The goal is to build a model of anything that existed in 1980s and how it appeared (or would have) in the 80s. We are talking load outs, fitments, modifications, paint schemes, graphics…etc. Anything goes from figures to space craft.

I’ve tried to cover everything but I could have missed something.
Yes, I have two different Keaton Batmobiles and will build one of them. The second one comes with the removable engine that the Penguin pulled when he booby trapped it in the second movie. The other one is the standard 1989 version.
I’ve got this big scale Pontiac Firebird that i’ve had in storage for a decade. The Body has a big crack across the very weak roof. It looks to have been repaired on the a pillar as well. It looks like the only other casualty was a torsion roll bar is broken. The rest of the kit appears to be there, just very dusty.
step one is some clean up of the large amounts of sag on most of the body panels. I’ve also started the engine build. yes that’s a 1/24 scale Morris mini. i spray painted the transmission in tamiya silver leaf.
With growing up near Raceway Park in Englishtown I was always down there. My favorites were the Pro Stock and Super Stock classes.
I still cant beleive they shut down the drag strip. Said the insurance was too much but they still do motorcross, BMX, gocart racing, a road course and drifting. [*-)]
