This is my attempt at a Honda S2000 with the SAS bodykit and Bonnet, never done any major surgery like this before so this is a big learning curve for me.

This is how far I have got, 1st the bodyshell from this:

I have choosen a light blue metallic as seen here on the chassis whilst test fitting most of the parts:

Got a bit more done, finished the underside:

Here you can see I added photo-etched disc's and made the suspension out of brass for a bit more realism. Also need to finish off the exhausts but the kit exit pipes are to small so going large bore :iceslolan .:

And one of the front

And made a start on the interior and flocked the floor, decided to have a black and tan coloured interior which will hopefully suit the light metallic blue of the car.

Chassis looks great. That flocking should go well with the light m.blue.

Nice looking interior, how did you made the floor look like carpet?

Nice looking interior, how did you made the floor look like carpet?

It's called Flocking can be found at most large model shops and is very easy to apply.

This looks great... You are an encouragement for me to finish my s2000 now. :)

edit: Did you brush paint the details on the underside? the engine block etc? Just wondering...
