Wayne Manor and Batcave

After seeing the treatment of both Wayne Manor and the Batcave in the second Lego Batman video game, I was inspired to build it in brick. The idea of it being shaped like the bat symbol really impressed me, especially with the challenge it presented with building it in brick; especially as the game version is simply polygons.

My scale was set by the windows, and I built out from there. After building the frame, the trick to stabilise the shape was very difficult, especially with so many hinges, but I managed to find the balance. The landscaping was kept to a minimum both for time reasons and also to not take any focus away from the manor itself.

The Batcave was a lot of fun to build and features a huge collection of LEDs to light it, including one that cycles through in the console. The suits wall was fun to build too.

I will admit, it is a little short, but perhaps one day I'll give it a little more height.

This was first displayed at Brickvention 2015 on a super heroes corner of my club's train layout and has been displayed about 15 times since both with the train layout and as it is displayed here.

One day, I'll get around to the interior of the manor...
