Actually if this is a 1/4, scale...no big deal if you go 1/1 right? :)
nice job! (Thread jack) - if anyone in the LA/OC area wants me to scan their Countach (or any Lambo for that matter), let me know, I have a 3D laser scanner (Surphaser). White colors scan best, but can make other colors work pending your comfort level. Just drop me a PM
I would love to have a 1/4 scale Wolf Countach. (already have the 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/12. Still not convinced to buy/subscribe to De Agostini 1/8 yet) Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ha, I will update after printing one more bit - I haven't done much printing since then, but I have pretty much printed the front bumper (the other half really) and the panel where the windscreen wiper comes out from. Once I finish the first LP500s I will look into making other models, if you pay me enough I might model and print and make 1 1/4 scale WW I think the De Agostini should be good no? it is pretty damn detailed! Jet-X For jacking my thread, if you get a laser scan you must give me a copy! Cheers guys
Here we go, the front bonnet print failed around 80% in =[ I will reprint it last as I can probably fabricate it by hand as it i pretty much a flat panel. save the headache. I am not going to print the other side until i got all the lights sorted (especially the pop up light, I need to make sure things don't get caught on each other and need to work out on the mechanism. Here we go, I didn't print anything extra, but thought I will assemble the front end with tape.

Only if you build me a model Seriously, if someone will let me scan their Countach I will (and I can come to them).
Haha, You do the scan, I will 3D model over the scan to make it useable. Then you've got a deal, I would do it free of charge I hope that is what you meant by "build me a model" . So yes, anyone that can help Jet-X with scanning a Countach, please PM him
LOL - nope, I can do the 3D model over the scan, I have a staff for that I want a 1/4 model itself -b
Oh Come on Brian, I thought we were going to be buddies 1/4 scale is going to be PRETTY expensive. a complete 1/8 assembled car costs around $7k US. Have you seen this? 3D Engineers create new panels and chassis for Lamborghini LP400 There are better scanners out there that wont need those dots nowadays.
I looked at their website, but they don't specify what scanner or process they use. There's a number of different scanners and processes that it goes far beyond just a simple response. But we use a Surphaser 100HSX, and depending on color of car/components, may/may not require a matting spray to be used. Stickers are another alternative to sprays for some scanners.
https://www.facebook.com/JnVisuals/ 3D printed the wheels again, this time based on a laser scan and measurements. Seat is done, front grille is done, exhaust guard half done, 11 piece taillights x 5 done 2 Windscreens with a wooden lattice mold to shape them on done. Enjoy! 1:12 scale Kyosho for reference. Currently printing the Treads for the rear wheel. The Last picture is a render I did based on the laser scan data received from Brian.

Here is an update on the Countach. I have most of the body shell ready for printing and the underside is almost done. Hinges are magnetic latches also designed for the lids but the door lach is yet to be engineered. Enjoy! More to come. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1592120370887333 Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
