Building a Limousine
-
One of the most complex and fun props I built for the movie. Inspired by an Alfa Romeo once owned by Benito Mussolini, my version has 14 doors and six rows of seats. I constructed the car in four sections, looping them during animation to make it appear longer. Using design drafts and reference photos, I built the main structure from MDF, carved the mudguards from foam, refined surfaces with epoxy, and handcrafted all the details.
