BUILDING A GMP DIECAST MODEL
|
| Body Shape
Model The first step is the hand made body
shape model or "body buck". This is a
handmade model that depicts the outer shape
of the car. Someone who will pick out any
design flaws reviews the body shape model.
He then will offer suggestions on
corrections. A body shape model can cost
anywhere in the neighborhood of $10,000.
The size of a body shape model is roughly
1:12 scale.

Craftsmen painstakingly recreate the body shape
model in 1:12th scale. Only exterior detail is
the focus. The body shape model is done by
hand.
