Foreign Vehicle build (Started)

[Haubenschild]

That Ferrari is beautiful Johnathan!

Here is some progress on the Countach. I need to clean up some overspray , but luckily there isnt much

[martinfan5]

Some work on the 599, painted the trim, the little side vent window is in, headlights, mesh grill

And I repainted the BMW, here is the new color , still needs clear coat

[Scuderia]

lookin' good i see you took my BMW idea lol

[martinfan5]

Been working on the chassis, what a pain, this is a very ill fitting kit, and it didnt help that I lowered the ride height.

[martinfan5]

Got more work done on the BMW , here it is after being clear coated

Chassis finished

Here is the new ride height

Getting the trim painted on

[Scuderia]

lookin' sweet. how did u drop the BMW down exactly? in case i get one of these

[martinfan5]

Starting on this one, Fujimi Lamborgini Gallado sportec kit, its a basic kit, it has some photo ech parts and different wheels (I bought because of the wheels ). As for the color, I am thinking either yellow or blue, not sure yet.

Stunning work guy's , I see what you mean about the superfine windscreen posts on the lambo now Liam .

[martinfan5]

Working on the chassis , and body in primer

and the interior

and worked on the brakes

[martinfan5]

Well, I think it may be time to close this one , I think it has run its course, I will leave it open tell the end of the month, then if I am the only still here, then it gets the axe

[sports850]

I'm still following the thread Jonathan , just stalled on my own builds . New job and new girlfriend limits time ....

[ffreak]

I too am still following it. I had to pause on the Lambo for some health issues, then had some other projects to finish up. I have gotten the Lambo back out last week until I had to put the wifey in the hospital for a knee replacement, now am taking care of her and the home !! But wanting to get back on track and try and get it done for the ACME show in nov. !!

[martinfan5]

Ok guys, I will leave it open for awhile longer, Danny, sorry to hear about the health problems you are your wife are having, but sounds like things are getting better, I am looking forward to seeing the Lambo finished.

I guess I should update, I have been working on the Lambo Gallardo, had to strip and repaint, but its back in paint and clear coat, so on the pics. I also have been working a 2006 Subaru WRX STI kit, but its been fighting me all the way, more on that later.

Interior almost done

Oh man. Dont shut it down. I am back on the bench!

[jonno356SC]

Hi, not sure if anyone is looking here any more. But I made a roller tongue buckle and a leather strap for the spare wheel.

[maltsr]

Wow, that's awesome Jon.

I still watch this thread, but haven't built any foreign cars recently. Have just bought a Maclaren, so hope to start that soon. Trouble is, where I come from it's American cars that are foreign (and my usual builds)!

[martinfan5]

Jon, I did not know you posted, great job, I just started working on the Aoshima Aventador kit, I will start post it in here

No worries Paul, come back when ever you have a build for it.

[sports850]

That's amazing Jon , well done .

[martinfan5]

Been working on Aoshima's Lambo Avendator kit, I will catch up with a lot pics

[martinfan5]

[martinfan5]

And the paint that I used

[Nick Winter]

I may have to build a Supra for this, have an MPC that someone started and I got it in a lot of kits I bought.

Nick

[martinfan5]

Well the bad luck struck, I was removing the doors from the body, and the right side door and body the paint was chipped

[maltsr]

Sorry to see that Jonathan, that usually happens to me too Hopefully you can touch it up without a full respray, it might not be too noticeable.

[martinfan5]

This is almost done, and the bad luck struck again, I lost a piece for the body, it was the gas cap door that has gone MIA, not sure what I am going to fix this one. The only idea I had wont work.
