-It is [Lexus LC500 `Structural Blue` 2018] produced as a 1/43 scale handmade model car of [EIDOLON].
――This model faithfully reproduces the special specification [Structural Blue] of the Lexus luxury coupe, Lexus LC500.
[Vehicle commentary]
――For many automobile manufacturers, the F segment is lined with the finest and largest luxury cars.
――LC debuted in 2017 as Lexus's first F-segment coupe.
――The total width is 1920mm, but the packaging is basically 2 + 2 of the front seats, which is a really luxurious space.
――There are two types of powertrains that are prepared to entertain and move two people comfortably: the 5 liter V8 (LC500) that produces 477 horsepower, and the 3.5 liter V6 & motor (LC500h) that produces 359 horsepower.
――The meaning of the LC car name is Luxury Coupe or Lexus Challenge, and the interior and exterior design is given exclusively for the name.
--This time, the actual car reproduces the `Structural Blue` specification, which was sold only for 50 units in 2018.
[Model description]
――The most important thing in modeling the Lexus's finest coupe is the high quality.
――First of all, regarding the body, here is the prototype 3D, paying attention to how faithfully the shape of the actual vehicle is expressed `objectively` in the 1/43 world based on the 3D data of the actual vehicle provided by Lexus. Designed using CAD.
――And when developing a Lexus miniature car, the spindle grille, which is the best showcase for the manufacturer, uses etched parts, but as it is, it gives a flat impression, so after adding a press to it, It takes time and effort to apply chrome plating and smoke black coloring.
――The three-lens headlights, the depth of the daylights, and the realistic details with a three-dimensional effect are also important points to pay attention to.
――In addition, one of the points in the exterior of the LC, the decorative molding that draws an arc from the roof to the C pillar and has a Japanese sword as a motif is plated as a separate part, and the carbon roof and rear wing are carbon. A decal of the pattern is pasted, and a clear coating is applied on it to give a mirror finish.
――The texture of high-class materials such as leather and Alcantara, which are abundantly treated in the actual vehicle, is reproduced as much as possible by controlling the glossiness of the paint.
