So, I have tried some model kits in the past and always rushed them and essentially ruined them beyond repair.

Now that I have grown up a little (at least I like to think so) I thought i'd try my hand and building a 1/24 Tamiya S2000 model kit & essentially try my best to make it look like the one in my driveway.

You can pretty much consider this my first attempt so feel free to offer any tips along the way.


The Tools - Found a kit that had most of the things I needed


Half way through painting the rear suspension


Mostly done, just needs another coat of paint.

Ooh I want one. Where might I ask did you get this.

I want one too. Where did you buy it?

I found it on Ebay.. was only about $20, maybe even a bit less!

looks like you could use a bit more camber in the rear

Day 2 : Fitting Rear Suspension & Painting Chassis

I picked up some Yellow paint from the store I got the model building kit, thought it looked pretty close to the colour of my S2k but after spraying the chassis, it's not quite what I wanted. Oh well, thought i'd assemble the rear springs & trial fit it to the chassis until I get the correct colour from Tamiya.

yellow really is the best colour

This looks like fun. Can't wait to see it finished.

you can buy the model from crystal mall, i have one as well. The damn suspension when you glue it to the body doesn't sit right, i had to shave some on one of the perches
