The Freezemobile presented another monumental challenge to Ling and TFX's Pike and Charley Zurian. "I loved the idea that for Mr. Freeze's vehicle, you have to have something bigger than he is," notes Ling. "And when he's in costume, Mr. Freeze is humongous. The bigger challenge was that the design of the exterior had to reflect Freeze World, with a riveted-armor paneled front and a sliding canopy top. It also required huge wheels, so that it feels like a tractor or steam engine is coming right at you."
"The Freezemobile is 26 feet long and nine feet high," notes Zurian, "as big as a motor home. We attached plywood and foam to the frame, and from that, used our three-axis mill and cut out the surface of the vehicle. Then we fiberglassed the whole thing, and atop of that, applied foil to give it the natural metal look."
