Optional May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Which model are you building?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Measure a real vehicle and model it from top, front, rear and sides. About 15 inches for a 15 foot car, or 7.5 at the smaller scale. A physical build, a digital rendering or 3D printing all count for the final version.
