Standard S2K
I promised that I would post some of my old cars so here is my most recent creation. It is a Tamiya S2K with the metal plated body. BTW. the metal plated body is worthless..... So i painted it Testors Bright Yellow. The inside is Black with grey insets in the seats. Here are the pics
     I know there are a "few" errors. The Right headlamp actually fogged up for no aparent reason (ive never had that happen before) and there are a few spots where the brushstrokes are noticible on the inside. If you see any more errors post them up and any comments both good and bad are welcome...

Nice build it looks good, was it brush painted. The only thing I would have done differently was lower it a bit, but thats me. Whats wrong with the Metal Plated body?

Cool car, for the interior use maybe an airbrush for a better result.

I'll point out one little detail, but on the S2000, it's an important one...
The Engine Start Button:   Overall, top work!!! |

Thanks for all the comments guys, just some responses...
The metal plated body was just really pointless because i just primered over it and then painted it like normal, i was hoping the body had a more finished look. I know i need to learn how to airbrush but i just dont think i have the patience for all the clean up. I did use spray cans on the body, i only brushed on the inside. Jay, very good point, which button is the red one?, ill touch that up (the one good thing about a convertible) matt

 Also, there's a red button on the center console for the hazard lights, too.  Another thing, I like that you put Japanese license plates on the car, but the Japanese-market S2000 all have clear front corner lights, not orange like ours... In the future, make sure to check and double-check your references... I remember there was a similar debate on the colors for the lights on one of the newer Porsches.... |

Ok, Jay, im gonna try to update those things. The real truth is that i need to start just looking at refrence pics. As a rule i just color to effect, basically do whatever i think looks best but i really need to start researching. Thanks for the pointers, looks like i have a bit of work to do
thanks
