S2000 Mod **Progress**

Hi

Here is my new project.. as all my lastest one, it will take lot of time

I started giving shape to the car. I have no real idea for this one, I just try and doing it if it look good.

So if you have any idea before I start the putty work, it's the time :biggrin:

So Far I have Wide fenders, New Front bumper, and small side mod.

I magicly lost the hard top.. I can't belive this, I looked everywhere and can't find it.. so if anyway have one and don't use it, you could make my day :lol:

btw it's my frist progress thread since I join here back 2 year ago :lol:

wow, looks great. so its all putty?

Looks nice, order maybe a Mugen hood & hard top by SAS.

I just bought a S2000 yesterday and Im not sure if I will use it though...

lookin good, is the front going to be the veilside front or are u just borrowing part of the look?

here is a litle update about the Hood

I started to make a new one (as suggested)

I'm not 100% happy with the result, but for first shape built, it's kinda ok.

If you have any idea to make this baby better, I'm still not at the putty stage

btw, damn it's slow to upload in the gallery.. took me 20 minutes for 2 picture..... ZZZzzzz....

very well done with the vents...i'm excited to see the end result... great job

Vric, you should be very proud of your work so far, maybe widen the fenders abit? i dunno. hope it comes out cool, not that any of yours didnt.

im loving it so far, ive never really fully undertood using styrene to shape the car like that, but it seems to work a lot better than not using it

Hi

As you see on picture, I already widen the front fenders a second time (2 pieces of styrene) not sure about the back one.

What you guy think ? should I widen the rear fenders even more ?

if the rears are flush with the fronts leave them, if not, then widen. looking forward to more of this.

looks awesome so far! i think the rear fenders should be a tad wider than the fronts. love the cents........nice work!

i really liket he hood, that looks incredibly nice. the body should look great as well

Im really likin the hood.

ganna widen the rear fenders today.. will take picture this evening when it will be done

looks very cool

love the hood, awesome work

Wow, reminds me of the widebody s2k I started but stalled long ago

I am posting to tell u that I have a spare hardtop
PM me if u wish

Looks like another awesome build from you!!:sunglasse

not much to update.

I widen the rear fenders and started the putty work for the front fenders.

Now I'm thinking to buy a SAS hood, since I really don't like mine.

thats hot vric

awesome work. whats wrong with your hood? it looks fine to me.

Yeah, that hood looks nice! Then again, so does the rest of the car...
Keep it up!

Hi

Here is an update. I started the putty work. It's 2 coat of putty.. Usually, I make 5 to 7 coat to be happy with the result.. so it's very early stage.

Only the fenders was wonked, don't look at the front bumber since the work is about 5% done :lol:

Rear fenders are widen as requested.

Overal, it's quite smooth and may get a perfect look in about 3 coat of putty for the right fenders and 5 for the left one.

Waiting for the hardtop to come.

is that sms cf?

nope it's Museum Collection.. it was the cheapest on HLJ.

very resistent decal, you can work hard on it and it will not tear

Stay alive threads Stay alive
Godd work so far its great

Looks great. The hood is awesome, did you paint the lovers though? How much was the CF by the way?

The Fenderflares, and body kit are coming along nicely. What putty are you using?

Looks awesome!, by the way how much was shipping from HLJ, to US?

im trying to find out since i plan on buying stuff there.

Thanks,

Sorry, english is my seconds language, and the word lovers don't mean exactly what I think :lol:

the CF was 9$US I think (980Y) for a sheets of 13.5 x 27.5cm
http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?MCLDC-56

Putty is Tamiya Basic Putty

Looks very sweet. Love the widebody look on any import car. you did a great job on the CF hood.
Keep up the good work, I'm intrested.

I'm about to go update my altezza thread no one seems to care about either. J/k

The reason why you dont understand the word lovers, is because I meant loovers. I made a typo, sorry. Im talking about the little slits in the hood.

Thanks for the link. Have you ever used SAS CF? Which do you think is better. The stuff you used looks superb, but a little more expensive.

haha, now I know what loovers are :cwm27:

Yes I did use the SAS CF one (If you look my gallery, you will see it on my Yellow Supra) It's very good stuff (like everything Chris make) But Museum Collection is very close to it.. base silver decal like SAS, it's just a bit cheaper. but if it would be the same price, I would go with SAS.

Looks good vric, havent been able to access AF myself...made me mad too. looks real good. thought about blending the body work into the body itself instead of panel lines?

lookin great vric! awesome CF work

nice kit with some awesome bodywork, GTmike400 actually ment louvers.

btw I still don't have any idea on the color i should make (Interior exterior)

any advice ?

WoW....thats really good, great job on every thing so far and that front looks sweeeet.

btw wats this "styrene" thing you guyz mentioned b4....Im new to models so it would be appreciated if you guys could fill me in on a couple things.

Check the FAQ


Vric..how about brown, or leather with some body color accents?

Styrene are sheets of plastic

look at the first page, first picture to see what I added.. it's only styrene

it's very usefull to shape your mod, then add putty after
