[Jomnhta]

edit by jay@af: split from my S2000 thread, because this deserves it's own. :flash:

Looks nice. What did you use for the body paneling lines?

[Jay!]

Looks beautiful, man! Welcome to AF!!!

Hehe, looks like someone split the thread. Each model you show off gets it's own thread.

:sun: Well, it does. This is the third S2000 in the forum... who's next?

[G-Forces]

Hehe, after I finish the Mini Cooper and RX-7 which are both at about 70-80% the S2000 is next in my queue.

It's for my g/f and she wants it in black.

Well, silver is clearly more appropriate, but we'll let you slide.

Jomnhta, what else have you done? Do you have any more pics of this S2000? You're welcome to post them.

Thanx guys.

The panel lines are just inking. I first prepare the panel line with a P-knife. After the paint job's done, I thinned the X18 until it runs like water, and use a brush to make it dripped down the line and wait til it was dried. Then, use Q-tip to wipe off the excessive with the thinner.

Beware to use different type of paints on that or otherwise u will spoil the paint job. If the paint job is smooth and shiny, the exceesive paints can wipe off very easily. Otherwise, use the compound to rub them off.
I never use those makers since I feel they are not as realistic as actually inking the thing.

Hope this help u guys!

Hmm, see I thought they lines looked a little thick on there.

[Jomnhta]

ya, I agree too

As a fellow S2000 completer, welcome to the board and congratulations on a fine model!
It's the best colour combo, and you get to use the superb red leather!
How did you find the fit of the front lights?

Here is mine...

[Jomnhta]

for the front headlamp, I think I used something called Humbrol ClearFix, its pretty good stuff.

hey, nice Photoshop pics, I first thought its a real s2k.

[Jomnhta]

It really looks like a real one, is it??

[Jomnhta]

here is another S2000 shot

Your models amaze me . Great work again! Jay, I'm next one the S2K list. It just happens to be one of the models on my xmas list, so depending on what I get, it'll be the first to be built followed by the WRX STi.
