Vanzo 1989 Batmobile

 I am Back, Man (Batman)

After a long hiatus from building and updating the blog due to work and other happenings in life, I am (hopefully) back with a more regular update on the blog and to clear as many backlogs as possible. Before I am able to continue with all the kits which are currently in the WIP stage, I will have to transport them over as I have been relocated to another state for work and the rest of my kits are still in my hometown.

First post after returning will be about the best Batmobile in Batman history: 1989 Batmobile from Vanzo. Vanzo is an air freshener company which are "mainly" made of plant extracts and contains zero alcohol, formaldehyde, benzene and toluene. The missus saw it on Instagram and shared the post with me. One thing led to the next and I am waiting for the product to arrive.

Decool 7116 The Ultimate Batmobile - WIP 1

WOW!! That's huge

First off I would like to apologise for the hiatus from this blog for so long. Mentioned in the previous post that I got a new job and can't seem to find either the time or mood to do any model kits or bricks building until the recent Christmas break (I have been riding a lot but just around the little island). I went to the 'toy room' and took this st out. It is the Decool's version of The Batmobile Ultimate Collectors Edition from Lego but at a cheaper price.

Without anymore delays, let's get on with the built.

Decool 7105 Batmobile - WIP 3 (Final)

Final leg of the journey

 

With most of the assembly completed in the previous post, there are a few more minor things to add-in to the Tumbler such as weapons and a couple of flaps, give it some wheels and it is ready for action.

The flaps on the top can be individually moved.

 

Decool 7105 Batmobile - WIP 2

Seriously?? Here we go again...

 

Instead of slowly figuring out which pieces goes where in the previous post, I asked my most knowledgeable best friend, Mr. G., for help. He manage to get me the online instruction of this build from Lego Brick Instructions.

 

With the instructions on hand, I proceed to build the Tumbler layer cake.

Decool 7105 Batmobile - WIP 1

Err...Where are the rest of the instructions?

Another brick set from Decool. This is the 7105 Batmobile set which is from the Lego 7888: The Tumbler: Joker's Ice Cream Surprise.

 

As with the other sets from Decool, this does not come complete with the ice-cream truck and Joker's henchman. The batmobile design is from Batman Begins trilogy. Somehow I prefer this design to the Decool 7111 Tumbler. This design makes the tumbler looks sportier.
