    Hi, all resin parts were created printable by me and also printed by myself.
  2. MarcelT4
    Hello everyone, I've been doing some rivet counting. Then I tried out the white primer. And then I painted the interior in Alpine White. In comparison with the primer, I find that the Alpine White has a slight yellow tint.

    Here is a small update. Since the kit steering wheel is wrong, the correct one was created and printed. And tried out how to make the grilles for the rear lights.

    Hello everyone, I started this project some time ago. I just forgot to share it with you. I will now do so. I'll let the pictures do the talking. I hope I can inspire some of you with this.

    Hello, here's the final. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. It didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it to, but the many warped parts just threw a spanner in the works.

    After a long time, the work continues. I have completed the marriage of the body, interior and underbody and then fitted the rear diffuser and spoiler holder. The spoiler is still loose at the moment. It was quite a hard job to connect the holder with the underbody and the diffuser.

    A few pictures today. The driver's door has already been successfully installed. The interior has been tried out and fitted.

    I have something for you again. I tried to replace the bulky windshield wiper with a 3D printed part. I continued with the mirrors. The belts were also installed. Of course, these are also printed parts. And finally I painted and fitted the lamp lenses.

    It went on. The dashboard with steering wheel. And a trial run with wheels. I tinted the rear lights. Matches the white paint better. The heart. I hope you like it too.

    Here is another picture where you can see the pearl effect a little better.

    Hello, short update. Finished painting, decals and clearcoat on and everything loosely put together.
  12. MarcelT4
    Evening everyone. Things have now moved on here too. I have completely installed the turbo system. I gave the interior a printed shift gate including the gear knob and new pedals. You already know the printed seats. The dashboard is now also finished. The spare wheel flew out of the trunk. The body has been painted. Still without clear coat. Once again in detail. That's it again for now. Not much, but at least something.

    Just another small update. I have created and printed spring struts. Installed here. The drive shafts are now also in place. Front too. The intercoolers. And a first rear view. As I can't find a solution for the folding headlights, I'm going to make a compromise and no longer install the lighting.

    Hello, I'm going to ask you a question here. I want to light up the model, but I'm not really getting anywhere with the flip-up headlights. I've already racked my brains, but can't find a good solution as to how I could make the mechanism so that they fold up when the light is switched on. I've had ideas with push and pull solenoids, linear servo ....... Maybe someone has an idea that I haven't thought of yet. I look forward to your ideas.

    Here is the chassis with half of the interior. The engine got cooling water pipes, which I once again realized by 3D printing. (These are not included in the kit) Here are the rear wheels and brakes. And the body primed white. I did this in preparation for the white paint. It will be a white with pearl effect. I continue until the weekend.

    Small update. Seats Rear wheels. Maybe there'll be more tomorrow.
  17. MarcelT4
    Thank you. I have chosen pearl white as the color. The wheels will be black.

    Hello everyone, a little update. Unfortunately, I don't have much time, so it will probably take a while again. It's "only" a fitting test, but things are progressing.
  19. MarcelT4
    No, I created it myself in 3D based on blueprints. Then everything was scaled to the appropriate scale of the kit and adjusted to the dimensions if necessary.

    Just a few little things again today. Once again, the side air intakes don't fit at all, so they were separated in the middle, a piece of Evergreen inserted and sanded into shape. Then the Countach was fitted with a door lock and hood release. And the interior was painted. Unfortunately, that was it again.
  21. MarcelT4
    We continue with small steps. The interior was primed. The printed drive shafts were given their first color. None are included in the kit, only a steel axle is provided at the rear. The exhaust also got a coat of paint. The door with the new upholstery. And here is the seat with the console.
  22. MarcelT4
    As announced, there's a little update today. It doesn't really look like much, but it was very time-consuming. First I made the frame for the front hood. Then I removed the front inserts for the parking lights and indicators. New printed ones were then inserted here. One original and one copy. Why the whole thing? Well, I want to illuminate the model, so I put separate lights in there, which are also illuminated individually. Then I built a console for the seat and gave the interior a floor. Here's the test.
  23. MarcelT4
    Today I had some time to continue work here. I created and printed new mirrors, as well as the covers for the folding headlights. This is what the covers will look like on the model. There are also new seats (in Liberty Walk style). Tomorrow there will be more work.

    I had been thinking about what to do with the toy-like brakes. The solution was to replace everything. The brakes now consist of 3 parts. In the middle is the attachment to the suspension, where the brake disk is put on, then comes the spacer with the wheel nuts, on which the rim is put. This is how the 3 parts look on top of each other on the suspension. There's also something new for the interior.

    Hello, today I have another small update. I've tried to increase the degree of reality. Here is the trunk. My hinges will be added to the front, with the hood dipping behind the bumper when opened. I continued with the door hinges. These will also increase the degree of realism. (I got this idea from the Dann Tier. I hope he's not angry about it.) And here they are inserted. In the picture, the hinge that can be seen in the 2nd picture with the door has already been inserted. Here, too, the doors will then dip behind the fenders when opened, as on the original. I hope I have been able to inspire you a little with this.
