Seat L3on2049 - Clay Model photos

Here are some previously unpublished photos of the clay model of my project developet at Seat Design Centre in Barcelona.

Phase 1: unfortunately there are no photos of the inicial phase of clay modelling. A basic 3D model was developed and milled on the clay.

Phase 2: after milling was finished, it was evident that it needed work, so I started making changes on the right side of the model, leaving the left side with its original shape.

Phase 3: after all changes were made, the shutlines were defined and we took the model to the paintshop for primer.

Phase 4: matte paint was chosen to simulate aerodynamic micro recesses (like a golf ball) and to give the car a more "product design" feel.
