RC Helicopter T Rex 450 pro was reverse engineered from manual. Manual gave some overall dimensions but majority of parts had to be altered and made to fit with one another. Not 100% to actual TRex but they are within working dimensions with each other. One of the rc Jet engines had missing dimensions so some parts like impeller and combustion chamber and Guide Nose veins had to be made from scratch of course based on what I learned from other models.
I worked with a guy who actually owned a car similar to that of the one you posted. Based on a lotus 7, his car was a kit car from a company called Factory 7 (?). Powered by a hoped up ford focus motor and built in his own garage. Really neat!
this was another recent project quite fun a little complex with the spiral. All relations and proportions derived from actual measurements a German scholar did in the 1700s. All solidworks. Spend quite a few weeks but end result well worth it Architecture of Gods, perfection and relations and proportions in divine harmony.
If you have specific questions on a part I will be happy to show you. I will even show you step by step but its just the relations and figuring out the proportions and dimensions takes some time. Everything revolves around the proportions. I have been studding classical antiquity for some time and exactly how the ancient buildings were building I guess my understanding gave me a little advantage. With these columns the key is in the diameter at the base. From that the height varyiing on the style is 9.5 diameters in this case. The height of the capital is half a diameter. Then the Diameter is broken down into Molds then the molds into parts. Each part is within certain relation to another. 24 channels, 24 egg and dart decorations 24 beads going all around 12 egg and darts at the top. The spirals were quite a challenge they start out deep and gradually narrow as they go to the center. The spirals are drawn mathematically but still I have been unable to discover how to achieve them in cad. Modeling wise the Leaves were the difficult part. Also closing the spiral and making solid of it was quite something. I guess once you figure out all the rations the rest isnt that hard. Lofts, cuts, revolves, Mostly surface work except for the shaft. Im not that good at teach but I can show my assembly tree if others want to attempt this I can also share all my reference images and technical info on the column Its a lot of push and pull design thinking I guess, I would build a surface then off set it then bounce 3d curves of it or use it as reference for 3d curve aliment. If you study closely the spirals you can see that each spiral vertex is a 3d curve that bends slightly different from the one next to it some more shots this is Ionic Column Stylized porch of erechtheum d
Assembly or single part with multiple body ? By the way, I didn' knew we had that Black marble color in SW. have to check for it - or is it hand made ? Regarding the Choper: won't it need some beefing up for the side wall? Great job!
Column Shaft separately, capital separate model just like the real thing. Render Keyshot Black marble with custom texture and gold ornaments. The side frame for the trex is 5 mm it should be able to support the frame I think thats what manual gave half a cm.
