Batcycle (Batman 89 Comic)

Joe Quinones’ “Batman 89” is the first official continuation of the Burton-Keaton Bat universe. (And it’s sequel “Batman 89 Echoes.”) I haven’t really been sold on the writing of either, but Quinones’ art and design work is excellent! Among those designs is an era-appropriate Batcycle. Imagine my surprise when I (read more...)

Whirly-Bat

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 (read more...)

Arkham Asylum Gate

InPrintCondition developed some great 3D files while they were operating. They primarily developed Star Wars stuff (which was excellent), but I was more excited for their Gotham-based stuff. I have several sets of files to work through. This Arkham Asylum gate is a prime example of their work. It is (read more...)

Brainiac’s Skullship

I don’t collect or customize much in the “Super Powers” scale, but I know several folks who do, and I enjoy seeing their work. Somewhere in that world, photos of this Brainiac ship started to bubble up. Turns out it was designed by DFSergent on Thingiverse, and it’s a totally (read more...)

Tantive IV (Blockade Runner)

Some time ago, the lovely and talented Tyke Smyers directed me to some 3D files being sold by Greeblerelf, The files in question were Greeblerelf’s version of Kenner-style Tantive IV Blockade Runner, as if it were produced circa 1978. I don’t make a whole lot of “retro” Star Wars stuff (read more...)

Batmobile ’89 Shields

The 1989 Batmobile needs its shields, right? Can’t leave home without ’em! Ryan Meyers 3D sculpted these, and I couldn’t wait to print the files. I used Siraya Blu Nylon Black, for durability and flex, on my Elegoo Jupiter. I had expected to glue the parts together along the edges (read more...)

Redbird

Back in the 90s, Robin (Tim Drake) drove his own sweet ride, known as the “Redbird.” Aside from a die-cast Eaglemoss version, I don’t think it’s been made as a toy. For this rendition, I started with one of the budget-priced, Spinmaster Batmobiles intended for their 12″ figures. Like previous (read more...)

Batskiboat

When I took the plunge into 3D printing, it was with the goal of producing 1:12 and 1:10 vehicles, large though they may be. High on that list of potential projects was the Batskiboat from “Batman Returns.” I worked with a set of files developed by CGmorph on CGTrader. (read more...)

Batmobile (Beware the Batman)

It’s time for another edition of “3D-Printed Batmobiles!” This time it’s from “Beware the Batman,” a criminally underrated show Cartoon Network sought to sabotage when it aired. Once again my thanks go to digitallyforgeddesigns, who digitally sculpted this beast. Without his obvious affection for Batmobiles, none of these projects could (read more...)

Chachapoyan Alter

Another fine 3D sculpt brought to you by Charveys3D! Printed with Siraya Fast tech Grey on an Elegoo Jupiter. The main body is hollow, of course. After painting it, I applied lines of glue along the seams and cracks, and then sprinkled with “Army Painter” grass, for that mossy growth (read more...)
