^^ To me Saab was dead from 1992-2010.
Okay I derped big time and first did a 1/10th scale blueprint which is practically useless since I'm making a 1/3 scale model. Had to totally redo the thing so here's the 1/6th scale. The model will be twice as big.
The ruler is 700mm/24" long. Matchbox Goddess in there for scale. Yellow is the Aygo for the engine/rad package and pink is the Bb.

It's pretty big. The model will thankfully not be too wide for the door. Lengthwise, though, it's a bit tighter. This is going to be larger than my
1/4 clay model that I posted awhile back*. Yikes.

After reading the Model T streamliner thread I think I'm going to skin the model just like an airplane with "longerons" and some sort of thin skin over that. Maybe large plastic bags that the school store gives you when you buy a giant sketch pad.
*The car was loosely based on the Saab 96 and 99 Combi. It's too bad I didn't know of the aero template back then because it would have been really neat to do a tuft test on the clay model. Live and learn.
Also, also. Check out this version I had for about 15 minutes before my professor poo-poo'd it.
