H.R. Giger Batmobile Concept (BATMAN FOREVER)

Here is my 3D model concept based on the unused H.R. Giger Batmobile designs for the movie, "BATMAN FOREVER". My model is a composite design based on several of his drawings. I improvised in some areas of the design that were unclear and/or made changes that I thought made the design more practical. Each wheel (8) contains an independent motor which is synchronized to work with the other wheels. The "machine guns" fire only rubber bullets or tear gas.
A earlier "blue version" of this model can be seen on the "Batmobile Documentary" on the "Dark Knight Rises" Blu-Ray/DVD bonus contents section (20m:12s time mark).
I have made about 3 different versions of the Giger Batmobile during a 15 year period. I made the first version to learn about NURBS modeling in 3DS Max. This bone white version is the third.
Giger originally wanted his design painted "Bone White" which explains the color on my version. I used to work as a graphic designer at MORPHEUS INTERNATIONAL, Giger's North American book publisher, so I have heard a lot interesting Giger stories. A special thanks goes out to James Cowan (publisher of MORPHEUS INTERNATIONAL) for helping get the Giger Batmobile into the documentary.
