Exocet: phase1, theme and image boards - One of the first thing we did was study the market and imagined what kind of world 2007 would be.
-The first board shows a "waterworld"
-The second and third are the target market
Exocet: phase2, sketch1 - Early drawings.
- Sea-doo with some sort of a suspension
- Sea-doo inspired by the hydroplane boats
- Sea-doo inspired by the motorcylce
Exocet: phase2, sketch2 - Action scene
Exocet: phase3, sketch3 - Once the technical package and a overall look was determined, different concepts (details) were proposed.
Exocet: inspiration images - Here are some images that inspired the concept.
Exocet: phase4, model making - Once the concept drawing was chosen, a model was made with industrial clay.
-A line tape drawing was made with the mechanical package, this is for proportions and making sure the design fitted the mechanic (theorically).
-Ergonomic study was made since there was no such document availabe.
-Model base with mechanical package
-Model completed (it took two takes)
Exocet: prototype1 - This was built by the engineering group to validate the mechanical aspect.
Exocet: phase5, building showroom prototype - -The model was scanned. Over 100 sections were made.
-The sections were printed and clued on foam. The foam were clued together. This is the master for the fiberglass application.
-Car putty and fiberglass was used to make the details
-Fiberglass was shot on the master and once dried, the foam was removed from under.
