This was my thesis model at CCS, 2003. It was displayed at the 2004 NAIAS, and lived at the American Plastics Council Learning Center thereafter. Wish I could have kept this one. It was a labor of love.

I did it first.
Also, when you have about an hour to cut foam, vac-form styrene, and paint... You do what you can.

Have you ever done something that isn’t gorgeous?

Most of them, really. You do what you can.
This one was really a statement about proportion, surface, and history, and was kinda lost on the Detroit crowd at the time. My friend and classmate, who’s been at GM for 12 years now, did a crazy front-engined ferrari next to me. I think the best compliment this thing ever got was when, after sculpting the clays for two months, side by side, he said “I didn’t get what you were doing until you painted it.”

This fills me with admiration and yet melancholy: my deepest ambition was/is to go to automotive design school - CCS, AAU, AIPh, etc. - but monies and family support were nonexistent, and by the time I was of college age the impending automotive market crash seemed inevitable, and a career in auto design nigh impossible. I keep telling myself I'll get there someday, haha.

Not bad! It reminds me a bit of the Scamander.

I seriously love the Scamander. I think it could totally be a prop in a science fiction movie, and it’d fit in without any sort of modification.
I keep having this crazy idea that it’d be cool to build my own version of it, but make it a plug-in hybrid instead. Electric motors to drive each corner and the prop. Maybe gull-wing doors instead of the sliding canopy, and a drop-down bulkhead on the back to give easier access to the box.
