Here are some pics of the S2000 I am building. I am trying to make it an exact replica of my roomates car. The real car is fairly quick, and is a nice drive for those of you who are interested. She was nice enough to let me drive it a few miles, and it was pretty fun. Not quite the Firehawk, but it is still fun.
Anyway, about the model...
I used Tamiya Chrome Yellow spray and topped it off with about 6 coats of Tamiya clear. I was planning on rubbing it out, which is why I put so many coats on, but I don`t think it will need it. I don`t know if I feel good or bad about that. The Chrome Yellow covers much better than the TS-16 Yellow. Some of you may remember the problems I was having with TS-16. This was much better though.
Hopefully, I will have it finished shortly. Sorry for the pics quality:

From the looks of those, it doesn't seem like you've got much polishing to do at all! :cool:

Looks you have a top project on the way.
The colour fits well in the S2000 and is very shiny and uniform.
Keep the good work.

Thanks for all the complements, guys!
So tell us all about this female room mate of yours, she drives an S2k you say, cool?????
I was wondering how long it would be until someone asked about her. :D :D She`s really cool actually. She is really into cars, so we have something in common. I mean, I never heard a girl tell me about what kind of pistons and connecting rods are in her car, except for her! It`s great!
We are going to have a little contest here shortly between her S2000 and my Firehawk, safely of course. It should be interesting.

Nothing, heh heh heh!! She never ever wears anything, ever, heh heh! :flash: :) :p :p :licker: Actually, she is pretty conservatively dressed. Sorry dude.
So if your room mates are u students or something?
Yeah, she is a student. A very bright student she is! I wish I would have had a car like this at her age. I am not student, so I guess I`m not nearly as stressed. :)
