61polara Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Nice work, but I guess they couldn't cut a circle or they would have done the steering wheel as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) Nice work, but I guess they couldn't cut a circle or they would have done the steering wheel as well.If you click on the images and blow them up and look closely, you will see that the steering wheel is a group of flat circles glued to each other.

Mahoning63 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Very interesting. Was it created using rapid prototyping from a CAD model from a scan of the original car's surfaces, or did she cut/shape by hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Man Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Can you imagine the weight of it even in cardboard. Some engineering work to just get it to not collapse from it's own weight. Wonder if it has a steel frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
