S.A.S S2K project - pics

This is the current state of the Marga Hills/Mugen S2K i've been working on. Its just been given a coat of primer to check for areas that still need attention. I little more filling required here and there plus a general tidy up, a rear diffuser needs to be done and then this transkit is complete.

I'm pleased with it and its been an absolute joy to build, LMK what you think???;)

This is the real thing - http://www.marga-hills.com/s2000.html

This final pic is to show the Veilside tonneau cover i've done. It was a real bitch and i put it off for months, there is still much sanding and shaping to do to get it looking right.

That S2K looks better everytime I see it. The body kit is absolutely perfect for the car. My favorites are the side skirts and the hood. I'm not sure about the wing w/ one post. It'll probably grow on me though... Do you plan on offering the entire body kit on your website? If so, I want one! I can't wait til' it's all done and painted. :bandit:

Very nice! It's gonna be one mean looking S2000 :ylsuper

Are you going for the same blue as the real car?

Amazing.............:eek2:

What rim is that? Looks familiar to me...:confused:

Forhod,
Tamiya Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 wheels... They look good on everything!:bandit:

Chris, that S2k looks perfect even in primer-can't wait to see it in color. Beautiful job, such accurate body lines and attention to detail.

Its certainly my favourate kit for the S2K, the wing is a bit controversial - too ricey some say - but i like it! The transkit will be available, the Marga Hills components will be one set and the Mugen hood and hardtop will be seperate, but will become part of the Mugen set once i complete that bodykit which i will start in the near future.

Most probably yes! I love that colour and it will suit it well.

I think you should put me down for one of everything you plan to offer and let me know how much to send to you. I will be there to make sure you turn a decent profit:cool: :cool: I will also put your banner on my website to help you promote it if you would like! Oh, the model is breathtaking even without paint!!! :sun: :sun: :sun:WOW it looks super great. I'm gonna go buy a tamiya s2000 just so i can buy the body kit off of you when it's time. VERY well done. Can't wait to see all your other work Me Too!!!:D

Chris that is look awesome!!!!!!!!! nothing close to what mine looks like......except for the hood. MAY I ADD I AM THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS HOOD MADE BY CHRIS!!!!

Never seen this kit before :rolleyes: , not overhere, but it looks really great. But what can you expect from the most powerfull 4-cyl on earth! Keep us informed on how it is going.

cheers.

:confused: You mean die-cast conversion?

no, he took a tamiya s2000 kit and built a body kit on it, and a top, and a wing..........

Abso-freaking-lutly beautiful, Chris. :D

Beautiful work Chris. clean and perfect in every aspect. you are my rolemodel:D . How do you get the edges so crisp? did you use plastic stock as the backbone? again, a great job.

That must be the best compliment i could have hoped for.;)

That's exactly right. There was not much putty used on this at all, just small amounts to fill areas and shape contours.

great thanks for the reply. the job you've done is so perfect i cant even tell how you did it. it looks like it came that way. cant wait to see it completed.

Awesome Job with dat S2K!!! I really like the hood. Hook me up! hehe.

What tools do you use to keep the edges straight when sanding? Did you use a dremel or anything like that?

Damn fine conversion Chris!
He-He 2 more weeks to go till Mid-September!!!!

WARNING! Don´t visit Chris´ website, it will take all you money! :D

Dude, that´s a very nice car, my english is not good enough to express my admiration. For the next years I have enogh models to built.

Any straight edges are made with styrene sheet and a basic skeleton is formed. Putty is just applied to fill in areas and to provide shape. If there is any sanding to do on flat or straight areas, i use a wooden sanding block that came with one of those cheap hobby knife sets - its one of my most used and useful tools.

Fantastic!:eek:

Chalk me up for one of these body kits once they are available...

Well Snooker I've gotta spend my money somewhere I suppose and
I'm pretty sure Chris won't mind us all lining his pockets with gold.
:D :D :D :D :D :D

wow. guess i should redo my s2k.:p
