3D Printed A2 scale model

As an Architect/designer I have been admiring the A2 design since the first day I saw it in 2002. The chiselled bodywork, the "aviation-grade" aerodynamics and the Bauhaus inspired visual language make the Audi A2 an amazing timeless, exquisite design masterpiece.

I always wanted a large scale model of the Audi A2 to display proudly in my studio or at home and I never found a decent one (they all seem tiny and not really exciting). SO, after many days, erm nights, of 3D digital modelling I am quite close to have a full Audi A2 bodywork drawn up in 3D. It will be a simplified version, like to those study models car companies use to explore different design options.

The beauty of this is that once the digital model is completed I can 3D-print it at any scale! So I am thinking something like 25cm long, painted gloss :)


Still a lot of work ahead but I thought to share some screen grabs on the WIP

Nice little project you have there , reminds me of the scaled down models the dealerships had on there showroom desks.. I bought several of these last year and a nice novelty item ...

Id part with the Green one if it would be any help to you with your scale model designing

Thanks Gary, that's very kind of you but I am almost done. Need to sort out the wheel arches (too big right now) and add few details like spoiler etc.
 
Always wanted a decent scale model! A 3d printed one would need a lot of finishing to do justice to the purity of the lines, so maybe CNC machining is an option.

I'd love one too ... there are a couple of the dealer ones on Fleabay for £50 :eek: which seems ludicrously high.
 
I have 3 Audi A2 models, all different scales. The largest is a "Kinsmart" make and it's 1:30 scale. It's in white and guess what? I have a project, even for that model! I have it in mind to fit an OSS roof to it! It will be sliding (of course), but not electric-powered! LOL!
