I really wish lego made windshield pieces where you can have the windows cut off and its just the front or back windshield so for builds like this the side windows just dont hang off
Yes, I know what you mean, and it would just look like the windows are open instead. The only option is to get a sharp knife and do some major Lego surgery!!!!!!!
I love the Countach, mainly thanks to Transformers G1 with Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. I do hope they return in a future movie, either in their 80s Countach form or the modern day version
I’m old enough to remember both of those. Great car, great transformers, and red and yellow are both classic colours to have a Countach in! Who knows, after Optimus Prime last year, maybe we’ll get more Lego Autobots.
exactly the same here, it's the only model of lamborghini purely because of Gen 1 transformers. that and it looks different from the other cookie cutter models that lamborghini makes and gives different names
the good thing with this set is the stickers are clear so you can build it in any colour, so you should 100% try build it in black, maybe change the red interior to white, and find a way to get the gold rims
Yes, clear sticker sheets are always cool to get. I had the same thought as you when I realised it was clear. Unfortunately most of the sticker details are black, so they won't show up that much on black bricks, but it's still worth a go. The other thing is that the A-Posts printed on the windscreen piece, are also white, so I'd have to maybe make custom stickers to go over the top of them. But I'm definitely going to build one of these in another colour one day. Thanks for commenting
Lamborghini Countach is not one without those forward pointing triangle shaped vents or whatever they are called. I modded that as well from the original design, by using an unorthodox method. That curved 1x2 smooth on top piece, I added another on both sides but upside down(used some clear scotch tape to hold it in place). Also the front nose is too narrow with that white 1x6 flat piece. I replaced it with a white 1x8 flat piece to give it the wider front look that the real Countach has. I also modded the white rear wing to be bigger and all white(no black LEGO piece supports for the rear wing like in the original instructions). You could be fine with your scissor door mods and just try to make custom stickers for the black triangle shapes that go 1/2 way on the scissor door and the other 1/2 on the other side of edge of where end of the door sits.
I agree about the iconic side vents. That curved piece you used, now comes in an inverted version too, so you could do it without using tape!!! But I really like your idea of making custom stickers for my scissor-door version. I’ve got a vinyl cutting machine so it’d be really easy to do with black vinyl. Thanks for commenting.
I have quite a big spare parts storage system. You can see it here: th-cam.com/users/shorts43MO5djOUfo?sub_confirmation=1 I often get cheap classic sets and then put all teh parts into parts storage, so I have them ready for when I need a certain part
There are some amazing Speed Champion cars. I like a lot of the earlier 6-stud wide ones too. Good luck with collecting the ones you want. Once you've got them, you should check out some of the alternative builds and modifications like this one, on Rebrickable.
If you have the lego set porsche 911 10295 set, you can build the Lamborghini countach without extra lego pieces! Just have to buy the instructions! But we’ll worth it 👍 you’ll find the review on TH-cam: Custom LEGO Lamborghini Countach Review | Porsche 911 Alt Build!
yes, I’ve seen that set mod. It’s an amazingly accurate version of the Countach and even more amazing when you find out it uses no extra pieces outside the Porsche 911 set.!
I don’t have the Pagani, but it is a very good looking set… …I just think it’s a shame that they didn’t make it in a more interesting colour than grey!
When my videos go over 8 minutes, YT put in more ads, and this vid was 12 mins, so obviously got the extra ad treatment. An ad sequence should never last for a full 4 minutes though. What might happen, is if the button turns to "skip" and you miss it, the next ad can't be skipped until it hits it's played amount. I'm afraid, I don't control the ads and the same thing happens to me watching videos, EVEN WHEN I WATCH MY OWN VIDEOS !!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
the smallest ball and socket plate that comes in white are the 2x2 modified. but I don’t think they’d be either small enough to use in the car body and door; or have enough flexibility to allow the door to open much.
Hi there, if you watch the video, at 2 minutes it shows you the extra pieces that you need, and there’s a link to the Rebrickable instructions in the description. I hope that helps, it should be all you need to do the MOD yourself.
Cool idea, poor execution. This is very hard to implement though, I haven't thought up anything else that works better yet. So far, these speed champions are far better served as very good looking models hidden away in key places of a lego city. They are too big, but really detailed and iconic, so having them serve a display purpose is fine.
I was ok with the 6-wide SC's being in a LEGO City, but the new (since 2020) 8-wide are too big. So I just have them on shelf display instead. This MOD was really just because I wanted it to have its iconic doors.
@@MinifigJez Having those doors is just too exciting :D Despite their size, I think the speed champions are still an amazing theme, with excellent designs and overall pretty affordable for the quality and the amount of parts. I'm really happy you at least got a bunch of 6 studs wide vehilces to use for the roads, that will help fill the streets up a bit with some cool cars.
@@pinobluevogel6458 I started collecting them as soon as they came out in 2015. I've got all the individual cars from 2015-2019 (except one) and a few of the multi-packs. But now only get a few that mean something, like the classic 80's Quattro and the Countach. - Did you see the vid where I made the three Italian Job mini's based on the Speed Champions version? th-cam.com/video/1D7E2j_j5EQ/w-d-xo.html
@@MinifigJez You have an amazing collection of cars if you have all of those. I did not see that video and will watch it now. Thanks for pointing it out.
I love seeing someone converting their lego cars to right hand drive, I thought I was the only one doing it.

I just need a Lotus Esprit and my Lego 80’s dream cars would be complete !
@@MinifigJezI saw someone build a Espirit out of the Countach, based on the James Bond one though

I can't take all the credit, but I'm glad you liked it.

Wow I wish I had talent like you in Lego 😊
thanks! I can’t take all the credit for this mod though, unlike the others on my channel.
the goal is to buy a bunch of these sets, pretty much all of the new ones(2020-2024), I'm a huge car guy and I like Lego sop it works

The only speed champions sets that I have is the Countach and this year's Pagani utopia
I don’t have the Pagani, but it is a very good looking set…
…I just think it’s a shame that they didn’t make it in a more interesting colour than grey!
I want one and I would swap the red for a white interior and do the doors.
I love the doors mod, and that’s a GREAT idea to change the interior colour… white leather in a white Countach is a classic combo.
@@MinifigJez if i where to get a real Countach I would get the white interior with white color
@@lukemosser5813 white and white is a classic combination for a Countach
I'm not a car guy. I can't tell you the difference between a coolant tank and an antifreeze tank. But, it is a pretty car I guess.
yes it does look good.
the Lego version is a bit disproportionate, the real life Countach is amazingly flat and wide!
@@MinifigJez I think the mod looks nice.
@@Real_Moon-Moon Thanks - Like I said in the video, I can't take all the credit for this one (unlike my usual MODs!)

Use ball joints for the doors
the smallest ball and socket plate that comes in white are the 2x2 modified. but I don’t think they’d be either small enough to use in the car body and door; or have enough flexibility to allow the door to open much.
Is it possible to do this with just the pieces provided in the set or are extra parts needed?
Hi there, if you watch the video, at 2 minutes it shows you the extra pieces that you need, and there’s a link to the Rebrickable instructions in the description.
I hope that helps, it should be all you need to do the MOD yourself.
01:27 I would’ve preferred it in red….then they could have included a Harry or LLoyd minifigure in top hat and tails! 😂 #dumbanddumber
Wow! I'd forgotten that scene until you reminded me of it just then!
Red is definitely another iconic colour for the car.
The WindScreen not being part of the door, kills the whole idea, IMO.
I know what you mean.
it’s not perfect, but I still like the look of it this way.
@@MinifigJez, we can always hope for LEGO to eventually make the window parts.
@@PirateJohnson The would be great - I'll keep my fingers crossed!
