I used to make 1/4 and 1/1 scale clays and also wood/bondo and also fiberglass prototypes. I could never do the half/half thing because when the purpose of these things is to show proposals to executives who completely lack the ability to imagine how drawings and models translate to final product, the proposals had to be as representative of the final product as possible- even down to having paint and decals- even if it was a colossal waste of time and energy.
