Ferrari 330 P4

[Redshift]

Here is my latest creation, a 1/20(ish) Ferrari 330 P4. All carved from one solid piece of beech, with a few walnut accents and finished with whatever leftover varnish I had in the garage. Took about 2 months

Great stuff.  You have captured the style and grace of what I consider to be one of the most beautiful race cars ever.

This is so different. How on earth would you start something like this? I think I would chisel the wrong piece out after hours of work

Fantastic woodworking Of a great subject,

 Would love to know a little of where you start, and the process in general.  I would assume it is all chisels and sandpaper.?

Thanks. The project is simple, find a bit of wood and remove all the bits that don't look like a ferrari!

 

I start with the Internet and look for photo of the chosen car, then head to the-blueprints.com to find a decent 3 view scale drawing, then attack a lump of wood firstly with a bandsaw to get the sillhouette right, then it's chisels, knives, gouges, sandpaper, teeth and finger nails And time.
