FD inspired project starts - Piotr Wiecek Worthouse S15
From the very first FD round in 2017, I have been keeping my eye on the two Worthouse drift Silvias of James Dean and Piotr Wiecek. Both of them had appealed to me from the very beginning by their flowing style and in combination with a beautiful lines of S15 and a fresh livery, I just still can't have enough watching them.
During the last season, as much as I loved watching James trashing the competition, I found myself preferring an aggressive style of Piotr's, so in my virtual to-do list, I switched from Jamese's car to Piotr's.
Naturally I wanted to make my own mini-Worthouse S15, but for a long time, I couldn't justify the price of this shell in the Europe. But this year, when Santa asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I just had to say "Honey, all I want for Christmas is Rocket Bunny S15".
I guess I wasn't a bad kid last year, so I got it. Then I just backed up with a few copies of the kit and started building.

This time cutting was quite easy, and soon a rough cuts were finished.
Since the kit is very well made, it didn't take a long time to fit all the parts as they should sit on the shell.
Marking the livery on the outside of the shell was quite a fun job. Constantly checking the reference pictures, measuring and adjusting just to make sure everything is placed well.
After that, masking with a tape was an easy task.
Paper templates helped me to keep both sides equal.
I wanted the colors to stand out, so I got those Tamiya translucent paints to be backed with bright silver to add some depth.
And I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome!
This is where things started to get rowdy. Getting all of the logos right was a very time consuming job to do.
Very long process, but seeing those colors pop, was so rewarding!
