I'm back! Project S2k

Well after quite a while away I am finally able to post again. I finally broke down and purchased my own Digi cam!! This is one of the projects on my table now but it is slow going as it is still pretty cold meaning I can't spray paint! brush paint just leaves too much texture and I want this interior (and off course the body) to be smooth. The few warm days we have had lately went unused as i was working :mad: . The project started out as a clean S2k build but then I pulled the wheels out of my castrol NSX kit and DAMN! I knew they had to go, the body kit is coming together as I go. Yet another aspect I intented to keep "subtle" oh well you know how I am, I CAN'T leave it stock no matter how hard I try.
I am going to eventually paint it imola orange like the factory NSX comes with, other than that I am not quite sure how this will turn out.

I actually have not completed that many, just started more :iceslolan
I will post the Revell HB tonight that I finished, other projects include 2 porsches (1 hardtop and 1 convertible) a mini cooper, another hasagawa HB and of course the S2k. All are very far progressed I just have not posted anything on them yet.

I know nothing about the custom car contest but who knows?? once I look into it maybe I will enter. :lol2:

what type of wing is that , who made it?

what type of wing is that , who made it?

I pulled it from my C-west RX-7 kit since it looked SOOO good on the S2k.

your right

Well I guess it is official, this will be my custom contest entry! I have not competed in an AF contest before so this will be interesting because I was only planning on making this S2k subtle and not so "involved" but now that it's in the contest I feel like I have to go all out. especially after seeing "FOTWs" Silvia project he is working on
:eek2:

Well here are some update pics of my S2k that is now entered in the Custom car contest.

I still have some work to do to smooth out the fender flares, I want them as smooth as possible as far as flowing with the lines of the car.

Here you can see how much the fenders are flared, enough but not too much.

Looks bada**!!! Doesnt matter if the top is on or not! It looks clean! One of the cleanest modified S2k iv seen. :iceslolan

I really like the kit on it. Looks very good!

looks pretty good to me. I like your orange Sniper nitrous tank.

Finally got the S2k painted and DAMN I love the way it looks in orange!!!
After the pics I went ahead and layed the CF down but it messed up and did not lay down smooth, it dried with wrinkles!! :mad: :disappoin
I am almost out of CF so I may have to break down and but some more cause I do plan on laying it on the hood, trunk, chin spoiler and even the roof if I can pull it off. hope you enjoy!

Straight through exhaust, looks like vrics kinda. When can you go wrong with CF?

Beautiful work. Gotta give it to ya. Love the way this S2k looks. What kit is those rims from...Tamiya NSX?

great work its really nice

Looks excellent. One of the best S2K's around along with Vrics. Great job.

I dont mean to knock on you at all, but I do notice some orange peel in the pictures. I cant tell if its paint or lighting/surroundings.

Sexy car, man, if I had that car; no way would I be turning it over on stucco-like material

it's ok, it's only the first coat of paint and it did not even gey scratched since I was soo careful. I still need to clear coat it and get rid of any left over orange peel. and still have to apply the CF, so plenty left to do.

Nice!!:sunglasse

WOW, I can't believe how crazy that seemed, I promise i did not just slam it on it's side and it's not the last coat of paint so nothing to worry about, I PROMISE it is ok :iceslolan lol

thanks god! again, great build :)

More update photos, I layed CF down on the trunk, hood and chin spoiler and started painting the tailights. Not much more done since this, I am almost ready for clear coating and polishing:will post better pics once I do.

coming along nicely. I like the mods you did, very subtle but make it stand out.

It looks awesome! Great job!

[drooling with envy]

extremely cool s2k!!!!!

great job with the CF

Wow!! u did a great job on the car! The over-fender looks awesome & believable. The theme colour reminds me of the Amuse S2000. Please keep us updated! thx.

Great Work B16! I personally think it looks better without the wing!

looks real cool man, i love the cf trunk

Ahhh! I was wondering if anybody would pickup on that?? The Amuse S2k was actually my inspiration for this kit, though I went a little more extreme with fitting the NSX wheels and such. I really love how it is turning out, even better than the Amuse version that inspired me.

wow looks phenominal wut rims did u use?
