Lamborghini Miura 1971

[matic176]

My next project: Lamborghini Miura from 1971.
Manufactorer: Hasegawa
Scale: 1:24

Bodypaint is going to be yellow.


From time to time I'll show progres in "HOW TO" style. I hope there is something usefull and helpful for you.



Let's see what i was doing lately:



PICTURE 1:

First I depthened the panels and put some putty where it was neccesarry. I drilled some holes for further attachement of small parts.



PICTURE 2:


PICTURE 3:

Interior. I don't have airbrush, so i painted it with matt black spray (P --> 1). Because seats are made from leather and it is semi-gloss I had to do something about it, so I polished parts with some Car wax from Sonax, till they got some shine (P --> 2 - leather effect). By my opinion it looks quite well.
I put some BMF chrom foil and grey flocking on door panels. (P --> 3)



PICTURE 4:

To make interior more realistic I made foot-mats. I'll let the pictures tell more: 8)



PICTURE 5:

I flocked interior and added some minor details.



PICTURE 6:

PE seatbelts are from KA-models



PICTURE 7:

Wheels have valves now.



PICTURE 8:

This model won't be 100% clean, I decided to make a little dirty one. :twisted: --> I putted some black dirt on wheels. As you can see, the body is already in primer.



That's all for this time, I hope you like it. I'll be glad to hear any questions, opinions, etc..

Enjoy!

Great car and great progress.
I really like your clean building style

The KA seatbelts look really nice!

The wheel "knock off" nut is too clean in comaprison to the wheels

Hmmm, you said you dirtied the rims, but i don't seem to be able to see the dirt on the last few pics. I love the look of the door panals, and seats. Looking forward to seeing more.

I used the material (tube is from thin metal) to make base for foot-mats, because it is thin and quite strong. That gold-brown metal on picture is mayonase tube from inside.

First you have to know that I didn't put much dirt on wheels. Anyway, there is some dirt for sure , but it is not very good visible on pictures.

Have a look at this one:



And a reference:

Here is visible the difference between wheel and wheel nut. I am going to put a little dirt on it too, but really little.

Nice progress, a lot to see and very impressive work on the interior. I really like your work here. Hope to see more from you.

Very nice ideas! I'll be watching this one closely as I plan starting my own as soon as I get the PE parts for it.

[Dan66460]

Great start. I like what you did with the seats. Great photos.

I also bought a PE parts from Studio 27. There are also available PE parts from AcuStion for Miura, but I have to warn you that it is said they aren't very suitable for this model. One guy on Italianhorses site used them and wasn't satisfied with them.

Ofcourse there are included many parts for Lamborghini Jota- racing version of Miura, and I won't be able to use them all, because I am going to do the basic Miura model. But never mind, PE parts looks great, I am only a bit scared how I'll manage to place them properly on car, because there are so many of them...

I know, it's the guy called 360spider around here, or otherwise known as Alex Kustov, he posted right after your post!

I'll do both of them using the Studio27 PE parts, once I get them. I'll probably start with the Jota and than build the Miura in a few years time when I'll be a better modeler.

Back to your build now, we are all expecting some updates!

Really like the flocking you've done on the interior. How did you get the image on the gear stick? is it a decal or P/E part?

Looks really nice...
