I just love the 550A diorama, Joe!!! I also like seeing a 356 is a less common, but still period, colour scheme, too. Is that luggage actually leather?

I really do need a Joe Blanche Porsche in my collection...

I had fun with the 550 display... That kit is from 1978:) I enjoyed doing the frame too. The luggage is made from plastic... I used a filler primer for the texture. I've but telling myself that I really need a x-man web site:) Maybe we can work a deal sometime...

Yes I copied the hinges of the real car. I've looked over how you make your door hinges(and have taken notes) and they would work if you place the piviot point in the correct spot.
