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...)

Tanis Map Room

InPrintConditon was a Patreon subscription that developed some amazing 3D playsets and accessories for printing. Sadly, they recently shuttered their doors, and the world is lesser for it. This is their Map Room playset. I printed using Siraya Fast Tech Grey in an Elegoo Jupiter. Most of the pieces are (read more...)

“Raiders” Basket and Crate

I was pleased Hasbro saw fit to bring us some 6″ Indiana Jones figures in 2023, short-lived though the line might be. I was equally pleased to see some of our industrious 3D sculptors create new accessories for said figures. The Cairo basket and Ark crate come courtesy of Charveys3D. (read more...)

Batmobile ’89

Someone once described McFarlane’s ’89 Batmobile toy as a $60 model kit, and that description is apt. I’ve wanted a proper 1/12th or 1/10th 1989 Batmobile for so long, and when we finally get one it falls short. Ignoring the fact it is undersized, my biggest complaint was the misshapen (read more...)

Batsignal

There are a LOT of Patreon subscriptions offering 3D print files. One of my favorites is Inprintcondition. Their stuff is always fun and useful! It’s mostly Star Wars (which I love, but don’t have room for), but there’s plenty of Gotham in there, too. (And Indiana Jones, and a few (read more...)
