I think one of the reasons for so many unfinished LP560 is the head and tail lights.
Comparing the Gallardo's and the LP560's and, of course the Fujimi's, I'm sure a lot of modellers were put in a cross road: whether 1, use the Fujimi ones (poorly scuplted even for the Gallardo, not to mention for LP560); 2, scratch built them or 3, let go the project and convince myself that I've built an LP560...
I took the 2nd approach: scratch built! Practicing my plastic board was one of the techniques that I would like to enhance in this project, so why not give it a try.
Referring to the actual headlight, it was a pretty complicated one:
Cut up some plastic boards and tubes to test out the actual sizing of the headlights. They were so damn small that I've mocked up 3 to 4 samples before one that I thought was close:
the original headlight from Fujimi was so "impressive" when the pictures were put side by side...
Going to construct the other side with similar methods and see how it should be finally fitted.
Stay tuned.
