Comment now, questions later

Apart from all the amazing work you have put into this, I also like the stance you have achieved - looks really powerfull and "stallion-ish"

I see that you casted your seats and door panels. Are you willing to make additional ones and sell them? I'd buy a them for my 550.

Hats off!!
Beautiful masterpiece!

Excellent work ! I love the aggressive stance you got, did you modify the car set-up ?

very beautiful work! Can't believe it's from Fujimi. I have a question, how do you paint the chrome ring on the dash board so clean? I always have the problem with that.,. Do you have some special tools or tips for doing that? Thanks!

Well, I was going to, but the mold didn't turn out well. This was the first time I used the Micromark starter set, and the silicone is a bit too soft to my taste. I'll try some other brands and make a mold again.

Do you mean the car was lowered or not? The suspension parts were built straight out of the box. I cut the "ear" of the rear wheels so that the tires don't stick out of the body, but that's it.

I just used the smallest brush, and carefully painted the rings. I paid extra attention not to go outside the outer circumference, but did't bother touching the vent. After chrome was done, I painted the vent semi-gloss black. The chrome paint was Model Master enamel, and the semi-gloss black was Tamiya enamel.

Hiroaki, thanks for the reply. Yes, I meant the 550 seems to be lowered ...but was not so.
