My last update was almost 1 week ago, there has been a legitimate reason for this, as i was waiting on the arrival of my Lego Power Functions pieces, and obviously as the end of the project draws closer the updates will be bigger but spread out and less frequent.
On with the pictures and goodness hey? Here as always is an updated list of what has changed since the last update of 19th of January, followed in sequence by the pictures to reflect those updates.
Added Features
*changed the design of the Grandfather clock, added pendulum and painted it gold.
*extended the wall piece and included a custom painted gold picture frame.
*assembled and installed the furniture for the Study Room, including personal computer & desk, bookcase, lamp & couch.
*added the 3rd floor exterior wall to the study.
*finished the left hand side of the exterior wall and replaced incorrect colour bricks to the 3rd floor.
*finished the back monitor display for the computer room.
*added the 1x2 Grey corner pieces into the Elevator Chamber. (this isn't so noticeable but is quite intergral to the support between the 2nd and 3rd floors).

Also i've uploaded a very short video showing the elevator working, some points of note:
This is a preliminary design, intended to work out the mechanics, the next step is to reduce the bricks and size and try and install it into the batcave.
The elevator car appears to stick at the base of the chamber, i'm intending to modify the holding chamber so the car slots in and moves alot more freely, i'll possibly use tile pieces so there isn't as much friction.

Looking ahead
I am pretty close now to a final model, with the exception of the tiles and plates needed to finish the study and furniture (replacement of correct coloured bricks) the exterior wall and windows to the study and the installation of the Batcave its pretty much finished.
My intentions to keep adding to the batcave would be to install a small driveway and rockery to cover the entrance, for the Batmobile, this will come at a much later date though so expect there to be a substantial gap between the main building development and the driveway.
