Kallisti Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 After building the Ford GT-40 it occurred to me that one of my other favourite Dinky/Matchbox cars when I was a nipper was the Lamborghini. Imagine my happiness at seeing this kit, which was not overly expensive, to allow me to build one in 1:24 Scale. The 'Italian Girl's Figure' was an interesting addition. I'm not sure that apostrophe is in the right place or even necessary! "Italian Girl Figure" would have been perfectly correct, after all your are making a model of an Italian Girl, not just her figure (nice as that may be!) I did a custom mix of Tamiya Orange and red gloss paint to get the Lambo colour and overall it was an enjoyable build. It was nice the kit came with decals for the girl's eyes and eyebrows, but she has a rather goggle-eyed expression because of them. Its probably better than my painting however! 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Lovely builds, both the Lambo and young lady - she really does suit the car! Just one nit pick; 1 hour ago, Kallisti said: after all your are making That would be ''you're'' - you're missing an apostrophe in your sentence.... Sorry couldn't resist, I've got my and am out the Cracking Lambo!! Keith 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 She just gets in the way of the most beautiful car ever built (IMHO). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Took me a little while before I noticed the car in your photos! 😆 It's beautiful! Nice work! Your paintwork on the girl looks awesome too! I guess you could say there are two items there which were "built for speed!" 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 So I had a brainstorm and collected all 3 sportscars I've built recently along with the Italian girl to make this amusing scenario... So she is walking past all these lovely cars thinking "Its a pity the drivers are such pillocks, I'll just get the bus home!" 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100SQN Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Didn't realise there was a car in the photos until I got to the 4th photo 😏 Very nice build 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearsightedjohn Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Love both your “curvy” builds! The female figure also really helps accentuate how low the Miura is (or how long this young lady’s legs are???). Reminds me of the last time I attempted a sit in a sports car at the auto show, a Corvette C7. I was unable to climb out of it on my feet and just ended up rolling out of it onto the display carpet....guess I’ll just have to keep the old sedan! Nice job on both! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
