This car will be in the next part of my story, Clarence Coyote and Project Courier.
When imported and resized onto a drawing, it will provide the basic shape and perspective. That way, I don't have to start from scratch by laying out guidelines and proportions each time I want to draw a different view of the same car.
I made it from pieces of 2x4 wood, then I did the final shaping with plumbers' epoxy putty. This model is a guide to draw the car from. When drawing the car, all I will have to do is add the details onto the image of the model and draw out the imperfections. I plan on spray painting it flat light green. That high gloss yellow hides features too much.
I still yet have a few more to do which are; The 1957 Mercury owned by Skip Raccoon's dad. Danny Otter's Studebaker Golden Hawk. The 1959 Cadillac the pit bull teenagers cruise around in. Those will all be the same scale as the 1955 Kaiser.
It's possible the other base models could be used to draw more than one kind of car from, depending on how close the dimensions and proportions are to the different cars. Examples being; The 1959 Cadillac model used to draw a 1959 or 1960 Buick or Oldsmobile from. The 1957 Mercury model used to draw a 1957 Ford from.
This is a good idea. It's sort of like those moveable wood mannequins that some artists use to visualize anatomical positioning for their characters. Once positioned and placed at the desired angle, it makes drawing a character in realistic positions easier. Your car model looks like it will work well for getting good angles and perspective.
The glossy yellow looks like someone sprayed the car in melted cheese!
