Finished: Lamborghini Gallardo Tuner

Finally finished after many, many problems and frustrations. As you may recall I didn't get the pearl effect I wanted at first and the car ended up pretty much just TS26 white.....well in the course of putting in the panel line wash I wasn't satisfied with any wash I tried and ended up ruining the paint! So instead of stripping it(which I hate doing) I adopted ZoomZoom's panel wash techinique and went over all the lines with a technical pen then I painted one coat of Tamiya Pearl White, then two more coats of clear. I am pleased with the panel lines now, and I got the pearl color on that I wanted....a negative turned positive!

The kit itself has many issues as has been mentioned in other threads...I had a terrible time getting the chassis to fit correctly. Anyway, onto the features of the build.

As you can see I changed the color scheme of the interior a bit from the stock version, the full alum console and dash binnacle gave it some impact and makes it look more interesting and 'high performance'.

On the exterior I used Fujimi's AVS 5's and added winglets made from a Viper GTS-R diecast wing. The endplates are from the Aoshima GT Wing set and I reshaped them a bit. Was going to put the full Acu Stion etch set on it but they made the screens so small they fall through the hole! So I just used the wheel centers, Lamborghini script and license plate on this one.

Absolutely cool ! The zondastyle winglets, the colour, the AVS's, all makes this car a real jawdropper, now hurry and finish those other projects, you slacker!

FUCK OFF ORIGINAL CARS!!!!!! thats it man!!!

great job!!!

Looks great in white and the wheels are perfect for it. The winglets look much better than I thought they would. Nice custom touch...

Hey,

Super, super clean!! What sheen black did you paint the headlights with? I'm not too fond of the little wings, but it is very creative and looks ok. Keep up the great work!

Frank X.

Wow, nice job. :grinyes:

Murray

Damn that look's great, very clean build :sunglasse. I'm not too sure about the little wing though

Hey Veyron, you know what? I am truely surrended to your Gallardo. This bull really is a BEAST even it standstill. Is it the wing on the Gallardo S-Concept? The colour of te headlight housing comes out brillant, and the taillight too!!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely a great choice on the Pearl white and the rims. CONGRATS!!!!!!!

This is simply beautiful! Did you design the wing yourself?

Thanks all!

Took the winglet idea from the Pagani Zonda then did my own thing. All I needed was a curved wing which closely matched the curvature of the rear of the body.

As I look at it, the thickness of the enplates is too much....I'm going to take them off and sand them down thinner, that should help that 100%.

wow man thats beautiful, how do you get the windows to stay so clean?

Veyron does windows.
Thinning the endplates would be an improvement. The panel lines came out nice. Sharp clean build!

WOW! Beautiful Gallardo..
The winglets and wheels are very cool..

You've set the bar high, I can't wait to see it..

thats definetly pimpin

"Veyron does windows."

:spit:

Son of Countach.

I'll leave it to you to decide whether or not it's a compliment. :iceslolan

well ok, i mean but what do you use to clean them?

:sunglassex10!!!

Hi Veyron,

Absolutely G R E A T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(...just as all your projects I saw in AF :-)))) )

I like the winglets, adds coolness to the build. The white scheme is gorgeous and the panel lines turned out perfect after all trouble you went through. Think it's a great build over all.
best regards

Outstanding job Veyron. It looks superb in white :thumbsup: The panellines look good too. Gotta try that method out.

Well done Veyron!! Awesome job on the wheels & the little wings.

Mmmhh, nice Build, but personally, I don´t know about those wings... I always liked that clean style of those new century "Supercars". I was quite happy that the 80s are over.
But nevermind that, because the color is just lovely and is somewaht cooler than those purple, orange and green Lambos. Just simple color style. Great work on the wheel decision as well!

Stunning! Like that alot.

Simply Stunning !!!

Mike :sunglasse

Looking great in white!

Looking great in white!

:iagree:

That is totally bad ass!!! It looks awesome!!!!!!!

Looks stunning!
Don't like the winglets but weach to their own personal taste!
Finish is fantastic!

Great work! Nice color, I love those rims and that devided wing!

Finally it came out! :smokin:
Wonderful paint job as always. that's very sexy one.
that ingenious rear spoiler looks good. :smile:

kick a$$

goooooooooood job man!!.. perfect!!

Beautiful build.
It's whatever the builder wants as far as I'm concerned, but I think if the trailing edge of the winglets mimicked or followed the shape of the top edge of the rear of the car, the they would look like they belonged more.
The clean white with the black trim is razor sharp.
If you want to change it for your own reasons, go for it, don't change it if you like it... - Mark

Thanks!

Actually the curvature of the winglets follow the curvature of the car closer than what the pics show, it's an illusion.

All the black except for the window trim is Acryl Dragon Black.

An absolutely stunning build !!!!!!

Congra~!
you got it done, man~
very good indeer!!!
i like the rear wings too!

That looks super in white, fantastic job!
Not too sure about the split high wing, although it kinda fits the theme of the split cockpit roadster version.
