Foam, Foam on the Range or How I Came to Love Wireframe.

Well, it has been over a year since I have posted last. What can I say, time slips by.

Anyways, I started the body using foam insulation board glued together to carve the body from.

Front fender with driving lamps.

                                                                          Foam pour

                                                                  Carving the sides

 

This is as far as I got with the foam. I did not like the lines and I discovered that I am not a carver.

I scrapped this idea and worked on several others before going with

 a wire frame body covered in stretched spandex.

 I have built a wire frame for the body. This will be covered with spandex and glassed.

This was a stretch test.

Another view.

 

Resin impregnated cloth. It will deform slightly until backed with glass cloth. 

Being held in a wire frame causes no deformities.

Updates should be posted more often now.
