The Lamborghini show room
Posted by Jimbob on Saturday, October 31, 2020 3:44 PM

Hi all, 

 

I've been building models for a while now and throughly enjoy it. 

My current goal is to create my own Lamborghini show room. I've always wanted a Diablo but doubtful ill ever own one so the next best thing.... A miniature Lamborghini show room.

There's a couple of these in not happy with and in the future will redo some of them. From model to model I'm trying to improve my skills and get closer to a perfect model. Not there yet but better skills and equipment is getting me closer.

Please give me some constructive feedback.

    Good start on your collection and show roomCool. I have always said the great thing about models is you CAN own a Lambrogini, a MIG, or evan a fleet of battlships and subs.

   Look on the bright side....your insuance is WAY cheaper with the family truxter than a fancy sports car. Would be fun thoughBig Smile.

we're modelers it's what we do

Maybe wet sand between coats for a better finish.  Funny you posted this.  I saw the very rare Lambo Countach today in red.  Ferruccio certainly has come a long way from building tractors.

I normally wets and the clear coat at the end. Are you suggesting a wet sand if the base coat? 

 

What I've struggled with in the past is clear parts but now using canopy glue which has helped. 

 

Currently working on a Huricanne, and the rear bumper will not fit, driving me Insaine.

only built one car but I was happy with the finish.  If I remember I believe the process was clean body, primer, wet sand with 2000, color coat, clear coat, wet sand 2000, color coat, clear coat, wet sand 2500, polish with tamiya, let dry, polish with tamiya finish.

Nice collection. I considered doing a similar thing with corvettes, but didn't get that far..

Hi; Well;

You can keep them all except the Dark blue? One and the Light Green one. I like them all But those two are ones I have ridden in!

 There are quite a few exotic autos running around New Braunfels ,Texas! It's not impossible on a nice day to see at least ten or twelve. From Mase's to Rolls's and Lambos and a few Ford Types.
