Thanks... But it can work for a papercraft scale model, but not to a 5 meter long solar Morelli car.
It would require countless pieces os flat wood and incredible precision of cut and tireless patience and skill to join everyting, and endless filler to smooth it to the "Morelli's "dolphin curves".

Obtaining the final form without wooden egg crates and cut and shaped blocks of foam strikes me as a potential time and money saver. A smooth convex shape like the Morelli body would have a very simple peel pattern.
Lightwave? If it works for you (and your system) go for it. |
