Kyle DeHart
I do love a countach

Martin Oostrom 著者
Wait till you see the colour…

Kyle DeHart
Looking forward to it!

Lode Schildermans
I see 2 kits, Martin 🙂

James C
👀 👍

Martin Oostrom 著者
I love this colour. I think it fits the car well

Lode Schildermans
OMG, it does indeed

Kyle DeHart
The color looks magnificent on the Countach as well. Extremely well done.

I think you've mixed the bodies up in the paintbouth 😄 The Mercedes was sitting on the left 😄 Funny, that you've used a Mercedes-Color and the SLdontknowRorSorwhatever was in the paintbouth too. Nevertheless: an unusual color but a good one. I like unusual colors on sports cars. What is the plan for the engine lid? What will you do with the cut outs?

It wasn't a mix up Christian: WIP - Mercedes AMG GT | Album by Mahoo76 (1:24)

The Lambo will be gloss and the Merc will be Matt. I intend to add some mesh to the cutouts. I need to decide on stainless steel or black plastic.

James C
Nice green... is it a metallic? Just need an F40 to go with the Lambo 👍

Christian W
Cool. Thanks! Didn't look after the Mercedes.

eye catcher my friend

Butiful colour sure to wach

Martin Oostrom 著者
Hi folks. Primer is on the other parts.
James, it sure looks like a metallic.
It was almost a days work to skewer the parts for the two cars, but I managed.
Interior painting and undercarriage work will have to wait a few days.

Following. I failed at building one of these in 1987. I did learn about brake fluid removing paint though.

Following!

Some hand painting done.

Martin Oostrom 著者
Added some mesh and sprayed some 2k gloss. Waiting for drying now

Lode Schildermans
Looking great

Bill Newcomer
I like the "real" mesh trick.

Martin Oostrom 著者
That mesh was a lot of work. The horizontal pieces were relatively easy squarish pieces. The ones in the vertical are more triangular, and cutting them in the right shape took a few renditions.

What color is this wonderful green?

Das Mesh wertet das Modell auf. Hast du einTeesieb verwendet?

George Williams
I always find fitting the mesh a bit tricky, which glue did you use to attach it?

Martin Oostrom 著者
Findus, das war kleine Teesieb, aber Rastermasse von Scaleproduction: scaleproduction.de/p..-mesh--din--a6-.html

George, I used thin ca glue

James C
Looking good. Nice job on the black window trim as well 👍

Bozzer
That's recoverable mate. But definitely more work than you need, at this time 🙁

Spanjaard
how that happened?

Bozzer
Orange Peel, Spanjaard.

Martin Oostrom 著者
What happened is that I sprayed 2k clear. This always seems to happen to me. Perhaps I just suck big time at it.

Martin Oostrom 著者
Thank you Bozzer.
So basically it's up the pressure or thin more.
Funny thing is, the 2k flat on the Merc worked like a charm. Same ratios, same pressure, same dumbass.

Bozzer
It's also about temperature mate. Obviously, when you did the Merc, everything was perfect. So it's worth taking that into consideration too.

Temperature and humidity. Dry air is important!

Jennifer Franklin
A little late to the show but following 👀

Christian W
"same dumbass" *giggle*. I think that is Murphy's Law. You have No Chance it Murphy points with the finger on you 😉
You'll tackle it!

Spanjaard
no doubt about that!

Martin Oostrom 著者
I sanded and polished as far as I dared to go. I didn't want to burn throught the paint, so this is it.
And I might have accidentilly finished her as well...

Mike Thomas
Well done, sir! 👍

Spanjaard
very well done Martin!

Kyle DeHart
Absolutely great work.

Jennifer Franklin
Nice and shiny, great work.

Christian W
Pretty!

Bozzer
Looks great!
Looking forward to the outside pictures now 🙂

Jv
Congratulations on your finish looking fantastic

Martin Oostrom 著者
Thank you all for your friendly comments. It wasn't sunny today, so the colours are still a bit muted: Completed - Lamborghini Countach | Album by Mahoo76 (1:24)

Lode Schildermans
In the end, all troubles are gone. Excellent result, Martin. You've all the reasons to be proud

Nice one Martin👍 Have you considered applying a second layer of clear? Let the first one dry, smooth it out a little bit and give it another round of high gloss. Works for me every time if the first round is not as smooth as I wanted it to be and gives you more "buffer" for sanding and polishing
