This 1″ scale-model 1960s boys’ bedroom is scrumptiously obsessively fantastic. The details are just wild:
The room is electrified with an overhead light and a working “Buck Rogers” desk lamp. It matches the Buck Rogers toy chest at the foot of the captain’s bed. The chocolate lab wallpaper is a fabric remnant I found at my flea last year. The carpet is a buff wall-to-wall. Baseboards and cornices are stained in a dark early American. Scott has already begun a life-long hobby of as you can see from his movie poster collection…
The 1″ Batmobile is patterned after the one from the 1966 TV series…as was the original Aurora Model kit of that year. The original Batmobile was built by a custom car specialist/designer named George Barris. In 1955 an experimental car called the Lincoln Futura made quite a splash on the auto show circuit. Barris bought that very car and is the one he was commissioned to customize by the Batman TV show’s producers. He tricked it out, painted it black, added exhast pipes behind the passenger seats and gave it it’s sleek “Bat” look. The mini in my setting is a MicroMachine of the Lincoln Futura. I customized it to look like the Barris Batmobile. It is actually a tad larger than a real scale one would be as the Aurora model is only 6″ long..but it was so close, I had to use it :) Plus, it was fun to do my mini auto customizing job! :)
