Nice! It reminds me of a show I saw on HD Theater this week about the Shelby Cobra Daytona coupes.

It showed the plywood buck of the car body shape made of plywood. They used it to test-fit the body panels they were rolling and hammering from sheet aluminum.

It looks as if you could scale that up life-size, buy a bunch of sheets of aluminum, and go to town!

Very cool. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Somehow I feel an urge to eat waffles.

That's very cool. How big is it?

Welcome to the forum. Can't wait to see your next project!

[fabrun]

thanks for the kind words

how big is it: you know it's 2d file, you can scale it as you want
i design it 1,8 * 4,04 * 1,34 (like the real one)
and for the thickness of each part 0,05

Très bien, Fabrice!! I also like the picture you show in your profile. Can you share the technique you used to make that? Looks like you might have converted a photo to a 256 shade grayscale, then converted 256 gray shades to 256 Z heights?

For what it is worth, boat, airplane and car lofting are three different animals. If you are planning on doing a full scale project it will benefit you to learn why each one is considerably different.

Computers do a wonderful job of fairing and are a lot faster than hand lofting IF one knows what they are doing.
