Custom Hot Wheels 1:18 Batmobile Mods: 5
Tim Meyer from TPM Customs is at it again! Here is his latest tricked out 1:18 Hot Wheels Batmobile (currently on eBay) sporting most of his previous upgrades and adding lights and a set of accurized antlers from our new parts upgrade set - this is one hot Batmobile!
Tim handwired tiny model railroad lights inside the hood and is powering them with a regular 9V battery. Lighted parts: Batphone, Detectoscope, 5 colored dash lights, bat-ray (front turn signals) and the beacon! Other new details - this car is sporting a set of our new accurately shaped resin antlers and take a look at the tiny barris “saturn” emblem on the front quarter-panels. This detail will be available freshly sized, in our decal and photo-etched sets. For those of you who aren’t modelers and have been asking about our build-up/upgrade services - now’s your chance - get to eBay!
This past birthday
I turned 44
I smelled of cake and whiskey
Full of home cooked and near
lovin’ she handed me the box.
Not too big, weighed a few pounds
Wrapped in battered brown.
Humming she smiles.
My hands get greedy.
The sound of years, falling away
First a sigh then laughter
Some stareing, a grin.
It is Saturday and I am 6 yrs old.
It is my birthday.

Tim I just wanted to complement you on the very nice job you did on your Batmobile. I also want to congradulate you on the great success of the auction. I was very eager to know what people are willing to pay for such a detailed piece. I was curious to see if it would top out at the Super elite price. I have my answer…. Wow! Again Congratulations.

Hey Tim,
Excellent Batmobile, looks great. I also have a 1:18 model as well. But l would like know where you got the Batman and Robin figures,how much do they cost as I would like to get a hold of some also if possible.

NICE!
Great job Tim!
I had a couple of the resin kits and sold those to get the upcoming
Elite edition…I’m looking forward to “retro-ing” the Elite to match
Bat-1.
Now if I can fine a kit of the Batboat I’ll custom it with the Batmobile to match my customized Corgi Batmobile and Batboat set.
