In-Progress S2K

Well...I've been at work on this for a while. I'm still waiting to get putty and build the body kit. It's supposed to be the S2K From 2 Fast 2 Furious. So far I have the Interior done, the underside and Rims. For the Rims I used XS Tuning Sports and used the S2K rubber, The rims were the closest i could match.

The interior was built from reference pics from many sources. Flocked the seats, center console, shifter boot and door inserts. I have the gauges and stuff printed up and waiting. Picture I have now is old and outdated. I'll get newer pics later. Sorry for fuziness in pics.

This is the underside. I wasn't sure on colors, so i just thought differently. Pink, Flat and gloss Black and siver.

Hope you like #2 in the series of 2F2F Cars. Updates will soon come. Thanks for looking

Cool idea. Are you planning on doing all 4 of the cars that raced in that
first racing scene? I wish Chris would make a Veilside s2k body kit, I
actually liked the black one in the First fast and the furious :sly:

what do you plan on doing for the decals?

what do you plan on doing for the decals?
that's gonna be a tricky one. The decals were amazing, I especially like the lil screen with the anime girl growling

Well...I really wish I could. But seeing as each car costs me about 100$ just to build...it would be easier if I had a sponsor of some kind. The only one I'd like to do is the Lancer, but all 4 do sounds cool... As for the decals...I'm thinking of getting some thin brushes and hand painting them on. I have already hand drawn the car and had a good idea of what im doing..so wish me luck. Pics coming soon.

pfft..... you should make those bad ass dodge rams they used, or the challengers :)

Heres a few new pics. Interior and exterior. Underside shows blacks better.

Thanks for looking. Still waiting on a few things.

That looks good dude. Seeing how your last 2F2F car turned out, I'm sure this is going to be awesome. Maybe you should just make every single car that you can that was in 2F2F. The Ram's, the Supra, BMW, Corvette, Mustang (that gets the hell ran over), the Yenko Camaro, etc. lol

Dang! i like it!! This is gonna be pretty cool!! :sunglasse

Um. I have to say one thing. Your rims, I'm not sure if those are what you're using, but they're too small.

I said already that the rims were the closest I could match. If anyone can find something closer...i'd be happy to look into it. Also, I'm looking for a Veilside Wing for this car, preferably the one from the RX-7. If anyone can hook me up for trade, it'd help alot. Thanks.

cool project man, are you gonna do pink flocking on the interior to? I no the one in the movie had that troll hair kinda fur all over the place (but ugly to me but not my car) what color of pink is that? is it brighter in real life? the only thing i can find is a very pale pink by tamiya and i was looking for real bright pink to do a supra with, but had no luck and did it purple

Oh, ok I didn't realize. Well you could put pegasus sleeves on them to make them bigger.

The pink I used was Model Master Hot Magenta #2955. I did flock the interior, its just really hard to show on pics. And the tires are 3/4" which translates to about 18" rims. They're big enough to suit the job.

wow, so.....how should I say it....PINK! :D Cool, dude

Wait, svt, weren't you gona do the body kit?

I couldnt wait to see what it was gonna look like..and i used up the rest of a can to do it. The can was old and the colors didnt match. I got a new one so, im ognna strip the body and redo it after I add the bodykit

that's cool. BTW, about how much did it cost you to build your skyline??

Too much! LOL. I think it cost me about 120-140$US and it was worth every penny.

Daamn. I wouldn't think that much, well I guess with time and labor. I'm asking because suddenly, I want that car, I've pre-ordered the 1:18th die cast that this place has of it, and I wan to build it, and a freind just gave me a Vspec II R34 tamiya kit. I figured if I stuffed the chrome 6spoke wheels in it half way into some Pegasus sleeves, I'll have some HRE look-a-like's, just would need the C-West kit, GT-Wing, silver paint, blue paint, lot's of masking tape and alot of patience. Guess I'll just have to settle for my 1:18 die-cast.

Actually, it is pretty easy as long as you dont go into too much detail. The C-west SAS kit is only about 25$ and a SAS GT-Wing set isnt too expensive and you can do 4 cars with it. When you get the R-34, you should post pics of it and then I can compare them

No problem. It'll be a while, since the 1:18 wont be out till 4/1/04, but as soon as I get it, I'll have every pic of it taken that I can. Hell, I'll take the body off to photograph the inside.

Well...it's time to start this project up again. Sorry for no pics yet. I think the only thing ive done is the Tach and the rear part of the exhaust. Yes posts are useless without pics...but you'll have to wait. I'll get some pics taken tomorrow and post them after school. wont be here this weekend though.

Just a quick update....the custom exhaust.

Still need putty.....which is on backorder to LHS

Nice exhaust!

looks good SVT.

Well...heres a quick dash update. DVD screen is done. Thats 100% done on interior.

Lookin' awesome Kevin... Screen looks sweet! :sunglasse

Just curious...are you gonna custom make that thing that goes behind the head rests to cover up the gap from the seats to the back of the car?

P.S., the skyline is amazing, i cant wait to see this one when its finished!!!

DAMN thats coming out to be a good model exactly as the S2k from the movie thats cool.

wow dude that is major skill there!, Most people that have been modeling for years cant even do that!

well...i still have to do the bodykit..and the roof cover. Hopefully that one wont be so bad. I'm trying something else besides tamiya at the moment, the orange epoxy putty. I'll update as things happen. OH, and exhaust has been sprayed chrome and metal tips stripped, buffed and polished.

Hey man, haven't seen any pics in a while, hows in going?

well...i just got an after school job, so the updates will be few. I still don't have any tamiya putty and im still working on the wing. Anyone know where I can send a design to make a one off photo etch upright?

doesn't SAS make the wing that the s2k had?

wow those rims looks super nice on the car :):)

Thanks, XS Tuning rims work really well

doesn't SAS make the wing that the s2k had?

No, the SAS wing is based off of the c-west wing i think. I used it on my skyline and the uprights are totally different.

Veilside Wing (link to veilside site)

Well, Its been a long time and I wish I could post some new pics, but nothing has happened to it. I just finally got some putty, but i'm not sure if its enough for the job (1 box). Also have the wing done-very difficult. I'm spraying a primer coat then i'll post pics of things I have done.

did you already make the decals? i am looking for them too but didn't find enough pics in the net...

I have alot of pictures and even the diecast cars, but nothing ive done ywt has worked. I'm still talking witha few local printing places and im working on my own drawing at the moment. Nothing good yet. Still working mostly on the boot cover. i can get some pics later..I jsut got home from Guard Drilling.

ok, i can't wait seeing more ;)

Heres the start of it. Still alot of putty work to be done and a little shaping. Then I start the Bodykit.

Thanks for all who are watching on limited updates.

cool...very early stages, but definetly will look awesome.

thats coming along nicely...although slowly

oh yeah, this really gets a nice model

looks nice.... but the pics where not good....

After a little drying, sanding and cutting of my finger, this is what comes out. It's still not done. I accidentally broke off a side so i have to re-putty it. Here's the pic.

Thanks to FOTW for all his help in helping me build parts.

heres some terrible pics of it the bonnet cover. Its pretty much finished. I'm still trying to figure out how to do the airbrushing and the rest of the bodykit. I need to make a supply run for sheet plastic and stuff though. Any help on the bodykit would really be helpful. This is my first time building things from scratch plastic.
