you could also hire a car customs shop to make one, however, they may not be 100% accurate, a guy named Bob Butts made molds that are 1 to 1 to the original, they are extremly rare and there are bootlegged molds that are actually really close but are just off in measurements (the front is 10 in. longer than the rear). watch "car masters: rust to riches", they find a real Bob Butts mold and make it street legal and 100% accurate to the original.

I believe (if I read the history correctly), there was only 1 futura built for public release and that was turned into Batmobile for the TV show.
The ones seen in other photos were concept prototypes and there were one a few (if not only 1) of those. The car itself was priced way too high for the times to be profitable to the Ford company as a public release and scrapped.

Unless it was a very poorly put together replica, you would be able to afford it anyway....

Created by Ford motor company's lead stylists Bill Schmidt and John Najjar and handbuilt in Italy by the legendary Ghia coachbuilding company. The Futura did not come cheap, in 1955 the project cost $250,000, which by conservative estimates is $2,300,000 in modern money.Nov. 30, 2019

The original Batmobile sold at auction in 2013 for $4.6 million USD, it resold at auction again in 2017 for $4.62 million USD setting a world record price for a TV/Movie car.

Ok

as I wrote in the Description...
The Batman and Robin models used in the cover picture are not available (at least not from me.) These were converted from XNA models found on Deviantart for use in SFM by me and I do not have permission of the releasing authors of the models to upload them (nor will I be asking for permission to do so. If you want them, you'll have to learn how to create/convert models, get them from the original authors or someone else.)

Okay, thank you for your answer :)

I don't do requests, unless I have interest in the model itself, then if I do, only when I want. Looking at that particular model, I have no interest. In fact, the whole concept itself is nuts. The Walker's cockpit is complete out to lunch with the morphed ship's design. Dynamically speaking, it should never be able to morph between the 2 shapes. It's too rigid(??), square(??) looking for a word to describe the fault of the concept. And there's something wrong in the mechanism concepts of the wings into the legs, feet and weapons as well. I wouldn't try to convert that model. (personal opinion)
CraniamonUltimateKnight 30 Jun, 2018 @ 5:32am 
Hi Pte Jack :) I have a question: Do you accept the request please? Because, if it's possible and if you accept, can you port the Walker with the legs (to the right) from this link please? https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/51aeecaf-b228-4582-942e-f05d140d430e/Arwing-Zero

I didn't throw metal into the specular maps and I downgraded the PBR. If you need PBR based maps, decompile the model, and take it into Substance Painter and redo them. That's all I can suggest.
SD 10 Jan, 2018 @ 1:01pm 
The metallic areas. They're PBR based. from the materials I've been going with ingame
Pte Jack  [author] 7 Jan, 2018 @ 8:47am 
Where? Exactly.
SD 7 Jan, 2018 @ 7:17am 
The materials are wrong in some areas

Capt Fuzzy 3 Jan, 2018 @ 1:26pm 
@drumstick1113 - I'm with ya on that one, we need ALL the original Ghostbusters characters, but so far, all I've found is the Sta-Puft Marshmellow Man...
Capt Fuzzy 3 Jan, 2018 @ 1:24pm 
AWESOME!!
This was the Batman that I grew up with as well, this and the original Batman comics, that is!
Pte Jack  [author] 3 Jan, 2018 @ 7:32am 
Yeah, I thought about doing that but when I shine things up, I get complaints that they're too shiny and can;t be used.
AndyDatPyro 3 Jan, 2018 @ 12:22am 
needs a new waxing on the chassis, but other wise its great!
drumstick1113 31 Dec, 2017 @ 1:11am 
All we need now is the ECTO-1 from Ghostbusters and my life will be complete!
