My mini models

Yeah the Rambo Lambo that is my favorite Lamborghini. Again a awesome model. A couple of years ago they where thinking for a comming back of this model
That project became the Lamborghini Urus SUV, but that is just a redressed Audi Q8.

Hhmm Im not a Audi (VAG) fan but I like the RS en S types though. Only because of the engines and hp.
 
Thanks, when a little detail is added even a mini model like this looks pretty nice.;)
Otherwise, I'm surprised that this Lambo is still actively driving somewhere, since it is a relatively rare car, the price of which can be more than 300,000 dollars:)

Well, this is technically Metro Atlanta, I've been passed by a Bugati Veyron, which sells for 1.9 Million USD. I had a video of a 2018 Lamborghini Aventador getting as at a QuikTrip.
 
Mercedes 450 SLC

A few words about the original:

The Mercedes 450 SLC was a car with a powerful eight-cylinder forked five-liter engine and a three-speed automatic transmission. Mercedes won a couple of races with it in 1979 and 1980, but in 1981 the brand stopped rallying... as for the Dakar, two older competitive 500 SLCs were bought by racer Jochen Mass and had them modified for the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally. Blue cars however, with white stripes and generous support from Hugo Boss and Blaupunkt, they ended up deep in the field of losers. Mass himself, navigated by the American Stephen Pers, took 62nd place in the car category, Albert Pfuhl and Hans Schuller finished 44th.

I modified the front part, completed the protective frame and a few other things, dusted the car a little and made a simple pad. A few photos:

I modified the front end a bit and added details all over the car...tried to make the wheels more detailed (the side of the wheel is made up of 3 parts instead of one) and it looks better, I dusted the car and made a simple pad. A few photos:

I owned a 1975 Mercedes SLC for 8 years. Did all the work on it myself. That car was automatic, and 4th gear would kick in at 97 mph! Lovely cars, massive sunroofs.

This pic below is exactly what mine looked for. I received an offer I couldn't resist, and have regretted it since. :)

a beautiful classic car, I just still can't believe that someone managed to turn it into a rally car ;)



Now I will add a few cars that caused why the Paris - Dakar rally is so popular in our country...

LIAZ 111.154 Dakar

This is the original MINIBOX that came out in ABC. I didn't modify it on purpose, the model is made of one part and can be built in an hour...it's an alternative for those who don't want/don't know/can't glue more complex mini-models. It's a pretty nice box for how quickly it can be built. A few photos:

LIAZ 100.55 D 4x4 Dakar

Scale : 1:100

This car took part in the Paris - Dakar rally in 1985. The crew consisted of Moskal, Joklík and Fencl, who finished the competition in 13th place. After returning from the rally, the car was gradually disassembled, and in the early 90s it was bought by an enthusiast Tomáš Pour, who restored the car to its original condition, down to the details.

My edits:

This is probably the most complicated mini model I've glued so far... The model has a lot of details, you can still do active suspension, which I didn't do, since I have the model glued to the base. Rather, I added a few more exterior details, dusted the car a bit and made a simple pad. A few photos:
