CarBEN Model -- 1/24th scale model and 3D computer model for EV
Hello & welcome to the beginning of a project that I think/hope I can pull off -- I'm trying to build an EV from scratch. I have started with making a 1/24th scale (aka 1/2" = 1') model of the car I have been contemplating. It is approximately 13 feet long by 5 feet 8 inches wide by 5 feet high. In other words, it is very similar to my Scion xA -- it is about 2 inches wider and 5-6 inches taller. Here are photos of the model so far:
So, what do you think? I need to find some 1" diameter (2 feet scale) wheels -- my intent is to have them fully inboard and skirted. The fronts would have to be slightly articulated i.e. the skirts would move when turning sharply.
