For the Ferrari 250 GTO, I was in charge of making the hood and grill of the vehicle. This project was done in collaboration with Charlie Banks, Daniel Griffin, David Scholsner, Digby Ayton and Kurt Lochens.
Comparison of our two "skeletons". We made a second one due to problems with the 3mm ply we tried to use first. This material was not slotting together properly and was in turn breaking under pressure as we tried to construct the model.
Covering the skeleton with a tape skin really helped to better visualize what needed to be done.
Rough cut-out of hood
There was a lot of trimming required as the bonnet took shape, this kept it in between the headlights.
The Shrinker-Stretcher helped to create curves along the horizontal axis with more precision than the English wheel.
Although most of the shaping was achieved with the English Wheel using a no.12 wheel. This kept the curve in the hood subtle.
Some final trimming and edge finishing with the scroll sander.
We were able to line up certain pieces of the vehicle quite well.
