Ok started this months ago. Just a standard murcielago , Gonna add some spice and pearls to it :p Body as stated is Pearl Gunmetal Pearl Black. Interior will be Black/Brillant Orange. Something like that colour scheme you see avalible on the new Gallardo spyder.
Not much progress pictures as i couldnt have access to a good camera when i started. Will post progress on the interior and engine as it comes :grinyes:

Two tone colour means two colours... i got the idea from Ferrari 599.. they offer two tone colours too. As u can see from my picture the main body is gunmetal.. and the rest mainly the top is black.. i just mixed the colours with pearl to that the that paint.. the purple whitish flakes in the paint is the pearl

Godfather > Thanks man!

nice start, its kinda hard to see the purple in the first few photos.

Thanks!

Thanks!

If u take a look at the 4th and 5th picture ull see this purple bright spots some white... those small spots are all over the body and are only visible at a certain angle... those are pearl flakes.. from pearl paint... and there is no mixing ratio... the body is just painted in two colours that is very close on the colour chart

k great will try it out. so u mix the 2 colors w pearl together then u spray on?
is pearl available w gunze?

I think the confusion here is because Gamerxz' car is actually two colors; just as a classically prepared '57 Chevy might be red and white. The body is really dark silver, and the roof is black. With the pearl over it, it's hard to tell if you're not looking carefully. The pearl is (I'm assuming, as this is how it usually is) a clearcoat with pearlescent flakes in it. The pearl coat is sprayed over the main color, or colors in this case. What Gamerxz has done is paint the car two different colors (dark silver and black) and then coat the entire thing with pearl clearcoat. None of these are mixed, just one on top of the other. The pearl shows the other colors because it is mainly clear. I hope this helps.

The car looks stunning, by the way. I love the colors, though they are hard to tell in pictures. I am sure in person, it's subtle but stunning. Keep it up!

The top is body is spray gunmetal then masked to spray black.. and gunze has no pearl paint.. tamiya pearl would be so - so... the best pearl is from japan it comes in a bag powder form to mix with paint

alright man.. thanks!

Very nice! That light housing looks superb!

Hmm was bored and took the wing from a JGTC Z kit and blu-tach it onto the murcielago lol... Anyway the rims are gonna be this colour but more polished to give it an alloy metal look. Interior is from my other murcielago taken just to get a feel of how it would look like when done..

ooo... i see.. thanks man.. that really helped to clear up the picture.. btw i saw this pearl like color by gunze the other day in a nearby hobby shop. it says pearl. and u know w all gunze paints it will kinda indicate its purpose(e.g. aircraft, ships, WW2, cars, etc..) this one is labeled car primary. and i really was confused by it if Gamersxz's theory was the right one. initially i thought u could mix the pearl paint w some color... then gloss coat it.. and rub it till the cows come home.. or rather till it shines. =)

Great finish!! Great color!

Keep us posted!

Regards

If its pearl clear i guess it can be used.. But i never tried gunze pearl b4... i know tamiya one needs afew layers to get a nice pearl

great choice, I love lambo´s, I hope see soon completed this model.

Hmm... since i already have a standard murcielago.. i was thinking of making this one a tuner version . Something crazy rich people would do to their cars just for the fun of it...

So i took the wing and did some measurements to make sure i got it in the right position. The rear area as in the picture was measured. It stands at 3.9cm. The wing stands sit on 1.4cm.
http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n198/gamerxz2/DSC00730.jpgSo getting it in the middle would be 3.9cm - 1.4cm = 2.5 divided by 2 which is 1.25cm. :wink:

So vote away! which set would u like to see on this murcielago?!
:lol:

I vote for the Cerberus-es... Cerberusses. Cerberi!

Those! :)

My vote for the Kranze Cerberus, I think they'll make look this Lambo more aggressive, may be with the center in a dark metallic gray, or anthracite.

Keep us posted.

Another vote for Kranze Cerberus.

The murcielago was lowered about 0.2cm to give it a more agressive look.

Still needs abit of work ... Enjoy!

Rims still can be changed but the kranze do look very good on the car :lol:

Beautiful progress so far, keep it up!

Wonderfull progress!

Ok! AFter a long long time.. i finished the body and got the correct rims for the murcielago. The rims were hard to find.. i had to look high and low until i saw it on ebay and grabbed it. Only the wing mirrors are left which will be done in black with gloss clearcoat. I replaced the front logo with a lamborghini word decal and added another two , one on each side of the car.
Wheels are from Aoshima VIP series : Bersalio Spoke III
Engine and interior is almost done.. hopefully i can finish it within the next few days...

Keep it up!! ;)

Looking good rims!... yr murcielago seems dusty :icon16:

Right now working on this diorama... I shall not reveal it yet~ The lambo is currently having some work done on the engine and interior... so its drying from the paint and etc...

I hope more people would view this thread lol.... may its because a murcielago doesnt have any kick or interest to spark :rolleyes:

Well, I'm interested...

I'm watching this good job since the beginning…
Keep it up, that diorama starts looking nice, what did you use for the asphalt?

Cheers
