Gallardo progressions

Yeah I know, "that doesn't look like a Skyline! :icon16: ". Here in Naples I've seen so many of these that I just had to pull this kit out :disappoin . I like the simple lines of the 1:1 plus it has a "coolness" about it when painted in subdued shades; as of this picture, it's in primer. More pictures as I progress. Thanks and remember: it's a hobby; enjoy it!! :sunglasse

Ooooo, I love that color, and it's perfect for the Gallardo. But then the Gallardo is a car that I like the available factory colors for even more than I like the car itself. :rolleyes: (Why can't Ferrari have a palette like that?)

This will be a fun one, I'll watch it with interest. :grinyes: You've got plenty of suitable reducer for that paint, right...?

Thanks and remember: it's a hobby; enjoy it!! :sunglasse

Yeah, i'll try to remember that...stress level all time high here

go gallardo go!:rofl:

Wish you good luck to this Gallardo!

its going to be awesome!

I love this Gallardo's paint ! :smile:

I live near Naples too..... but in Italy!:iceslolan

Oh, i thought for a second you said "its just a hobby".
lmao. I mean, you are painting a model lambo a real lambo color after all.

If you have never been to Tibet, receive education especially in Tibet and Chinese history and remove your avatar before jumping to conclusion.sheesh i think its just a joke so calm down

Dude, plead your case somewhere else. I have no ill intentions toward Tibet and if it will keep you from going emo on me, I'll remove my avatar. Now can I resume my Gallardo thread?

Tonio, change your avatar back and dont listen to ANYONE on the internet! Nice subject by the way! Always loved the Gallardo!

Thanks man! I appreciate that! :sunglasse

damn, you gotta let me know how well this model fits. I'm still a n00b but so want a gallardo!

I like this car, both already having one. If you want to see my model, here is the topic: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=894701
I hope to see progress soon.

I'll surely follow this one!!

The fit of this model is rather good. The only problems I hade was with the fitmens of the rear wheels (the rideheight was to big) and the side windows. Bit it's a nice kit, and for a beginner it's defenatly worth to build it.

Looks to be a fantastic looking build as always. I love the gallardo's lines too....just looks like it's going fast even when it's just standing still!

Thanks for the support guys. I hope to resume this and several other projects soon. :)

...and if not, you can always sell that bottle of paint to me! :grinyes: ;)

Hey Andy! I'd be more than happy to send you a decent amount of it once I have the body painted. :)

Sweet- gotta build me a copycat Lambo then! :tongue:

Paint will be stunning! Looking forward to the progress!

Good choice- but I'm not sure about the chrome....

Maybe gloss black? Gunmetal would disappear with the body color. Hmmmm, or maybe spray the chrome with clear red for an anodized look? Just thinkin'.

Hi,

looks great so far, but I agree with Andy concerning the chrome on the wheels: it should be replaced with colour

way too much of the ground clearance...imo a least

It's just a mock-up; the body and tires only. Thanks guys. I have a completely different set of wheels that will be used I believe but those served their purpose for the pictures. :)

Wow! How come the paint is so mettalic grey int he sun, but then so red/brown in the latter pictures. Cool anyway :smile:
