CJ Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I think the boy must be following his Mum as he obviously has talent and skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 I think the boy must be following his Mum as he obviously has talent and skills. its none too shabby for a first attempt at a large (1/4 scale) model. He did it the way they do at Coventry (mdf buck / clay / plaster mould / grp shell) then cnc'ed the wheels. He got tiny Aston badges from Aston but ran out of time to detail it all up. As for the top end, did you see the two 'proper' ones I posted last night ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermonkey Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 nice car bloody love the wheels:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 nice car bloody love the wheels:d They are Sans wheels....sans any visible means of support:) He gave me some guff about electro-magnetic drive in the wheel arches that held the wheels in place whilst providing propulsive power. Steering and braking would also be handled by the electro-magnetic field via the aircraft style control column...push forward to go, sideways to turn, pull back to stop...He scares me sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 That's lovely. But did he have to rip off Rosie's car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 That's lovely. But did he have to rip off Rosie's car? Oh yeah...I see the resemblance...well I do show him the cars I like on here, maybe he was going for a Supra widebody / Aston kinda thang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Cool. What did he study to have a project like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 Cool. What did he study to have a project like that? Foundation Diploma in Art and Design. He pushed his luck going for a car design project as this stretched the final project brief considerably. But as he'd been offered a place at Coventry for Automotive Design, the Bournemouth bods let him go for it. He needs a pass...it will be close, due to 'a car' project not having the innovitive and inventive elements required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
