Default chop top widebody w/24" wheels

well, sort of. it's a 1/10 scale wind tunnel model i made for school. it has a 10' chop off the top, widened 16" on the sides and rolls on 24x13 wheels.

cad model



real model in chormalusion butter green


it ended up pulling a Cd of .45.... which is about as good as a brick. but screw it, it looks sick

IMO a chopped to on an xB causes it to loose most of it's character. Kinda like how that convertable xB looks like poopoo with the top up or down.

^^No, there is a real one somewhere. I'll go looking.

To the OP, what software did you use for the CAD?

Edit - found it:

Does WWU have a masters in automotive design? I have my BFA in sculpture from central. How is job placement out of that program? are there any that are local? I always thought a modelling job would be awesome.

CATIA is amazing. It's a great package. Knowing it will help you out a lot. I know some Pro/E and a lot of Unigraphics.

BSME, BTW.
