Scooter's Custom Batcave

Friday, February 8, 2008

He blinded me with bat-science.

We had a really fun time figuring out how to model the chemistry set. We had a few parts put aside that were left over from the 50's Polar Lights Batmobile model. But we wanted to make two lab tables (see reference cave photo below) and needed a bunch more tubing and glassware.

We cut several clear sprues into smaller tubes and then molded some beakers and larger pieces by using a hot glue gun into a bowl of ice water and sort of sculpting the shapes we wanted. Colored potions were provided by using Tamiya clear color acrylic paints and we mixed a couple of our own as well. Additionally in this table we used: A christmas tree light bulb, a small fuse, an end to a guitar string, paper clips, scrounged bases, wire, a part from a star trek set and a glue container lid.
