Thanks Guys!

So little update. Ive clearcoated the interior parts.
The special limited edition Versace Lambo has the full Carbon Fibre package on the Lambo options list & also Versace trimmed & embroidied leather interior. Ive seen a few variations on the net with differing coloured leather inserts, like door insert in white, centre consol in black, seats half white etc, very confusing considering Lambo reckon they only made 2 roadsters...
The patten required for the doors & dash was too small for me to cut & paint mask like the seats so a printed decal had to suffice but I think it represents the embroided 1:1 pretty well. I used Mirco - Satin for clearcoating all interior parts.
Enough words, picture time!!



Heres a pic with the flash on




The Seats managed to get some dust in them whilst drying so need to fix that.


With the interior finally out of the way I'm now gonna have to focus on the chassis & those epic brakes!

Too true, heres some pics of the 1:1

This is the main image that I based my interior off of, its got full white seats, white centre & black door inserts. in my opinion this looked the best.



& heres one with the white door cards




Heres the Coupe version, half white seats, black centre consol & black door inserts. & its on the roof, how awesome is that!!! Most expensive Header liner ever... possibly


Naturally being a partnership between Versace & Lamborghini there are accessories, this pic shows the set you recieved if you brough the car (I think) Shoes, driving gloves, Overnight bag & shoulder bag. There are quite a few other ones too, like larger overnight bags, keyring, watch, wallet, theres even a Versace trimed business card holder....


This is BY FAR my favorite interior accessory!!!


Cheers

Very nice progress. I love how the door panels came out !

Versace is back IN!!!

Trying to finally get this one over the line for forth cmoing national Show down here in NZ, only 10 days to go, so heres hoping!!!

anyway - Updates since last time

Body - Painted the satin black areas





The Interior - Been adding all the Photoetched parts, almost done, just seat belts to sort out & assemble





The Rear Lights - I was very dubious about this because I had to use the resin ones supplied with the Trans-kit. They are a little small for the area but there was nothing I could do, was worried about colour & clarity too with the very yellow clear resin. In the photo on top is the second pair I got, painted ones below. Overall reasonly happy with how clear they turned out. I 2K clearcoated them too


The Engine Bay
Like my 40th Murc I wasnt happy with the engine, Its way to big & has no detail to it! I compared it with Aoshima's SV engine & its at least 6mm too long!!!! So i made some quick basic head detail & worked away on the resin intake (again too small!!) & adding all the PE pieces that go in here.


The Brakes
This has been the biggest headache & most time consuming part of this build!! Each barke consists of 28 pieces + the plastic parts! there are 10 "bolts" that go into 10 "clips" That need to go into the 3 piece hub & 5 piece rotor!!! Increbly detailed!!!







& the Final score sports fans! I won!!! - best bit of advice I had was to do it all on a piece of A4 paper, tiny metal parts are much easier to find on white than Green boards & carpet!!!



Thats about it for now, will hopefully update this again very soon!!

Cheers, Ash

The brake rotors look amazing.

Nice work with the car, all the carbon fiber, the interior and everything
