Can you make a Model of a car

[Fmans]

One of the designs looks like you could use the 06 concept camaro as a base and build from there. Just a thought.

I re-work and scratchbuild alot of bodies, but building a complete body from scratch is time consuming and like the others have said, costly, but it can be done. I'd look into some of the kits that are already out there and see what can be done using them as a base.

Hello,

I think you really have skills for drawing.
meybe you should try to take your chance with it in the Peugeot design contest.
here is a link but in French

Another solution if you want to see your models take form may be to contact some architecture student r some modelers from industry (in fact anybody who uses to work with prototypes or modelers if not being ones themwelves)


Anyway building a car from a drawing would be almost impossible when knowing how automotive designers work themselves.

good luck

yeah thanks for the advise you guys i think i can't afford 4500USD(=more than 70 Mil in VND)
Right now my hand is injured so i can't modeling but i can draw slowly

Nice drawing. I am thinking concept Camaro as a donor kit? Aside from rounding the rear and chopping the top it looks to be pretty close. Damn, I would almost try that.

The key would be finding a good donor that has similar proportions and curves. or a pair of bodies similar in size that you could use the front end and borrow the back end, or vice versa and so one

if you know how much pressure is involved in making models for other people on a professional basis, you will think again....


anyway.
maybe i should put this in the actual thread but seeing as they're both yours.
I don't think much of your sketch.
As a stage one, it's fine but even as a concept drawing, it needs to be taken much further before it's of any real "use".

Build it yourself. It's better since you know the dimensions and the design better. Use clay first to try it out and use that as a shell and base to start your model. That's how all car designers start. Sketch, to final layout, to clay model and then the concept.

There is a Hot Wheels casting that looks very close to that last one. Called Sho Time and also issued as Seared Tuner. But it is small and made mostly of ZAMAC metal. Close to what you've drawn and therefore less work possibly...

Here's the way it's done at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. He is working in clay; I believe the armature is wood. Many of the world's top automotive designers are Art Center graduates. If you really want to jump-start a design career, that's the place to go.

There are many non-U.S. students there.
