My Final Transport Design Degree Project part 2 (model making)

Salams and good day to everyone on earth! and beyond! :D

The Cross Compact Versatile Vehicle

Here are some pics and my model making process during the time before assessment day. For this design project i am basicly using hi-density foam (which are used to control the cold temperature of big storage freezer in its walls) as its basic form, a wooden plank for its base and epoxy for the sculpturing and surfacing. The model im building is in 1:4 scale :)

setting the model making post. the foam i had already shaped it into the basic dimension of the design.

basic sculpturing is been done.

applying the emulsion paint for the base surfacing before epoxy is been applied.

applying 1st base epoxy layer which is very thick as i am used to hard surface modeling.

almost done with the whole surface to cover with epoxy.

now smoothing the hard epoxy with sand paper and other sculpting tools :)

fine micro soft putty is been applied to fills the small holes and making the surface much more smoother :)

spray paint grey surfacer is applied. (in the pic is Rangga who is helping me with the 1st layer, i used almost 3 cans for this job)

masking the DLO area after i had sprayed it flat black.

final colors are been sprayed :)

putting some detailing such as reflectors lights and parting lines.

now it awaits the judgment day!

well thats all i think for this process, there a few things i dont explained but this is the basic overall view how to make such a model like this. :) please ask if u had any question :)

My Final Transport Design Degree Project part 1

Salams and good day everyone :)

The Cross Compact Versatile Vehicle

i should had done this month ago just after i finished my studies but i had been busy with some other stuff. Since i already had my degree convocation i think it is okey to post my transport design project here since its a collaboration with Proton. For this project the duration is only 1 semester time which then previous semester i did a concept interior design for Proton too under the collaboration. En.Azlan, En.Zafrudin and En.Wan from proton styling department had brief us on what is a concept car and mostly stuff about proton design direction and its missions. an insight from them are very crucial as we are eagerly trying to face their aspectation.

So for this the design brief was to design a compact concept car that is production wise for proton in near future, design criteria such as sustainable, green energy, humanism and practicality is been focus on our design as a mark of good global design. For this i choose a suitable wheelbase from the Proton Saga BLM as a starting package and later on i develop it toward the needed design criteria and my own design focus.

styling and design development are on the go same with developing a package drawing for this design, i am focusing on a much more simplicity design and practicality focus so this car exterior looks doesn't goes to a bizarre radical look.

The Proton's Compact Concept Versatile Vehicle, its a compact car concept using 1+2 seating arrangement with moveable and foldabe seats to match its versatile intention. utilizing green and sustainable technology its matches the electric power terrain and versatile wheel design concept taken for Michelin wheel concept tech to gain its terrains drive-abilities.

this car is intended for a city life market that ables the user to gain more area even it is out of a city range (aka the option to go to rough activity mode or long distance travels). with this design i believe a much better sustained usage and future activity can be achieved and properly accepted. :D

so here are the 1st few pics of the project which is the final design rendering :)

a bit of My Internship exp :)

salams and good day to all,

since im a graduate of industrial design study for sure i had to ave my internship or practical training during my times there. internship or practical training is very important for a academic creative study course like what im taking, it shall provide an inside experience for young designers on the real life and work of a designer at a firm, a company, a shop or in a RnD. during this time a design student shall learn many things especially new skills and new software usage and beside learning what is to work in an organization or company ranks.

well i had 2 internship in my study years, first was at the Modenas RnD center in Gurun Kedah. I was positioned as assistant product designer since i just had completed my level-2 SKM in product design engineering. i was trained and exposed to all the motorcycle manufacturing process especially designing it, apart from it i also make several proposal for a new race stripe/body sticker for the modenas dinamik. I also helped with the launching of modenas elite and ceria back then. i learned so much from this 1st time exp especially from the staff there and En.Azmi who is the design head of Modenas. He make me realize its not easy to go trough this career and i must mature up to the aspectation.

my second time was a year ago in Proreka, this is a part vendor for Proton and happen to be an important company to Proton's R3 racing unit. over here i learned alot about bodykit designing n manufacturing. the exposure in Proreka is stunning for me and helped me alot in learning new stuff such as clay model making (thanks to the modeler staff like Abang Rahim, Abg Buc, Abg Johan and MatKi), digital rendering (thanks to my supervisor En. Zaim who is very helpful and sporting) and also how to assemble a bodykit to a car :D. Not forgeting to the head of design at Proreka who is En. Hadi that gave me the chance to learn and exp there. I had alot of good time in different car projects and manage to go a company expo at KLCC by the goodwill of Mr. Yong. :)

well thats all i think.. well below is the finished clay model design that i did at Proreka :)
