Zo begon het tijdperk van buitenaardse conceptauto's uit de jaren ’70, die in wezen wigvormige wielen waren, vol hoeken en randen met skins die daartussen gespannen waren. Zo gaan we te werk.
The stretched skin between those hard edges is what sells it — you can run a finger along the whole body and feel every crease of that 70s wedge shape. Mine sits on my desk and people keep picking it up expecting it to be heavy.
The wedge profile is spot on, all sharp angles with that stretched skin look between the panels. It sits heavy in the hand too, so it doesn't feel like a cheap toy when my kid actually plays with it.
I've got it on my desk next to a 1:18 wedge from the same era and the stretched-skin bodywork actually holds its shape without sagging. The angular 70s concept-car proportions are spot on, which is rare at this price. My kid plays with it, I just keep looking at it.
