Lamborghini Reventon...fixed Fujimis inadequacies.

[dannimal]

 Hey, everyone, this is my first post since joining. This was the last model i completed...sadly, it was two years ago, but i am getting back into the swing. The interior really lacked alot of basic, accurate details -i was shocked. Not only did i fix everything, but i added alot of detailing, and even though the engine bay was pretty basic, i wired it up, and made extra details...its hard to tell that its not complete.  thanks for looking -God bless!!

Welcome aboard Dann!!! I have never tackled an exotic sports car model before but I've seen a number of yours and builds that others have done and have now put building one of them on my bucket list. You've detailed that interior and that molded in engine out so well that I would've never known that the engine was molded in or that the interior was lacking in details. Those seat belt additions just threw the interior over the top man. In looking at the completed build, the paint work and exterior details are very well done. What color did you use on this car?

Lastly, the shop you have photographed this beastie in (is that a scratchbuilt shop?) only makes what you've done to this car really stand out. Very well built AND photographed Dann.

That is way cool Dann. Looks like something from the future

I was thinking the exact same thing… looks very futuristic. All the added detail including the mottled effect in the interior are top notch.

I get that effect all the time. Not on purpose or when I want it though

How true that is. In 2014, I laid down the perfect gloss finish on my 70 Dodge Challenger T/A from a frickin' CAN. Total fluke!! It would be years before I would be able to duplicate the same level of shine.

 Thanks! My favorite Italian brand has always been Lamborghini. I was actually very shocked at how wrong Fujimi did this kit. If i had the box stock version, i would show all the areas by displaying them side by side. I have step by step wips on all my builds on another forum, but i will start doing them here...i'm liking this group better so far.
  I cant remember the exact color, but its a Duplicolor Honda color with Tamiya semi gloss clear. The garage/shop is scratch built, but i am in the process a making a better one, along with the outside of it. Its gonna be a room diorama; 1) The outside of the shop, 2) The outside-inside of my personal garage attached to it, and 3) a showroom/ museum room attached to the other end of the garage/shop.

  Thanks!, i came accross that chalk technique by accident, and thought to myself that it looks like the Alcantera leather that Lamborghini uses in their cars.
