Side shot. Dan is right the S2000 does sit a bit high in the front. I get a little nervous even thinking of 'lowering' a kit myself.

I'm working on the Sierra RS500, got the body painted and am in desperate need of cutting compound!

I'm also waiting for the air-brush to be custom-built for me. It's not going to be before Christmas... Its (ghetto) design will blow you away! (no pun intended). So I pretty much have no way of doing any modelling - I tried brush painting suspension with acrylic paint, and I'll be damned if I ever try something like that again!

Oh, and a friend of mine is coming from Finland tomorrow with a nice selection of paint! Weeeee!!!!!

S2k update

Well I was sanding and rubbing the S2k today to get rid of the orange peal. However while I was getting excellent results I managed to sand down to primer on 3 areas.

Not happy I'm going to respray it black and against Dan's recommendations (no clear on non-metallic colors) I'll give it a coat or two of clear.

I found on the RX-7 which had a layber of clear it was easier to tell when I got too excited on the sanding. Bacially if color shows you're going too far.
