Started work on the Cyclops.
First, defined scale. It will be 1:8. Meaning the final model will measure:
width: 12,8 cm
length: 16,5 cm (without spare wheel)
height: about 16,35 cm
In case I need to enlarge afterwards, it will be easy.
Then, traced basic lines.
This allows me to know the thickness of some important parts.
To begin, I know I'll need:
- Paper.
- Cardstock.
- Cardboard (1mm, and 2mm).
I will probably start with the laminated floor and the engine compartment. Looks like the best way to start. Then the monocoque body
It looks easy, but it is not. There are small details that are important and can not be disregarded.
