Lamborghini X2

Very nice mod so far (miles beyond my current skills and resources:P)

also a question, with the way you are running the hose from the compressor, wouldn't it be easier to attach a panel with a (unsure of what they are called, but they are the bit that hoses clamp on to) few double sided ones of the whatsit on it?
will try that again, would it not be more convenient in the long run to have apanel attached to your spray booth that your compressor connects to on one side, and your brushes on the other? would require a second hose though I guess but would mean none were permanently attached to the booth.

I like his visions and the way he uses colours and shapes, guys like TD, HAL , have always blown me away with what thy do.. right back to our early days.

I hope we havn't seen the last of TD!!!

It's impossible to get rid of TD, just when you think he has disappeared for good, he'll be back with another modding wonder!

TDs probably stuck in a workshop hidden from view and masterin a new world beater!! Or He's just on holiday.

This mod looks great, just another reason I want to build my own! Keep up the beautiful work!

Come on mucker we need more info. Hows the mod goin?:p Only messin kidder, when Yer ready, Im sure its gonna be worth it. Hope Yer hols are good.

It does have a second hose already attached. See pic ...

Inside stays ...

I have a hook on the wall (outside booth), and the coil hose and the woven hose are connected just outside the booth. That way I can use the compressor for other stuff in the garage. And leave the woven hose where it's at. See, I already thought of that:D And ... I have quick connections coming so I can just snap them on-off if needed.

I think he mentioned his next mod. So lets hope that's what he's doing.

Why thank you. Always like to hear that. ;) :D

any idea when you'll be ready to start working on the lambo again? :)

awefully quiet in here.... the crickets are taking over... someone say something

i'll say something....!


have a Q for MDCS:how much did you pay for the paint setup
(compressor air gun paint brush etc)

I just realised that I have a Mesh Fetish.... Should I start a thread dedicated to the this beautifull hex pattern perforated metaloid??? :D

The little compressor was $49.95 or $59.95 I can't remember now(on sale) 40PSI, and the bigger one was $79 100PSI (also on sale). The airbrushes ... well I have about 6 or 7 of them now. From $29.95 to $300.

And, I hope to get some work done soon to show everyone.

:D

I don't think so.:D :D

To: MDCS

Lambo Exhaust Mesh

Lambo D6 Mesh

Gallardo Mesh

So I was thinking maybe you should mesh it up a bit as well...:p :p :p

mmm....tasty cars :D

-Dave

You're getting kinda close to what I want to surprise people with. BUT ... it's not mesh. I was going to add tailpipes, but I heard of someone else doing that (I already had some from a mod bike shop (peddle bike) picked out, and about the right size.) so I changed my mind on that.

Beside the mesh in the scoop, and two small places on the inside, that will be it for mesh on this build. I was thinking of carbon fiber for a few spots though.

:)

you should definietely leave the carbon for the inside of the case... otherwise its gonna start looking like a Zonda S.

Well I know you are well into your mod and it might be too late in the day to mentioning this, but I think you should follow the "design cue" of the lambo rather then making the case look like a lambo (JUST MY OPINION). Thus instead of tailpipes, take the idea of wrapping the inside part of something with mesh, and put it in your case.


Its gonna be one helluva mod.
Good Luck

"more Modding, more modding"

love what you're doing, looks fabulous ;)

well im makeing a BMW case so i like the tail pipe idea.... maybe a dual exaust might not look bad.. thnks for idea. nice mod. incredible if id say

Saw this on Gizmodo.. Perfect for this mod.. :D

damn OvRiDe now she's gonna make her own

$63 for a mouse pad?:eek: Now I'll have to make my own.

Just kidding:D :D :D

Cool GT, thanks for the rating! ;)

Sorry for all the delays everyone. Hectic here. Vacation, root canal work, switching PC's as main PC to standby PC, programming job taking a lot of time. I have all kinds of excuses don't I :) But the mod really is on my mind all the time. No matter what, this weekend I'll get some more work done. Promise. :)

damn so ok i just pretty much read this whole worklog... thats really cool the paint booth. also im making a BMW case and i thought an idea to make the emblem the power switch, im not sure if someone might have mentioned that but that would be kind o cool. also i thoguht of doing a window like your but that was befor i saw yours. another idea is haveing your water tank resifores (bad spelling) NOS tanks... thats what i think im gonna do. although NOS isnt really a lambo tyoe of thing so maybe not. but anyways illl keep my eye on this thread now that i read most of it. but im gonna go work on my case now because ive gotten a few ideas reading this!

It took me a while to decide on that. I didn't want the box or circle type, but something that fit the car. I had to make them shorter in height then I wanted, but I had to make it proportional to the case side. So, it looked like the long windows of the Lamborghini.

I promised I would do something this weekend ... well I managed do get some of it done.

Inside bay area finished with pearl white. (still needs clear of course)

Started on the metal doors. Even though most of the metal is covered, you
still see some of it when you take the doors off. So, I painted them pearl
white to match the interior of the case.

Left side.

Right side.

And ... the drive bay and front fan holder.

Next I started on the case. Prep work.

A base coat and a few light coats of pearl.
Wrapped the wires in foil (will be sleeved, but need to keep paint off
connections anyway) The case is a little big for the airbrush, so I used a
touch-up gun.

Unfortunately, I ran out of reducer after the second light coat, so I'll have to
stop and get some tomorrow to finish the case.

Neat little gizmo I picked up for the back of the case. ;)

:D

I'm gonna guess sine she said for the back that it will have to do with brake lights or something that come on when the PC comes on. But thats just my guess :p.

Darn it! You got it Aero. I'm going to make a proportional tail light for the back with active lights. Hope no one beats me to it. My fault. I let out too many clues. Now, I'm going to have to jump ahead to get it done.:D I already have the RED-ORANGE-BLACK-WHITE plexi for the job.

wow, not bad for my second post in the thread :D. I like that little device thing. I might look into one of them for my mod. But don't worry, not for brake lights, more like radioactive cooling towers8).

Thank you. I didn't know what I was doing when I started. But jump in, try something on your case. It's lots of fun. :D Start with a few lights, spiffy fans, then before you know it, you'll have confidence to try other things. 8)

My bad. :D
I just read your tag line. Should have done that first.:D
I see you have some modding done.

Windows are easy and they're a good first, big time mod to begin with.
Good luck, and post some pics when you do it.;)
