Automotive Clay Modeling

Here are a couple photos of my 1/5th scale clay model in progress. The modeling process is incredibly time intensive because the clay has to be heated in an oven before it can be applied to the model, then it has to cool before you can form it with tools. The first photo reveals the blue-foam buck under the 3/4 in. layer of clay. Using a buck keeps the model from getting too heavy and saved me from buying a large quantity of the modeling clay, which is quite expensive. Check in soon for more updates.
