Madhatter Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 hey everyone Yeah I know, it's another car from me, but I just finished this one off today and despite a couple of hiccups, I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. I'm giving this one to my son who is a mad Lambo fan. I'm sure he'll like it. Undercoated in Gundam metallic red and then over coated with Alclad Candy Red with SMS 2k clear coat. I did have a mirror finish on it before I started the final assembly but I managed to twice leave a finger imprint into the front top bonnet panel and that was due to the lights not fitting as they should and me pressing too hard in the wrong place. I was so proud of it then too up until that point. Anyways, enough yapping, pic time: Anyways, that's it. If it's another nice day tomorrow, I'll take some outdoor shots as it looks sensational in the light As always, thanks for stopping in and having a look Si 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhatter Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Thanks guys I know there are a lot of quality issues going on here - especially at the back, but this kit fought me a lot and I also just noticed that the rear right diffuser is hanging on by a a thread of hope. Gotta fix that As threatened, I took some day time shots whilst there was a ray of sunshine out today. Somehow, I get that feeling that this was the only ray I'd get for the rest of the week - right on the last few days of my holiday too. Well, I think that's more than enough photos. Thanks for indulging me See you around Si 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncbuckeye67 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 In spite of your hiccup, it still looks amazing! I've been wanting to do a candy paint job, but not quite sure of the best way to pull it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 thanks guys. Jeff, candy paint jobs are a PITA to get right. Its taken me years to be able to get one to come out right, but this one did - despite the damned impression made by me sausage fingers.

Coyote_6 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) Dude! Sick paint choice and awesome build overall. Just awesome and cool details. I especially like the silver lips on the wheels. I am working this same model right now and don't be too hard on yourself - the headlights and the black filler piece are TOUGH!! Anyway, great build and great color choice. Steve PS - nice carbon fiber choices. I am CFing the wing and those cool batwing vents on mine. Edited September 20 by Coyote_6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrm Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Very cool model. I personally think that LB has been grossly overrated and I am not a big fan of most of their cars. But the models Aoshima is putting out (and AutoArt in die cast) are definitely eye catching. Looks like you did a very good job with this one and really like the color. Looks like one fine paint job too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
