Working on: Lamborghini Miura SV

Hello,

I've been working in this project in the time between coats of the XJR-9 (I hope I'll start setting decals tonight or tomorrow). It's from Hasegawa, at the moment I've finished the interior:

Any comments and suggestions will be very apreciated.

Lovely detail - can't wait to see the car - possibly the most beautiful car design ever!
Really nice interior though, the seats look very nice against the different black of the back. Mats look really good as well!
Vents and dials as well!

Looks very good, keep it up!

nice work!clear and good painting!

Good looking interior. What color is the body going to be?

I though I would paint it in red with lower parts in gold, but I think that painting it in red is a bit boring. This car has been seen in so much attractive colours that I have to think about it yet...

What about green? or orange perhaps...

Anyone knows some reference for that green?

Super-clean interior! I love the different shades and sheens of the materials, top-notch work.
As for the color, red may be old-hat, but it would sure look cool with the gold lowers. I believe Cobra Colors has most (if not all) of the factory colors for this car, including the green.

Great Work!

Wow, great interior! You must be a very good builder! :)

Looks good so far. Welcome to AF!

That green is a killer color. I built mine in orange, and it's my favorite model of mine. It looks good in any color though.

Most of these builds can be seen by performing a search on this forum. We built Miuras/Jotas as a club project for our model show in 2004.

Hafta agree- forget the red. Would be a shame with so many other cool factory options for the Miura.

Check out Cobra Colors (http://cobracolors.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CC&Category_Code=LAM), and scroll to the bottom of the list- all Miura colors.

CADguy- You're model club is much cooler than the local one here....

Cobra Colors charts look impressive, the problem is that I'm from Spain and they don't ship out of US. I don't think they'll have any distributor here.

Awesome interior! So clean, so perfect! What an outstanding job!

I have actual Lamborghini PPG paint chips. They offer two similar green colors. One being Verde Miura and the other Verde Miura Mica which is a metallic color.

PM me if you can't read the codes from the pics below.

That right there is super clean building and beautiful attention to detail. That loks great. I don't think you need any suggestions.
This will look great completed. Can't wait.

That is looking very realistic!! What did you use for the flooring there? Keep up the awsome progress.

Your Miura build is looking great so far. Any color you choose will look good on this beautiful car.

Freakin' clean build! And verry nice pics!

Thanks for your comments guys.

I made the two pieces from plastic and I painted them in dark brown. Then I masked them with some photoetched diamond mesh and painted with buff. Then I removed the mask and aplied a very ligh coat of buff to the full piece. I like it :)

Regards

Great start and detailing :bigthumb:

I'm sure you use a vacuum cleaner on your builds! :biggrin:

I love Lambos, and that are great!!! Nice Work!

Great work! It might look even better if you drill those holes on the steering wheel spokes or paint them black to give some depth.

Yeah, that's probably the only thing you could add to enhance that awesome interior. . . That and maybe a set of seat belts ?. . .

Here are a few other Miura sites.

Today I got the paint for the body. The real color looks like the one of the paint inside the can:

I just love it :D

Hi, your car is looking sweet, just remember to paint the lower portion of the car the same colour as the wheels if you want it to be authentic, but you already knew that, didn't you. That green paint is well groooovy, yeah baby. Keep the updates coming as this is a thread well worth following.

Uh yyea!!! That green is eye searingly beautiful! Can't wait till you paint it!

Wow, the paint looks great! What is the producer of the paint?

The brand is Sikkens, I just gave in the shop the PPG code of the color and I got it :)

Awesome color! Is it straight color or are there metallics in it?

Can't wait to see this one painted up! :bigthumb:

Great job so far, killer color selection :sunglasse

This is a great model to build, very satisfying...Hasegawa did a great job even if it's "just" a curbside.

The interior and colour choice are killer. Looks like you will have plenty of lime green left over for other Lamborghinis. :)

Small update. I've worked on the grilles of the sides of the doors. They're included in the PE parts from Studio 27, and I think that just these parts and the included for the front air vents make the PE worth the money. The pieces included for this in the model are so thick.

Now I'll glue side mirrors, primer and... green green green :D

Great job on those vents!

Very nice!
Does the PE set include the 'eye lashes' as well?

Sorry, what do you mean with eye lashes?

Sorry, what do you mean with eye lashes?

The original Miura P400 and P400 S had a straked grill around the headlights, often referred to as "eyelashes".

And yes the S27 PE set does include the eyelashes for the earlier cars although they're not required for the SV as kitted by Hasegawa.

Excellent work!

Very nice!

Only the Yorazuya etch set has the lashes as far as I know.

Yup. . .Yorazuya is the only set to have 'em. . . but, as Veyron pointed out in an old thread, SV's had no eyelash vents. . .

The work on those vents are astounding, Cold_Fire!!!!! <off to HLJ lol>

Only the Yorazuya etch set has the lashes as far as I know.

EDIT: I stand corrected! lol The Studio27 looks pretty extensive and frail!

The Studio27 Muira/Jota set includes eyelashes, I have the sheet but I dont know how you would go about getting them to stay and glue them at the same time.

love the vents!

Looks verry nice. I love it! your interior looks very good indeed! Keep it up!

Excellent interior work, looks perfect. Looking forward to the rest of the model. More photos soon please. :cool:

Looks excellent so far, I like the colour you've chosen for the project, can't wait to see the car finished! Good luck! :)

updates?

The interior looks great and fine job on the vents!

Sorry for this time without updates. I've had to spend more time in other things than models :)

I finished the chassis, now all I have to do is to set over it the bodywork. I didn't spend time detailing engine, it'll be impossible to see anything when the car is "closed".

I also started painting the bodywork, with primer and a light first coat.
