Come on

Come on... this is quite clever... Put a bit of effort in to that. Well done. Looks good!

I wouldn't mind being talented enough (or more likely motivated outside of work) to do that :-)

That time would have been better spent hanging drywall in your garage.

Really? Are you serious? This guy builds a full scale replica of the effing tumbler from batman, and you have to rip on him for not having a full-drywalled garage? The next time you build something as complex and impressive, let me know, i'll take a look at your pictures and rip on you for your broken lawn mower in the background or something. I hope you feel better about your lazy ass.

tumbler orgins

Nolan's crew had to get the idea for the tumbler from this movie 1944 Mr.Winkle goes to war with Edward G. Robinson. The whole front end, tires and all to mid section of the vehicle. I was amazed at how exactly how this vehicle copy the tumbler. Fans when you get a chance pause it and examine!
