Backyard Hustler: Victor's S2K

Victor R. AKA: Backyardinc on the MS forum is one big time Honda Enthusiast. He has several scaled Hondas in his mini stable and it's growing. His latest build is a Sheepy inspired S2000. If you haven't heard of Alex "Sheepy" Soto, then hit the Gooogle, Yahoo, or what ever search engine you use. He will pop up. Even though I'm not a Honda guy, but I am a SO CAL native and have heard of Alex....Anyways, we are here to see the 1/24 version of this crazy boosted set up and a clean style that truly rolls around the streets to dominate.

Victor started out with your basic Tamiya curbside kit and turned it into this piece of art. By cutting out the hood and scratch building an entire engine bay and details, he got Model Scientists F20C engine kit and slapped it in there. He didn't take the easy route and just build it stock, instead he went out his way and replicated Sheepy's turbo set up. It's quit the unique set up in 1:1 and no less in 1/24. The interior is really clean, it sports a CUSCO style roll bar and the rest is pretty much factory trim. With a killer stance you need the proper shoes. Rolling stock are a set of BBS  that come really close to the CCW wheels on the 1:1 are coated in the same matt black as well. The paint job is really clean and is a factory matched to the S2K using Duplicolor Perfect Match paints. There is plenty I can say about this build, but instead I'll let Victors pics do the talking.
