3DThe Batwing

japetus

Taking a break from my other projects to try to knock another project off the bucket list, at least enough to say I tried. My favorite movie as a kid and favorite superhero of all time...Batman! Always loved the Tim Burton Batman, mostly the first movie. Decided to give the Batwing a go. Got some crazy shapes, but I've made a lot of progress in a couple days. Hopefully I can bang it out fast for fun!

My progress...trying to do hardest shapes first..

Very nice.

Very nice! Always loved Burton's take on this and the Batmobile. That they carried it over to the animated series made it even more fun.

You planning on recreating the moon shot?

Perhaps, that's such an iconic shot from my childhood! Thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Looks like a great start. Love this version of the Batwing.

trekki

Nice start! 😉

japetus

Did a bit more today, adding surfaces, making holes for weapons....

BolianAdmiral

Coming along great. This and the Keaton Batmobile are my favorite parts of the Burton Batman.

When he was lining up the Joker and the goggles slid out I got the audience to laugh saying “Use the Force, Bruce!”

japetus

Finally dove in and modeled panels....was a bit nervous at first but it's looking good I think. Just a few more to go...

trekki

Nice details 👍

japetus

Think the outside modeling is about done. Added lots of panels, gatling guns, tweaked a lot..

My favorite version of the Batwing, and it looks like you're doing it justice.

japetus

Some materials and textures on it now....

ashleytinger

Just needs Michael Keaton in a suit with no neck

japetus

Did a bit more work and added rivets to the batwing, you can see them in some closeups of the model and it helps it look more like a real aircraft!

Barricade

Just curious, but after you finish this (not that you have much left, if any, because good god that looks good/finished/movie quality), but would you happen to be doing the animated series version?

ashleytinger

I love this model so much. Awesome job

japetus

Working on some cockpit stuff... doing the best i can tell from the pitch black movie stills and some creativity...lol
