Haha! Sort of a WIP. Unfortunately all the W is coming very slowly and it will be IP for a very long time.
But I did get some things done!! Almost!!
I finally made a good K20 valve cover that I can use. I did it the same way I did most of my other attempts, by laminating various thicknesses of plastic on top of each other in the general shape I needed, and then sanded and trimmed it to finish it. I also made a separate oil filler cap, not because I want it to open on the final model, but because it'd be easier to paint. I mounted them to a piece of plastic card as a master to make copies.
Success!
Then I attached it to the top of a resin copy of an F20C block (copied from the Sakatsu white metal set). Looks the business! The K series motors are very similar in size and layout to the F series found in the S2000 (but not the older Accord F series, to cause confusion here). Dig the HAMP oil filter. OH YEAH!
The timing cover doesn't look as good as I'd've liked it to, and I may redo it. I may not, though, because it fits very tightly against the passenger side strut tower and chassis as you can see below. The only blank space there is where the engine mount there attaches, so you won't see ANY of it. And I was stressing about the engine identification barcode sticker on timing cover... psh...
I also made the brake master cylinder, and the brake booster. They were left separate for ease of painting. They're not 100% to scale, it's all been shortened, but it needs to fit and look right. Oh well.
More good news for me, I'm moving this weekend and I'll finally have a place to really paint! I'm very glad, as this body has been ready for paint for a very long time, and I think that once I get that done I'll be much more motivated to get it going in a good way.
Comments of any sort welcome! Any ideas one wheels are welcome, too, please, I've got my sights set on some Volk RE30s made into 15" wheels, but I may have missed the boat on getting a set. Thanks for looking!
