-WIP- Lamborghini Countach

heres a fun one im working on, the old Monogram kit, I picked this up for 50 cents!
it seems pretty decent so far,

heres some progress i've made the last few days








I painted the block with krylon flat aluminum, then gave it a black wash, i added spark plug wires and detailed the cam covers with a silver pencil crayon.

Re: -WIP- Lamborghini Countach

Can't beat that price. (well...maybe free) It looks like it's going to be an awesome build. The engine looks great already.

I love the countach. This model and its engine seem pretty good too.

Looking good James... nice engine detail... you may want to find some better rear tires... the ones in that kit are too skinny!!!

That looks great James!
I always thought the Monogram Countach was a good kit. You are really doing it justice.

Re: -WIP- Lamborghini Countach

Wow, thats one low price, i really want to get a countach but i can never find one when im online...
best of luck with yours, and by the way the engine looks absoultley amazing, so im expecting great things of this build. i will also use it as a reference if i get a countach.

Re: -WIP- Lamborghini Countach

That was a pretty good investment I'd say - your 50cents is now looking like a million dollars! Super job as always.

BTW help me out here - could you remind me which one of these two is yours and which is the reference
