Spidermobile?!?!?

I was thinking the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust. Now that would be a challenge. I assume the photo is blurred to protect the identity of the guilty .

I've always been a big fan of the Spider-man character.
While I might not have been a big comic book reader as a kid, I enjoyed watching the old Spiderman cartoons on TV.
I'm still humming the theme song to this day!

The Sam Raimi Spiderman movies reignited my passion for this comic book superhero, and I have enjoyed all the Marvel Universe films since.

The internet Comics database has allowed me to read some of the comics I have never seen before and learn more about the characters that interest me.
And thats how I discovered that Spider-man was once offered his own car.
It was apparently a short lived thing...he wasn't that interested in having a car...but it played a major part in at least one comic book issue.



Since I also have a personal love and history with Dune Buggies and kit cars, the Spider-mobile was even more interesting for me!
And so I decided to fill a nagging void in my Koolwheelz collection...the lack of a proper Dune Buggy style car.

For reference I ignored any later appearances of the Spidermobile and all future versions of a Spiderman car.
There was apparently a full size real dune buggy version built for a theme park too.

To create my Koolwheelz version, I decided to use only the first appearance of the Spider-mobile from Issue 130 of Amazing Spider-Man comics (1974).
The comic strip panels show limited views of the car, but I had enought to work with.
Whatever I couldn't see in the comic strips, I imagined...but I also had to restyle for simplified Koolwheelz design.

Assembly does require a bit of patience...and I have created a separate assembly sheet to help.
Find it at my papermodelforum.com.

Find the Spider-Mobile in the Cartoonz section of Koolwheelz.

That looks awesome, and very niche as well

Q: Where can I get a model of the Spider-Mobile?

A: On the web!

Hahahaha!

No wait- that's just crickets...

[airdave]

hahahahaha I love those kind of jokes.

Why does Spiderman always have an answer?

Because with great power comes great response-ability!

Oh joy, the Spidermobile😊😊😊 It may be a 'fiasco', but, it's the Spidermobile. (You may tell I'm quite excited by this Koolwheelz). Takes me back to the 70s reading Spiderman as a kid.
Thanks Dave.
