I was going to do the new Batmobile for the OMR but these 2 parts are (currently) unique to that set:

56074pb01, Windscreen 12 x 12 x 2 with Black Outline Pattern
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...only%22:0}
Also this windscreen has never been produced unpatterned. This is a new mold for this set.

52985, Tire 68.7 x 27 S
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...D#T=C&C=11

This request is merely for documentation purposes. Since these parts are part of a high dollar set and the individual piece prices are still quite high, I don't want anyone to break the bank trying to author them. I'll backburner this project until these molds are a bit more common.

I started work on the windscreen, I might need to ask for more orthogonal pics. Best source right now is NewE.

Brothers Brick is decent:

Here's the full article that also includes the tires:

But the New Elementary photo shows it from bottom, makes it easier to get the right profile.

Just got new pictures!

Update on the progress!

Nice. I’m about 1/3 done with the model that’ll use this.

A looking forward to see this model!

Here's a first render, it is clean-up time now to reorganized the file....

It is on the PT!

I need to adjust some cond-lines though...

... and I could not resist:

Has someone started to work on the 52985 Tyre?

I started it, it is divided into 26 sections, not nice :-)

Thank you

Here's the tyre, It is also on the PT, but I am still thinking of handing the sub-files differently.

Right now I have a sub-file of one section of the tread, which is 1/26th of a circle, giving me a pretty odd measurement for the angle, resulting in vertices that are not aligned.

So I am may change to a sub-file having 1/4 of the tread inside, which makes the vertices meet. Opinions?

But for the time being the files can be used, here's a comparision with the Unimog Tyre 92912:

1/26 for me...

I'm in the 1/4 camp. If the odd rotation angle causes vertex problems, then the extra file size is worth inlining to align the vertices.

Since 26 / 4 = 6.5, how do you propose to do that without changing the final geometry?

He's already done it. So all he would have to do is inline the s02 subfile into the s01 subfile.

...and I add in half of a tread into s01
