Penguin Arctic Roller - Ralston Rhino MkI 8-32 6x6

            I'm going to put it right out there at the start - I love the Lego Batman Movie. 

I love the unevolved idiot that Lego Batman is, voiced by Will Arnett. I like the movie more than the Lego Movie film, as the story is generally more cohesive, and has more to engage with as an adult.

And whereas many of the vehicles in Lego Movie are the kind of multi-colour mis-mash that a kid might build (no offense), a lot of what you see in Lego Batman Movie is pretty cool, whether something from the Batcave, or something driven by a villain.

That takes me to this ride, the featured car of the Penguin, known as the Arctic Roller. One standout feature of the car was the 6-wheels. There aren't a whole lot of 6-wheeled vintage cars out there, so I reused a vehicle architecture from my back catalog to reimagine the Penguin's ride on the Ralston Rhino MkI. The Ralston Rhino was a Flickr LUGNuts challenge to design your own car using the name, with the addition of a styling feature with a visual representation of a 'X'. This is seen with two examples in the classic upright radiator cowl. 

Rhino being an animal of great weight and power lest to a large Straight-8 engine, six wheels, and 6-wheel drive. The Lego Batman Movie car featured contrasting black and white paintwork with gold detailing, and obscue side-mounted fish, penguin hood ornament and opening rear escape hatch.

My Joker character is a miniland interpretation of the Penguin from 1992 'Batman Returns' played by Danny DeVito.

The Arctic Roller is presented here for Instagram #mocaroundgang #mocaround81 to the theme #herosandvillains hosted by @f1elevenbricks
