  12. Hey, everyone! While i'm still working on how to make real factory hinges, i decided to finish off all the fenders, and fitments. Heres the body all primered up, and ready for finishing touches. -Photo 1; Everything is properly gapped, and flush. -Photo 2; I'm still not sure what i want to do to the chin spoiler of this fictional one of a kind Countach. -Photo 3; The fenders turned out great, and soon i will rescribe the rocker seams, fender seams, and add the strip of sheet metal hanging down from the bottom of the rockers. -Photo 4; No traces of where i cut out any of the molded in scripts. _photo 5; All the fender flares were rolled up out of the way, and just need a bit of glazing putty.
  13. Thanks, Dan!...very much appreciated! I'm just about to post another update...
  14. Even with all the issues you ran into, you have managed to build a Beautiful white/black Countach!!...i am so glad you stuck with it!! I'm especially jealous about the white paint job...i've failed 16 white/black Countach paintjobs over the years... its my favorite color combo for this car, but its also my nemesis. I WILL have one some day, just dont know when. Just a little bit of trivia here; Most people think the best color for the Countach was red, or black, and believed that the Periscope' was the best version -Ferruccio himself had a Countach that wasnt a Periscope', and it was white/black...he said that they were the perfect, only colors for a Countach.
  15. Hey, everyone!, after having to scrape off old Milliput that wasnt curing, i managed to replace it, and had almost enough to get it done right. It still needs some glazing putty since i had to make it go further. After all that, its moving along nicely once again. -Photo 1; Fenders are roughed on with putty. Badging holes also filled in. -Photo 2; I ran out of Milliput here, but Tamiya putty finished it off. -Photo 3; I temporarily glued styrene strips to the roof, A pillar, and door sill so that i get the proper fitment gapping while i work on the hinges, and keeping proper alignment. -Photo 4; I cut slots out for the door edges to tuck into. -Photo 5; I was just modifying the kit provided NACA ducts, but i felt like i overworked them to death, and decided to make brand new ones. -Photo 6; The original bits were notched to cover this area of the door sill, but i found it better/more realistic to blend it in butted-up. -Photo 7; Great door fitment with enough gapping for paint thickness. -Photo 8; Yep, i decided to make my own new door edges. I'm pointing at the area that will have the latch pins added to next. -Photo 9; The new NACA ducts really do look much better. -Photo 10&11; The stencil for my boot. -Photo 12; In order to make test fitting, and final assembly waaay easier, i'm gonna remove the rear bits of the wheel wells, and remake them as part of the boot assembly.
  16. I'm glad you like it that much, Emre! I've often thought like that, lol. Thats so cool that you still have that poster...mine will be a darker metallic gray -like a charcoal.
