Day 5: More paintwork So, did some masking and painting The sideskirts and the rear bumper got its black And a bit of a setback. Noticed that the color of the roof panel is a bit off. Seens like i skipped one coat of dark red when i sprayed it. Have to think a bit on how to go forward - leave it like it is, paint only the one part black or paint the whole roof black.

Ooh, green is really cool I'm thinking of doing one in shadow gray. The convertible in gray looks really awsome

That's what i was going for Sadly couldnt find any actual red mist paint so had to improvise a bit.

Day 4: Bodywork Did some priming Then did a few coats of black primer After that, a couple coats of cherry red And finally, a few coats of transparent red Looks pretty cool - like a ripe cherry Pretty happy how it turned out

Thank you guys!

Day 3: Interior Did some flocking Then glued the seats in And the interior is done!

Day 2: More interior work! Painted the dashboard trim in silver Steering wheel is done Center console is also done Was a bit pain to paint the buttons and apply decals - the are really small And also finished the dash

Wow, its been almost a month already Its about time to kick this build off. So let's begin Day 1: Prepwork Engine got its base paint Interior too got its paint Decided not to do some crazy two-tone interior and neonpink bodypaint - will do something simple and easy instead

Aaaaand done! 😁 Thank you guys for following along Simo.

Hi! Finally got this one done Wasn't so sure if i'm even able to put this thing together at all. Seemed like a really hard kit. But it was actually a really great and solid kit. Didn't have much issues at all. Really like the look of Lambos. They just look so cool - like spaceships. Usually the Aventadors are painted either in dark black or some variant of red. Wanted to do mine differently - in a more subtle and not so common paint. So went with the silver blue. Heres the WIP thread: Can now proudly display it alongside with my other Lambos Thanks for looking! Simo.

Looks pretty cool with the lights installed Anyway, the engine is done And interior is in along with the engine

Brakes and headlights are pretty much done And did some more work on the vents Not much left to do before final assembly

Got the body clear coated Then made some progress with the front vents. Had to sand and file quite a lot to get them to fit. Looks pretty cool already 😄

The center console got its decals: Door panels are done a bit of flocking The steering wheel is also done And interior is pretty much finished 😄

Did a bit of tape work And some paintwork And window trim is painted 😎 Some decal work is up next

Wont have to wait long 😁 First, did some wetsanding: Then some priming And some more And finally, the paint itself: Really happy how it turned out

Started prepping the body for the paint Glued some final pieces on and worked out a game plan on how to paint this thing. Will do a classic Lamborghini color (won't spoil it yet). Also did some work on the engine bay. Put the engine together. Its really is lacking some details: So thought i'd improvise a bit. Drilled out some scrap plastic: And added some coil wires 😁 Should look pretty cool once its in the car Also did a bit of work on the interior Some tape work: Some paintwork: And some detail work. Did screw up the buttons a bit, but still looks pretty cool 😁

So did a bit of thinking.......and measuring........and some glueing Got the sideskirts on: Added some supports for the doors And finally glued them on Then it was time for the interior: Did some washing: Then some painting: And this is how the base came out Looks pretty awesome.

I've yet to decide which way i'll go. Torn between two options - (won't spoil it much 😁). One is a red tone with a twist and the second one is a bit different than you're average C8, but still pretty classic. I'll probably go with option no.2 to make it a bit more interesting But will see

Haven't really done any work on this kit What bothers me the most is the doors - just dosen't like the idea of being able to open them. It seems like a novelty idea that creates a whole lot of issues. Usually they are pretty weak, won't sit right and needs a lot of work to build it. So i've decided that i'm going to glue them in place. Ideally before painting the body. This is a sure way to get the panel lines like i would like them to be. I'm not planning to display it with open doors anyway so its not an issue for me. My only consern is that i'm not 100% sure if its possible to put this thing together after painting and glueing everything. So i did a lot of testfitting, taping and thinking. I'm pretty sure its doable. So, i'm going to risk it - will glue them on before paint If anyone has tried this before and knows it won't work (or it will work) then let me know

Hi! Time to take up another supercar build. This time, its the C8 Corvette Not sure about what color i'm going for, but definitely not doing anything crazy. Maybe trying to do like something you would find in a rental service instead of a race tracks. Will see how this goes

Finally got this one done Had some issues, but pretty happy how it turned out

Got the inside guts put together Sadly lost one of the engine decals Headlights in Put the car together And it stands on its own

Bodywork is done 😁 Pretty happy how it turned out

Did some random stuff today Headlights are done Also the front grille is done. The brakes too And body is also ready for clear coat
