[@JHHobby]

sorry for the late response, thank you so much sir! really appreciate it!

[@StaticModel]

Almost reminds me one of those channels with fake restoration, when guy breaks models in convenient way for restoration (just scratches paint and throws some dirt on it :D ), but in this case there is actually lots of modeling skill involved, good job! That's sad, when channel like this has so little subs, and fake ones have over 200k... :)

[@JHHobby]

Hahaha true man..fake restorations channel is getting more out there and yeah they all got notice more 🙁 glad you like my build and thank you!

[@__caramel_latte76__83]

As a 16 year old this sounds dope! When I'm older and have enough money for a project car, I need to get a model of it and put all the mods I do onto my project car, onto my model and keep it in my car😉👌 You have inspired me😅

Great to see the transformation from red to blue. I'm a proud owner of blue S2000 with black interior. Now I need bronze wheels :) Greetings from the Netherlands

Honestly, really nice work, very informative as well and very entertaining to watch.

[@JHHobby]

thank you so much~ glad you like it!

[@RedLP5000S]

I found this very informative. Thank you for giving us the step by step tutorial. Your work looks better than anything that AutoArt could produce. One thing that would have pushed it over the top would be to use some flocking in the interior. Overall, I give this an A+!

[@JHHobby]

hi, thank you so much for the feedback and im so glad you like it! haha ya, flocking the carpet will definitely add more details to it =D

[@Kevin_Vue_Racing]

other than the brake calipers being in the wrong position, this model car transformation is amazing.

[@metalfacedoom4820]

Nice work, I'm more impressed you didn't strip the paint, make it dirty and "find it" in a creek like the other youtubers 🤣
