    Oh boy, I can really remember seeing those "paint it yourself" cars in the toy shops. Don't know if I had the Lambo (or just wanted it badly) but I know that I had a van.
    My painting was soooo bad, but it was fun to do. ;-)
    Playmobile also had animals to paint youself. I had penguins and zebras. :-D Funny times back then.

    The black cherry color is interesting.
    I too had posters of the Countach on my walls when I was young.

    Matchbox Graffic Traffic... Bodies were all white and came with a selection of felt tip style pens... I had a Ford RS200.... Great job youve done there! 😊😊

    I remember those Matchbox cars, traffic graphics I think they were called? Had the VW T3 ambulance, which I customized as a kid! The Lamborghini turned out great 👍like the colour. Hope you can still enjoy a good Christmas, is difficult not being able to see friends an family. With any luck, things will get better in the new year 🤞

  • @brianartillery
    @brianartillery Před 3 lety

    Beautiful 'Oxblood' colour there. Like a new pair of Doctor Marten's 1460's. Or the 40th anniversary 12" single of 'Enola Gay', by OMD, that I got on Friday. Suits the car perfectly. Nice one.

    @ZGryphon Před 3 lety

    Sweet. In the brochure, that color option would be something like "black cherry" (or, well, it's an Italian car, so I suppose "ciliegia nera" :).

  • @MapleLeafCustoms
    @MapleLeafCustoms Před 3 lety

    That happy accident wasn't too disastrous. Turned out well. A unique colour for a Lambo. I wish you a Merry Christmas, from Switzerland - Andrew 🍁🌲

    I think the initial 23% paint removal was optimistic! More like 12%! I love your pleasant mistake on the paint. It pays to experiment.
    I've read it's bad in the UK. Please stay safe. Have the best holiday that you can. There will be lots of other ones to celebrate.

    It's sort of the same color as Christmas candies....which is appropriate.
    I saw one at a car show back in the mid '80s...most people here pronounced it as " Contact"...

  • @louisvictor3473
    @louisvictor3473 Před 3 lety

    Been a while since I watched one of yours and what a treat I came back to! Really nice!
    If there is a lesson here, when in doubt try some candy just in case, they just love to blend with stuff and they darn good at it.

    Great wheels for that casting.

  • @damianosavraammisaelidis9727

    Not bad. I think that Lamborghini's traditional colors are red and yellow and white as well but nothing wrong to actually experiment with them. Into my eyes , unless if I am colorblind or the camera doesn't do justice, it looks like a chocolate pigmentation and with a touch of deep purple. Never the less I love it because you haven't overdone it with additional touch ups rather than the tail lights and the gills. Great job mate, stay safe you and your family, which is the most important of everything in life, and Merry Christmas to you and everyone. Cheers.
