Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you!

Under Glass here (somehow picked up the pictures of Nigel's yellow Mythos in the preview - a nice build, I think!):

Incredible! Beautiful idea and execution.

I'd proudly display that build in my cabinet. I think it really stands out in yellow.

Thank you! I highly recommend you pick one up and build it! It's molded in red - so plan accordingly.

That's awesome! The yellow really suites the car - every picture I've seen of the Mythos makes me think that surely Ferrari didn't have to use "Ferrari Red". ? I like the gunmetal treatment of the wheels - really emphasizes their character. Wish I'd thought of that, especially since I painted the car gray. I had trouble getting the metal scripts to stay - you can see that I lost the "Ferrari" on the rear between the bench and taking pictures in the kitchen. Do you recall having trouble getting the head light covers to properly sit? I see that you had more success than I did with getting the interior tub to sit properly with the body. Nice build!

Really great build!

Thank you. I wanted to build it silver or gray from the start - all Ferrari's are red, right? Thank you! It is a wide car, for sure. Would love to see your yellow one - do you have pictures? thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you. As far as I know, there was only the one concept car built.

Well, this one took a minute. I bought this kit when it first came out, which I think was in 1991. It followed me around, unbuilt, until I started building it in 2002 or 2003. Then, life happened, and it got put away. I dug it out late last year (2022) with the intention of finishing it over Christmas break. No, make that finishing it by January 1st, 2023. Well, how about I finish it in March? Special thanks to Leroy Long for helping me along with a missing part. Painted Tamiya Light Gun Metal TS-42, with Tamiya Semi-Gloss Bright Gun Metal TS-100 for the interior. Polished out with Tamiya finishing compounds. I added Eduard photoetched seatbelts, and that's it. I think during final assembly, I got the rear of the cockpit tub a little low, as there is a small gap just behind the seats that I think shouldn't be there. But it's done now. WIP here:

At last ...

Joseph is a great guy to deal with! Highly, highly recommended.

Final mockup before committing the body and chassis together with glue. I'm afraid to polish any more ...

So I had this self-imposed deadline of January 1st. hahahaha I got some paint on the car again, and a first coat of clear. Progress! Quick mock up ... I got a second coat of clear on it late yesterday. Now to polish - hopefully without any new disaster.

Hopefully, back on track. After a couple of days in the "Purple Pond", I was left with this. We had a few cool days here, and I think being cool outside (and in the garage) kept the cleaner from doing its stuff. But not to fear ... 91% isopropyl alcohol, and elbow grease, I had better results (And yes, practice safety - wear gloves, don't breath the isopropyl alcohol vapors, etc., etc.!) I still had to do some light sanding and scrape out the panel lines again. First coat of primer, flowed by a light sand. I need to do one final coat of primer and then I think I can paint again. But it's raining like crazy today.

Welcome, Blake. Whereabouts in NC are you? I grew up not too far from Fayetteville - and if you're ever in that area, go visit Hayes Hobby House. If you're ever in the Triangle area, go visit Hanger 18 Hobbies in Cary. Both are great shops.

I'm really enjoying this! Excellent work.

A great idea! Looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

Oops. So .... I thought I'd touch up the dash and use more of a flat black than the dark gray. Mind you, I've completed everything else and all that remained was final assembly. Removed the masking tape - and removed the paint. Oopsy. I think this is related to whatever primer I used initially (I don't recall). So, looks like a strip and repaint is in order for the body. Oh, so close ....

This is incredible work!

Interesting bit of history and what a beautiful save! So cool!

Wow! This is outstanding!

This ^^^

Beautiful work. This is the car that always comes to mind when I hear "Lamborghini". I know they've built some amazing cars over the years, but the early Countach is the one to have in my book. Very nice build!
