Have you watched Project Binky on KZbin? It's one of their things as well. I wonder what we used to call it before there was computer aided design? Perhaps just "tempting" or "modelling". I like the bit at the Brooklands museum where they have a "model shop" where full size mockups of cockpit interiors etc were built.

Did the original Austin 7's have a wooden "Buck" under the aluminum???

[@thedoingnotthedone]

The body tub is a ply box with a REALLY thin aluminium skin. The tail and scuttle top are a bit thicker and self supporting. Forming was just pushing and shoving by hand and over table edges etc.

Great work! What is the paint code for the green you’ve used? Looks awesome and very similar to what had been used on my old M-type 👍

I love that colour. In the next video I've some pictures from Duxford museum of some WWII aircraft and a truck with that colour on components. Craftsmaster call it "Colchester green" for the lathes. The colour on shed doors etc is Cuprinol garden shades "willow green". It's also been used on some cars as "British racing green". There's a C-Type Jaguar I know that colour. Jaguar are making "continuation" cars and the first in all their media is a similar shade.
