1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass

Hi,

Here is my prototype 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass made with Blender, Pepakura and Adobe Illustrator. It looks rough because it is made out of normal printer paper (very thin) to see how the model fitted together and I used acrylic paint to cover the body lines, which the printer paper did not like. You get the idea though. The car looks foreshortened, but that is just the camera, as I used a good blueprint for the model. I also tried to simplify the model so it was not fiddly - for example, the side of the car is all one piece. Scale is approx. 1/18th.

it took a weekend to put together (not working very hard) and is just a mule to correct any glaring issues (there were many). For example, the front bumper needs redoing and much better detailing / build. I will make some changes and build the next one out of thicker coloured card.

Ian B.
