next project... SAS Honda S2000

I started with my new project today! It is a Honda S2000 with the full SAS Bodykit. I am still not sure if i will make a full open version (trunk and doors can be opened) but we will see!! My SAS order hasn't arrived yet but if everything goes normal the order should arrive this week! I have several ideas to detail it, nos bottles in the trunk, GT wing, nice rims...

here are the first pics

Front bumper and hood are removed

I am still not sure what color i should use, any suggestions?? I think silver (this metal plated body looks very very good) and a cf hood will be great or maybe a black S2000 mhh...?

I say silver. Black is cool, but it doesn't show detail much, but does show imperfections.

I suggest you silver or white color with & black bonnet & dark grey wheels.... & red-black interior.

Yeah, that sounds about right. The darker the better as far as rims go.

"Build" your own here: http://www.honda.co.jp/S2000/i-simulation/

I suggest you silver & black bonnet & dark grey wheels.... & red-black interior.

Yes that sounds very good !!! I think i will do it this way! thanks

I say Metallic black!:D Im doing the exact same project except Im gettin the hardtop:D!

that silver looks real cool on the body. The hood, looks to have a scoop in it? Or is that just the pics?

I was in a modelling break.......but i am back :-)) !!!
Here is the latest shot of my S2000! more progress follows soon!!!

BTW I wrote a article about my Williams FW-24 for modelersite.com!! It will be in the march or april issue!!! I made some high-res photos (1280x960) i think i will post some preview shots soon!

Mmmmmmh! I like this white-to-metalic-grey color scheme! Sure it would look good with black or cf hood... lol!

sickness s2k

Looking very nice. :smile:

Wow, that's gonna be a great S2k, go with the silver paint job!

nice kit!!

Yellow with black bonnet and wheels and a 2tone grey interior

looks great so far!
for the colours: i agree with p-man

if i am not wrong it is a resin wheel but not sure the name of it...

Yes, they are Scale Production 18 Inch Enkei resin wheels!!

this side looks quite good, only very small things aren't perfect
http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/88/52588/1280_3433666139613565.jpg


but this side needs more work....
http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/88/52588/1280_3837653138316534.jpg

result......much work and not much time...


stay tuned for the next update

it looks cool! btw, what are those wheels from?

@ Orion
those are Scale Production 18 Inch Enkei resin wheels!!

today i spend some time on the body! It looks ok but i am not satisfied with it so i have to work on it!! and i also enlarged the panel lines! I think it looks much more realistic!

for example this requires some more work
http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/88/52588/1280_3265376239666138.jpg

I also worked on the SAS brakes today! They are very good and easy to build!!!

http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/88/52588/1280_6464333737323539.jpg

i am sorry that i only could get one exhaust for you :( hope you get a second one soon. Progress looks good - need a s2000 too ;)

next update!

I worked at the gt wing!
http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/88/52588/1280_3133393763643962.jpg

and I messed up the hood...... ;-(
http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/88/52588/1280_3830646433316434.jpg

I already tried to remove the cf decal but the f***ing decal won't go off....!!! Any ideas on how to remove the decals?

Great job, its looking really nice. The hood looks magnificent!

Oh!
Bad to hear the thing with the hood. I hope you get that fixed soon. The wing is HOT!!! (where did you get those little sponsor-decals?)

Andy

put the hood in water, and scrape the decal, it will work. use cold water cos hot will change the shape of the resin.

then retry the CF :D I did it, it's possible.. took me over 1 hours nonstop work

thanks for the tip! i will test it soon! I saw your hood, you did a great job!

The steering wheel your gonna get, where are you getting it from. By the way the project looks great keep up with the pictures.

thanks for the tip! i will test it soon! I saw your hood, you did a great job!

It wasn'T my first time.. I screwed a full sheet before knowing how to work with.. and for this one, I did it 2 time, first time wasn't that great..
it's not an easy task to put CF on the SAS hood.

If you are taking any more sugestions for the colr, i say light gun metal!!

[QUOTE= Any ideas on how to remove the decals?[/QUOTE]

Try sellotape/scotch tape, lay it on and burnish it down with a blunt instument and pull off quickly, has worked for me in past.

yeah I fixed the hood :-)

and I added some tuner decals maybe i'll add more...and then it's ready for some coats of clear!
http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/88/52588/1280_3436616361326633.jpg

and I removed the "pins" in the SAS Hood. I replace them with these pins. And you can see the new fuel cap!
http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/88/52588/1280_3162356263346335.jpg

Holy shit! The hood is beautful! Great job.

How did you get it in the vents so perfectly???

now that's the way to do the CF SAS hood !

look great

awesome, simply stunning!

This is looking tight dude! SAS galore too;) Brake discs look right at home behind the thin open spokes of the Enkei's and the hood and wing look perfect. Is that one of the brake parts being used for the fuel cap?

this is gonna be reallly sweet, great job on the hood, i cant wait to see it painted

so i will answer a few questions:


The steering wheel your gonna get, where are you getting it from.

I got it from automobilminiaturen.de!


If you are taking any more sugestions for the colr, i say light gun metal!!

I finally decided on the color. I will use the same color as pfau uses on his Ferrari 360 Modena Spider! TS-30 as basecoat and TS-17 as final coat! That is exactly the silver what i was looking for!


Holy shit! The hood is beautful! Great job.
How did you get it in the vents so perfectly???

That was a bit tricky...I applied the whole cf decal over the hood and cut into the vents. It's not so easy but if you be patience there should be no problem! I hope you understand what i mean :-)


Is that one of the brake parts being used for the fuel cap?

No it isn't a brake part! The pe part is from a Studio27 Ferrari F2001 detail set (fuel ring)

I painted the body today! I sprayed TS-30 in two coats and this it how it looks like!

http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/88/52588/400_3833663164663030.jpg



Now I will sand the body with 3000 or 4000 grit sandpaper and then follow some light coats of TS-17!

Wow :eek: that looks flawless. Great job with everything!

Damn! this is shaping up to be the nicest s2000 i've seen here, the cf on the hood looks perfect :eek: :icon16:

Nice work. Love the hood.

Looking really really really really nice!!!

Here's another shot of the cf hood!!

I finished all 4 brakes, only the calipers have to be painted
http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/88/52588/1280_3033306130336465.jpg


And what do you think of this, 2 NOS Bottles in the back?? I think it looks very cool ;-)) BTW for the interior I will try black/red as color
http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/88/52588/1280_3438376132643163.jpg

ok that was the last update for today and i am tired :-)

jesus, that is stunning, I am speechless!

tasty looking!

:1:
this really turns out as a cool ricer :iceslolan
i like it!

idea of nos is good as well, but they look kinda small :biggrin:

The hood is magnificent. I might spend like $80 on SAS CF and make a whole CF car, I love the way your stuff turned out.

I have a couple suggestions: CF Nitrous Bottles, CF Hard Top, and a CF trunk would be really sweet!

Total loss of words, this is one great build!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great job dude, btw where did the nitrous bottles come from?
