The guy was an independent. He'd bought his own laser and did the job as a sub-contractor but the machine was made by Faro.

The buck alone is a work of art. Can't wait to see the final product. Love the lines on the model, Mike!

Thanks Josh, the buck is very usable. Iam using it with little issues. Each rib is held in place by 4 screws, all screws are easy to get at, if I really needed to remove a rib. But so far no problems. I am typically shaping pieces roughly 20"x24" which are all bulbous shapes. Since I start with flat, as I shape the touches in the center until almost completing the panel. When I need to view the backside I just rotate the buck or use a flex mirror. Many times just tapping on the piece will tell if I'mtouching a rib/station. Tink tink = no touch, thuck thuck = touching and means the shape is good in that area. Could this buck could be better, absolutely! This buck was built using simple methods, tools, by myself and is very helpful in achieving the shape and flow I was envisioning.
This isn't a big old aircraft with it's easy gradual shape. This is my vision of a car that I want to build. If it looks good to me that's what I want. This is my passion and I'll build it the way it makes sense to me. If you can gain from this description, great!

Mike, thanks for taking the time to share your project.
As others have noted, I was thinking that by the time your clay was done and the buck was finished, the shape of every panel must have been permanently etched into your brain along with the small details sorted out. I am anxious to see the finished product. It should be a real attention getter, and a real kick in the pants! Very cool!

Great project, apart from using a rear wing from the buck I made it's laid dormant waiting to be finished, mine was on a 6" grid. Geoff Moss was impressed when I took part to his shop from some wheeling training, was based on
This is a C type Jag buck created by Stuart Brown / Whitney Paine 3Dengineers.
