Whirly-Bat
Posted on August 12, 2024
Difficulty: 
I got into 3D resin printing so I could make my own action figure heads and vehicles. Most of those vehicles tend to be big Batmobiles, but this Whirly-Bat is an excellent example of what can be achieved on a more modest level.
The 3D files were developed by japjxp on Thingiverse. (Free!) I scaled the files up to 1:12. Once printed, I opted for what I thought a Batman 1966 paint job might look like.
While I am happy to have the files for my own use, they are a bit janky in places. Somethings are not quite centered. Just FYI, should you use them.

Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Basic: Some modified parts. Mostly a new paint job.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
