Of course I'm using the popcorn bucket version of the bug ship that Cinemark sold. The first thing I did was to paint the whole thing. It looks pretty cool as is, but I wanted to give it some more depth and detail. I designed and 3D printed a floor insert. I found a cool opening hatch STL, modified it, and included that in the floor as well. I 3D printed the console (and designed the graphics), plus some mounts for Ted's various arsenal and gadgets. The crates are also prints. The chairs are from Star Trek, but I printed swivel mounts for the bottoms of them so that they are a little taller and can turn around.

Lastly, I included some 90s era Justice league customs that I made forever ago. I still love them a lot, and it's fun to finally have a vehicle for them. Hope you enjoy!

Wow looks amazing I got all excited thinking that was coming out lol dang I want a Ted kord blue beetle
