I believe my LEGO Diablo phase has come to an end...I think I have finally
succeeded in creating a likeness (but that's for you to decide).
  Modeled after the latest Diablo, my LEGO rendition is fully motorized (with a
geared motor and a micromotor for steering).  The working headlights light up
whenever the car is in motion.  The front hood reveals a spare tire (or room
for luggage).  The rear deck lifts to show of the famous 6.0 liter V-12 (and
the contacts for the wires to the "remote control" handset).  The doors open
over prototypically large sills to a comfortable and fully detailed interior.
But I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:

And a few high resolution "wallpaper" images:

Please LMKWYT!  If I'm missing a photo of some angle, or if you would like a
high res image of any other shots, please let me know!

I think you presented your model from all angles. I tried to pick out a favorite view and I just like them all. Everything is perfect down to the wiring. Beautiful job! -- Bob Fay California, USA rfay@we.mediaone.net (URL) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)
  Re: Model Team scale Lamborghini Diablo 6.0
 
Although more of a technic man myself, I do have a soft spot for highly detailed models such as yours. Yours has a great likeness to the real Diablo, the way you have dealt with the various intakes and curves in Lego is very impressive. Maybe I'll (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

(...) Nice job! I think you have captured the lines of the real car very well indeed. I really like the use of that hinged plate on the bonnet for some reason! Jennifer Clark (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

Hi Bram, Thanks for sharing pictures of that coooool model!!! It really looks fast, does the LEGO motor realize what the car looks like ;-) ?? Your car reminds me of a Ferrari model a friend and I build something like 15 years ago. We used the (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

So, what colors does it come in? What's it's sticker price? ;-) Seriously, that's an outstanding model! 8-) I really hope you encode this for ".cad"! ;-) Franklin (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)
  Re: Model Team scale Lamborghini Diablo 6.0
 
Bram, That's an amazingly detailed model. You should send in some pics to Lamborghini...maybe they will like it so much that they will commission it from you. I don't know if adding tiles would disrupt the appearance of your model too mush...but I (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

(...) No, why do you say that? You can always build one in 8448 scale. At that scale, you can incorporate even more details! ;-) The interior details are very nice. When I come to the interior, I'm normally so bored with the model that I simply add (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

absolutely stunning!! I love it. you achieved all of the right panel lines and all of the angles flow nicely. the engine detail is great as well. But i espeically like what you did with the cockpit. It all has so much detail. Can the wheels be (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

Brad, That is just too f-ing cool ! I kinda like the orange too. Did you do that on purpose ? -Xanthra47 (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

Well, you already know what we're going to say so LMKWYT is someone moot, no? As I've told you before(and 'Muffin Head' Mark S., Brian Cooper, Jay Cal, etc... it's daunting how many great models are coming from just a handful a people), you rock (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

Whoah! Great Job. Really, really great model. I like the overall shape, I like the body detail, (especially those sloped things like the air-intake look cool), those obscurely hinged doors are cool, too, and to put such a detailed interior into the (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)
