SpriteRenderer Problems

I am try'n to add a sprite to a character every time it is created but when i add the sprite to the component of spriterenderer it does not appear. Here is the peace of code that i am having the problem with

GameObject model = new GameObject();
model.name = "enemy " + count;
model.AddComponent<followPlayer>();
model.AddComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>("Images/body");
model.transform.position = new Vector2(200, 200);

 

Does it give any error messages?

 

Why not instantiate a prefab instead?

 

@mgear No there are no error message at all.
@der_r How do instantiate a prefab?

 

Here's the basic theory behind it: http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/InstantiatingPrefabs.html

I'd also recommend looking at the tutorials or downloading the platformer example from the asset store (free).
