1/12 Lamborghini Aventador

Here is the engine, and various components that will reside in the engine compartment.  Unfortunately, most of this will be hidden under the rear body structure.

Engine painted.  I need to figure out how I am going to make the Lamborghini scripts for the engine cover.

Nice! Did you print the script on the cover? You can use either bmf on the script and paint it over and then remove the paint on the raised part. Also works with one part being painted with acrylic and the other enamel I guess, have seen it on YouTube. And had various success. Since the lettering also can be printed since it’s a big scale, you could print it separately and paint with Molotov pen first.

Aren't there some dry transfers available, mostly for 1/24th, but they often include "other scales" as well.

Just for reference, here's my 1/8th scale Aventador engine:

Door panels are printed.  I am hoping to get the rest of the interior printed out this week.

If you have access to a CAD program you can import the scripts and convert them to a solid

Test fitting door panel to instrument panel interface.  BTW, I thing I have a solution for the Lambo Logo on the engine cover... stay tuned.

Console and seats have been printed.  I noticed that the 2 switches at the base of the console will need to be scribed deeper.  This will be the first model I have done that will have a flocked carpet.  Any ideas on what to use?  Most examples of carpet flocking i see, are shown with 1/25, 1/24, and I "think" I need a material of a larger scale appearance.

I decided to use velvet for carpet, since the floors are flat.  Here is a mockup of the interior so far.
