I got a little mixed up trying to scale it right but I think it's 1/20 scale. The finished car should be similar in length to a Mk1 Golf, although nearly half the width and a good 20cm shorter in height. Although, that sounds pretty big and those dimensions are apt to change.

This specific size was motivated by a desire for ease of sculpture. I can go to town on it with a foot long file with no problems. Big enough to show form but small enough to rough in the form in a few hours.

It would be ridiculously small for tuft testing. Maybe the full size buck will get a run, though I'm not sure how. Might have to lean on my intuition.
