Hi Tron82

I made a kit of the Batmobile that was from the Val Kilmer 'Batman Forever' wayyyyy back then. I think I put bulbs in the kit.....LED's were harder to come by at that time.
I used opaque blue plastic from a document folder, like these:

.....to colour the bulbs. I made light boxes for the wheels and omitted the parts that came with the kit so that the wheels were static. I put a layer of the thinnest card I could get on the wheels so that when the lights were off they appeared white, I'll see if I can find some photos of it

Really interested to see your progress on these builds. Think you will be going through a bit of black paint 8)

Keaton 89 - Taking a turn around a corner with the grappling hook & cable on a telephone pole or other column.
Kilmer 95 - Going up the side of a building (I know, stupid idea in the movie but it would make an interesting dio)
Clooney 98 - Skidding/donuting on a patch of ice? Never saw that film all the way through.
