

@Ibrahim_M 9 дней назад

Yep, that's exactly it. They're just IKEA shelves that I enclosed with custom cut plexiglass.

@terone 15 дней назад

I got the 1989 Batmobile, skipped the Tumbler and Batpod (and I really wanted a Batpod - but neither looks quite right to me) and I think McFarlane did a fine job here. The compromises made feel like the right ones to me. As you mention, this is going to live on a shelf, and it certainly looks the part there. I agree that it looks actually quite good without the central fin. It looks much more like an updated version of the 1989 Batmobile. it would be interesting to know if the reason why the fin was added was precisely to give it a more distinct silhouette.

@Ibrahim_M 15 дней назад

I agree with everything you said here, and I think that's a really good way to put it/look at it: there HAVE to be compromises when shrinking these things down into a toy. There are all kinds of things to consider; cost vs price, shelf space that retailers will give to the company, shipping weight, etc. Thanks!

😂😂😂 so far you’re maybe the 5th person to say you agree about the fin! Have fun with that 89! This one made me nostalgic for that project!

@talondarkfire 14 дней назад

I love the story behind the design of this Batmobile. Schumacher went to H.R. Geiger to design a Batmobile for the new movie. Geiger came back with this wacky, fleshy looking four legged wheeled creature with eyes. Schumacher said thanks for the design and didn't use it. Then he went to his design team and told them to design a Batmobile that looked like Geiger designed it, hence why this one looks like was built by a Xenomorph.

@Ibrahim_M 13 дней назад

@btbcc12859 15 дней назад

I just got a sneaky feeling the blue one is coming. As for the car being a one seater, Todd is visual person, he don't care, (IMO) Todd really doesn't want Batman in it! It appears it's meant to be seen behind Batman as a display, but it's a toy so he makes the concession to make it function as a toy. All he had to do was rescale it so it's wider.

@Ibrahim_M 15 дней назад

@solohan8756 14 дней назад

Great custom. I also prefer this car without the massive middle wing. How about using aluminium foil inside to brighten up the light?

@Ibrahim_M 14 дней назад

@rocketdude2969 15 дней назад

I got mine last Saturday and I'm OK with the lights inside not being blue . But I am thinking of just painting the headlights a gloss white . I really think they should have done something with them . And to me I love the big giant fin on top .

@Ibrahim_M 15 дней назад

Yeah honestly I thought the way it came looked pretty cool, lights-wise. But I know people wanted to see how to make it bluer. Gloss white on the headlights is a good idea! I might do that too until I have time to mod them

@pabl0cc033 13 дней назад

@IdzuBAT 14 дней назад

why don't you just spray a clear blue paint towards those clear parts?

@Ibrahim_M 13 дней назад

Several reasons: 1) it’s harder to do that; you’d have to remove the lights from the clear parts and risk damaging them- it’s a tight fit. Then you’d have to buy paint, go outside, spray it, wait for it to dry and air out, then reassemble everything. Using the sheets meant I never had to leave the work bench. Very quick and easy. 2) this is the important one; even “clear” paint is a pigment of particles, and applying particles means that you’re occluding the clear part, which will prevent light from coming through. So it would block the light. I don’t know why nobody thinks about that!

@GaryTabarJr 12 дней назад

A simple solution to make the translucent plastic more blue, is rit dye for plastics. I didn't think it would work, but did it with an almost white faded halloween pumpkin last year, and the orange dye was almost too color intense.

That looks a lot better. Mine is supposed to be coming this week and I might be trying something similar with the blue light issue. There are times in the movie it does appear bluey-green depending on the scene. Yes, I agree it looks better without the large fin on top. Without it looks like an evolution from the 89 Batmobile.

@Ibrahim_M 15 дней назад

Yeah I honestly think the way it came is perfectly fine because it definitely has some green tinting at times on screen. But I know most people seem to want it to be blue. Now 24 hours later I want to fully customize the whole thing 😂😂

@GartheKnightReturns 15 дней назад

@@Ibrahim_M Yeah, also people do see colors differently from others. That whole “what color is the dress” thing from several years back. It’s possible to pull the wiring set up and go with an LED that changes colors with a remote. Probably wouldn’t take much finagling.

@JTKirk 12 дней назад

Interesting hack, I think you put a pretty good shade of lipstick on this pig. I wonder if the darkness of the middle of the panel could be fixed by painting the back of the panel silver. It seems like it's only dimming because of the darkness inside the car showing through, and silver would act as a catchlight instead of a void; you could probably even dry-brush or paint-wash the exterior to bring out those details a little more once that was in place. Alternately, I was thinking you could swap the white LEDs to blue, but that's a whole piece of work at that point.

@Ibrahim_M 12 дней назад

Yeah, this was meant to be a pretty simple thing for the average collector to do. Most of my projects are pretty involved, but keeping it simple was key here. But I've done the reflective trick you're talking about before and it definitely helps! I chromed out the headlight bezel on my 89 mod and it was nice. Hell even tinfoil inside this thing would do the trick. But I got the bug after doing this video, so now I'm going to be knocking out a full customization and painting the clear bits to be metallic, then stringing blue lights throughout to make it look more screen accurate. A custom Kilmer Batsuit is on the way, too, haha.

@JTKirk 12 дней назад

@@Ibrahim_M That sounds pretty great, I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I only noticed after I commented that this thing doesn't have its headlights so between that and the front grille alone, that'll be quite the job! As for the Kilmer Sonar Suit, I look forward to what you come up with there even more as I have no idea why the retail version is blue with black - the costume is all black, and the production shots making it look blue are from set lighting gels so everything should be a haze of dark blue-gray like the WB100 version had.

@Ibrahim_M 12 дней назад

@@JTKirk Yeah, I'm not looking forward to cutting out the grille 😂😂 These things can be tricky; something I learned when I customized the 89 Batmobile is that there's how it was in real life, and how it LOOKED on screen. The latter is what we see and what we remember, so it makes sense that the Sonar suit looks a metallic blue/grey even if it was only lit that way. I'm going with the black suit he wore at the beginning, though!

@JTKirk 12 дней назад

@@Ibrahim_M I suspect getting that grille done won't be nearly as difficult as you suspect and you'll make quick work of it. You are absolutely right about how things look on screen vs real life, the '89 Batmobile being purple on set so it'd look black in camera is my favorite one. As for the batsuits, the Panther Suit and the Sonar suit are entirely different worlds so I am curious what you come up with. Even the cowls are different or I'd pick up the retail figure and plop it on the Clooney body, call it good enough for now.

@Ibrahim_M 9 дней назад

Yeah the cowl is requiring a fair bit of sculpt work! Luckily the McFarlane version is juuuust inaccurate enough to the sonar suit that I’m able to augment it pretty easily into the Panther version 😂

@LEXINGTONSMYTHE 15 дней назад

I’m not a fan of the Kilmer Batmobile but you certainly improved the colour and lighting and it’s always a pleasure to see your work and listen to your enthusiasm. Nothing can beat the 1989 version but the 1966 version is a close runner up. I enjoyed the 1989 conversion you did and will get round to watching it again. Great video once again mate and all the best. Rod 👍

@Ibrahim_M 15 дней назад

Thanks so much, Rod! Yeah, I think a big part of it for me is that this car had the misfortune of being the first one after the 89 design. Anything that didn't completely reinvent the look (like say, the Tumbler) was going to suffer a bit by comparison. But it has grown on me a lot, and now I really want to put more time and effort into it, lol. Thanks as always for watching, my friend!

@LEXINGTONSMYTHE 15 дней назад

The 89 Batmobile was and still remains unique and is a thing of absolute beauty. 35 years later and it still thrills me to watch it on screen. You are right that anything else after that was going to suffer from comparisons and maybe that is a little unfair. The Tumbler and simplified The Batman version are decent efforts and are classics in their own right. The whole Keaton and Burton Batman thing for me is hard to beat. Cheers Ibrahim and look forward to more of your wonderful work. Rod 👍

@webzllove1122 8 дней назад

That's an interesting idea. I have mine being delivered later week and I was planning on using Blue Translucent Paint.

@Ibrahim_M 8 дней назад

Try a test shot first on something else that’s clear to see how it’ll work. Paint is pigment, so it’s going to create a new layer, even if it’s supposed to be transparent, and that can dull the light. I ended up painting mine to look metallic, and some light can definitely still pass through, but it’s pretty obscured. (That was solid paint tho).

@webzllove1122 8 дней назад

@Ibrahim_M Good point. I was also looking at blue translucent vinyl tape. How do you thing that would work??? I'm new to customizing.

@Ibrahim_M 8 дней назад

⁠I think that would work better- it would be much more similar to what I did with the light gel sheets. The nice thing about using stuff like that is that it’s a single consistency, whereas paint can end up being overpainted. And the bonus is that you can just peel it off if it doesn’t work, haha.
