Lamborghini Gallardo - In progress

Here's a very quick progress thread showing some of my latest work. I'm building the Fujimi 1/24 lamborghini Gallardo Deluxe version. The deluxe version comes with a simple fret of PE parts but I also invested in the Crazy Modeler PE set for this model. Paint will be ZERO Arancio Atlas with 2K clear and black wheels.
Sorry for the lack of descriptions about the work but I haven't done any progress threads for a while.

Now, like most of us, I love the interior of the Gallardo Superleggera. The combination of alcantra, or suede, with white stitching and Carbon Fibre looks awesome. So I started with that. Here are my efforts at replicating the look.

What do you think so far?

What we think? :D

I think you have a secret Rob :D

Picts actually must show a 2X magnification or more: but stiching looks yet so small, very small: I would say in scale! :D

Fantastic job like ever.

I think we need to know how the stiching and suede effects were created. Looks great so far.

This, Sir, made my day.
Starting the morning with AF and this very amazing detailing. I think I´m not the only one wanting to know how you did it...

Just awesome Rob. The stitching is crazy, how did you do that :evillol:?
Are these the "new" revised SMS CF Decals?

I haven't done much on this lately but I did lay some paint down. This colour looks sensational in the flesh!

Hopefully I'll get some more work done on this next weekend?
Thanks for watching... I know the progress is slow

I'm loving this!!! I just painted mine in Grigio Iris earlier today! Perhaps yours will be inspiration for to get mine completed in '09!

As others said, fantastic job so far, I have always waited for a superleggera build, the interior of the real car is fantastic - so is yours! Keep us posted!

Sweet color and usual finish that out-shines the rest of us :D

Just WOW!
looking fwd to more.

Robrex, your builds are always stunning. I love the color and the paint work is immaculate. I am astounded by your interior. The seats and the dash... wow! I need an infomercial and a headset just to talk about it.

Beautiful work as always.

here's some pictures of the completed model. I just can't capture the colour well on camera :banghead:

Hi Rob,
Great build, I love the colour. What colour is it and is it model paint or automotive?

DOH learn to read young man DOH

Fantastic job!

I loved the color

Amazing!!! The interior is ridiculous looking!!! Great job!

Hi Rob,

it seems you cut the side windows in 3 parts. Did you have troubles with warped parts and relevant poor fit, like mine? …Or just to show the outstanding interiors :iceslolan ?

Anyway, brilliant execution !!!

Robi
