Completed - Honda S2000. Lots of Pics. 56K beware.

[mickbench]

Just recently completed my Honda S2000, was waiting for some flocking, and it arrived today, and seeing as I’m on Holiday today, had a go at completing this model car. Not as hard as I thought it would be to flock the interior floor pan. Came out pretty well as it was the first time I’ve done this. A few shots of the interior before I installed onto the model, so you can have a good look.







The rest are pictures of the car with the roof up or down, and without the soft-top installed, the hardtop roof doesn't sit too well, I think it's best to glue it down, so mine is just resting on the car - hence the small gaps. The car is sprayed with Tamiya TS Camel Yellow, VERY hard to lay down correctly, as it pulls away from the panel lines if applied to wet. Managed to get it right by laying down many mists coats, leaving for a few days, and then applying the wet coats, came out good in the end. Interior is a mix of flat, satin, semi gloss and gloss blacks. Picked out a few details, flocked the carpets with a mix of black and gray flocking, sprayed the roof satin black, and polished and then waxed the entire car, no clear coat was applied. Car does have a few mistakes, the progress thread http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=424897 will tell you about these.. Enjoy the completed model.































And finally a shot of the underchassis – and that is it. My Honda S2000, the model I’ve built of the exact car I want to buy. Many thanks for looking.

wow, great build, superb interior and underbody detailing. looking at one of the interior shots w/ the shift knob reflecting a bit of light reminds me of the real car, damn... The black hard top looks swell with the yellow.

Looks great!!! and you know what, I actually think the side marker looks extremely sharp with the black out line, I think I might to that with my EK. (just hope that I can do it as well as you did).

great job. glad to see it finally finished lol. one thing though: you might wanna put a little black paint in the holes on the exhaust to make it look a little more realistic.

It took you a hell of a time but you did a nice job!!
(but I still think you should 've tryed other rims....)

[freakmech]

Glad to see you finally got this one together. after all the horror stories id have to say it looks great. and youve learned a great deal (perhaps the hard way) on this build so this was a very important build for you as well! keep it up!

Thanks guys. I know it took a while. I do tend to work a little slow, plus i was ill with flu for about a week, still suffering with a bad cough now.

I did get some extra gold rims in the kit, but next to the yellow paintwork they just looked all wrong. So went with the chrome.

And yes, this was an important build, as it could have been so easy to have just pushed it back in the box and forget about it, but I didn't. And it's now about to head for the display shelf. Another model completed..

I've still got two more Honda S2000 kits to build. I brought two more the other day cheap of ebay.. Both are the soft top versions.. The one I should have brought first time around, as the roof looks better from the soft top kit.
