Hey guys,
I have not posted for a while been pretty busy with other things. I have for the most part been doing research on components and playing with TIGON drawings. I have started to read into 3D modeling as I think after I get my sketches a little more refined this will be the next step in the process.
Made some key changes to the original TIGON sketches. First I did away with the doors and opted for a single canopy like you would see in the XR3 or Tri Magnum. I decided on this do to the fact it would make getting in and out much easier. My original sketch had a height of 42" most likely I will try to reduce further to 40". Another change was in the windshield which originally used the GT6 glass. I decided to go with a custom formed Lexan front piece shaped more aerodynamically similar to what you might see on the Opel Eco-Speedster. Next I did away with the rear quarter panel side glass. I also did away with the side mirrors and opted for wide angle cameras similar to what you would see on the VW XL1. The rear canopy has glass and opens for easy access to the engine compartment.
On the TIGON top view I cleaned it up a bit added a single rear brake light shaded and centered as well as left and right turn signals. The vehicle will have a backup camera and audible sensors which will attach to an LCD monitor up front along with the side mirror cameras.
I will post some more sketches soon as I get them touched up a little better!
