Wow! You are going the full shiny! Wouldn't you just love to drive one of those for a while?

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 5:35 am

Awesome

Was looking forward to a build when I saw you got the paint and kit
Haven't built this manufacturer before, interesting to watch

Post by **SMAddict66** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 8:35 pm

Really looking forward to seeing this build Paul. I have one of these in my stash,without the etch and can't wait to see this come together.

Right so made start on this tonight

First off pics of all the aftermarket for the kit, i have a couple sets so some parts crossover with doubles

Nice resin brake callipers

I use this term in the loosest sense of the words "Instructions"

After about 2.5 hours last night i managed to get 2 discs together, made form 9 pieces of pe each they were fun to assemble

Post by **Homerlovesbeer** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 12:23 pm

Those disks have come up beautifully Paul. Well worth the 2.5 hours of frustration and choice words (I'm imagining)

Superior detail! a 1/24 scale kit, you must have a magnifying glass to see all that stuff.

Post by **chief5437** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 4:52 pm

They look the dogs! I've got similar for mine, was wondering what they'd look like. Colour me impressed, hope mine turn out like that!

The name is in the title goose lol

Anyway i managed to get all four discs built up, took about 4 hours work in total.

I then had to get the hub of the back of the plastic kits kits and glue in position on the pe ones

I cut of the excess with my snips then sanded back with a Ultimate 180 thinny stick

The glued in place

Primed and painted up everything, the callipered were painted in mr hobby h4 (i think) yellow then the Lamborghini decal applied and glossed with aqua gloss then glued in position. The discs were painted in H77 mr hobby tire black then lightly dusted with a lighter grey colour. the hub detail was detail painted by hand.

Still need to strip the chrome effect of the rims today and paint them up

The chassis and running gear were painted in alclad black primer and detail painted by hand using humbrol metal coat on the suspension arms

great work Paul!

Post by **Timplastic** » Wed Jan 27, 2016 11:45 am

Yeah that's looking good Paul
Very on the discs
Will be interesting to see which way you end up painting the wheels, so many options

And did I read it right
HUMBROL !!!!
New thought I would see the day

Post by **Paul** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 10:25 am

Progress on the Aoshima Lamborghini. I Matt blacked the wheels after stripping the chrome off with some bleach. Think I'm going to stick with this as I think the contrast between glossy green and Matt black will look good.
Also got the engine assembled and painted up with alclads. The main engine cover has a really nice carbon effect decal and using the aftermarket metal decals they look good

Post by **Filmman586** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 11:11 am

Wow! Looks awesome Paul!

Post by **EasyEight96** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 1:20 pm

I could hear the engine roaring already great work Paul

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 4:36 pm

Wheel and body colour look great together, good choice

The engine is coming together nicely as well

Time to get the hand scrubber going on those murky fingers mate

Donk looks superb. You must have hawk eyes.

Post by **Paul** » Sun Jan 31, 2016 12:59 am

Got the Aventador primed and sprayed today. Primed in alclad white microfiller primer then taken back with 2500 wet and dry then the base colour sprayed on too. Looks like kermit the frog exploded in my spray booth lol.
Still got the pearl coat to do then the clearcoat

Post by **Homerlovesbeer** » Sun Jan 31, 2016 10:08 am

That looks really good Paul. It will look very tasty with the pearl coat

Post by **Rallychef** » Sun Jan 31, 2016 10:43 am

Great progress Paul. Loving the colour.

So on with the body

Flatted to green base colour in prep for the pearl coat

And glossed using the Hiroboy 2 pack system, which works great

I still need to flat and compound then wax it

A short 2 minute video showing the finish

Well done Paul, the paint looks excellent. Shame about tose pesky hairs ruining the finish, in the most prominent places too!

How will you fix those up?

Micromesh and polishing compounds...i hope lol

Post by **Paul** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 12:08 am

A few hours tonight cutting and polishing the aventadors bodywork, using 4000, 6000, 8000 and 12000 grade micro mesh and the Ultimate thinny sponge for any particles/hairs caught in the clear coat. I used tamiya compounds with the micro mesh and then polished with them at the end. The body still needs waxing for a real shine but ill do that at the end when its complete smile emoticon
Its not perfect but for my first car in years I'm happy with it and should be better next time.

Post by **Paul** » Wed Feb 10, 2016 1:32 pm

Loving this build at the minute

Lots of fiddly bits left to do but a great kit I'm having fun building, you will certainly see more road vehicles form me in future.

Fiddly masking for the green trim

Went with satin black wheels in the end

Started getting the grills and lights in place

Post by **pg265** » Wed Feb 10, 2016 8:55 pm

Hi,

I must admit that I've never been a Lamborghini fan, but your built is beautiful.
Brakes are a real improvement and your paint job is just perfect!
Bravo!

Pascal

Post by **Pacheco** » Wed Feb 10, 2016 9:48 pm

Looks great. I like the color.

Post by **Homerlovesbeer** » Thu Feb 11, 2016 2:48 am

Great progress Paul!

Just a little tip, before you fix the lights in place go around the edges with a black Sharpie to add the effect of the lights being sealed in place.

Post by **Paul** » Fri Feb 12, 2016 8:53 am

So got the black trim on and glass in

And got the metallic decals on too, which are a huge improvement on the kit decals

Post by **Homerlovesbeer** » Fri Feb 12, 2016 9:38 am

Beautiful Paul! The paint looks spectacular and with the lights in it's really coming alive.

Post by **TheSmoo** » Sat Feb 13, 2016 12:48 am

the black trim against the green really makes the bodywork pop great job

Post by **Paul** » Sat Feb 13, 2016 1:48 am

Last update before the final reveal, i did a small update in my section on the news show and did this at the bench update today too

[youtube]ep5l2V0hycU[/youtube]

Got the doors all built today and attached and they work too

and gave the panel lines a wash too

Post by **Paul** » Sun Feb 14, 2016 12:24 am

Fine steps on the interior and getting stuff glued n place ready for the body

Final reveal is here http://www.intscalemodeller.com/viewtop ... 66&t=16571

love the detail painting, for someone with sausage fingers like myself, it looks simply stunning, you should be proud of yourself bro BUT YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO WIN YOUR OWN GB!!!!!...lol can't wait to see the final reveal bro

Awesome paint, awesome details, awesome metal badges
Just pretty darn awesome

Good to hear you have come over to the car nut side of things, looking forward to seeing more builds
Warning: Japanese engineered kits are far better than Revell, AMT etc. Those won't fly together anywhere as nicely as this one

Lastly, I don't know where you find time or energy to do all these builds, make videos, run a company, young child and on top of that normal work and life duties...hats off to you for that
