Steamboat Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 What if Roadkill built a Lamborghini Countach with a Toronado transaxle and a twin-turbo 426 hemi mounted over the rear wheels? This is my take on it. I picked up a bunch of Countach's in a package deal on eBay. This one was missing the drivetrain and the front and rear bumpers, so I had to improvise. Paint is nail polish with Testors (ugh) clear lacquer, which dries rock hard with a lot of orange peel and is a pain to polish. If anyone can recommend a good clear that goes with nail polish, I'm listening... Hope you like the car. My first try at scratchbuilding a set of headers. I used aluminum welding wire. They came out OK, but it was extremely hard to make them match, especially in an area where they are highly visible. Other scratch built items are the turbos, turbo plumbing, ice box and parachute/wing mount. Also my first time using 3d printed parts which I made with my Anycubic Photon S. The valve covers, intake manifold, turbo exhaust outlets, and intake "hat" are all 3d printed. Steamboat
Steamboat Posted September 10, 2020 Author Posted September 10, 2020 Come on guys! Is it that heretical? Is everyone in shock?
DonW Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Lambo's are rubbish anyway. Close up and in the real world they are a bit less than well conceived and built. At least those of the Countach era. No tears shed here.
larry ray Posted September 11, 2020 Posted September 11, 2020 Roadkill will not build any thing that nice.
NYLIBUD Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Definitely something out of the box.Great job.
BeakDoc Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 That’s freaking wild! It’d be a brave soul who’d get behind the wheel of that beast.
Steamboat Posted September 24, 2020 Author Posted September 24, 2020 Thanks guys for all the kind words
grodudulle77 Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 Amazing model drag. Very nice work !!??
Metaldrumm Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Definitely cool and different,nice work.
Oldcarfan27 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 That's just sooo wrong, but absolutely creative and executed very well! Looks like something Jesse James and Monster Garage would have done - but they wouldn't have done such neat work with it. Great job, let's see some more wild stuff like this!!
