The next project to work on is three Porsche G935's, one for each of my sons. Each will be slightly different to suit their preferences. One will definitely be an art car with unique graphics to be designed by the recipient. It's a great chance to have some fun and stretch the creativity envelope a wee bit.
The 'G935' nomenclature is my way of keeping the changes separate from the 935 Co-Hog edition specifications. The improvements that I like will be incorporated in the first Co-Hog edition, but there will only be these three G935's.
At the top is the working drawing for the recently completed Artist's Proof (AP).
Using an X-Acto knife to separate sections, clear tape and white vinyl bits for masking, I've started to try out the intended changes. Pencil and automotive sweeps let me make adjustments. I scan promising versions into Photoshop files for further changes. This cut and paste method allows me to quickly try many subtle variations.
Wheel center and tire outer diameters will stay the same but the profiles of both will change a bit as will the engines.
As with the AP, the G935s will have a jig plate to allow for continuous comparison during the builds. This allows repeatable positioning for adjustments and helps greatly with overall symmetry.
All of the pieces in a pile with one version of the working drawing.
Next up - 002 – Concept Revision – There has been a significant change in the overall character of the G935s for my sons. I finally realized that I wasn’t really getting back to the original Co-Hog Toys’ goal of creating a smile with every glance. So, they've been modified to riff on the early stocky, wide, pugnacious Co-Hog proportions.
