Okay, okay, we are aware that we're a car website and that we're going slightly off-topic here but bear with us.

This is a Lego Technic version of the Tumbler Batmobile and it's the work of master Lego builder Pawel Kmiec.

Pawel has clearly put a lot of time and effort into creating this miniature Batmobile and he's even given it independent front suspension and a live rear axle, which technically makes the tiny Tumble quite similar to a Ford Mustang. Only cheaper.

The Tumbler is powered by two radio-controlled electric motors and features spring-loaded Lego canons. An LED light at the rear of the car creates a simulated 'flame' effect designed to mimic the real Tumbler's jet engine.

We think Pawel deserves a pat on the back for creating such an accurate replica of the Caped Crusader's jalopy out of tiny plastic bricks. Our only criticism is that the Tumbler is a bespoke car which can't be bought in the shops, so if you were hoping for a quick last-minute Christmas pressie idea, we're afraid you're out of luck.
