06 DEC 02 : More detail research and studies to refine the top-view curvatures in preparation for the projections the model parts will be made from. Measurements being adjusted based on photos as well as the 2000 FIA regulations for LMGTP cars. Tamiya's Toyota TS020 model comes in handy, too as it's one of the few other tangible representations of a chassis contemporary to the Bentley.

27 NOV 02 : Spent the holiday week developing the Bentley's engineering and construction concepts. The technical illustration's side-view probably as refined as it'll get without some official resources. Starting on the vital top-view.
09 OCT 02 : Revisiting the Bentley illustrations... more research and such has turned out a few discoveries and lessons learned from the Courage C60 and Toyota Eagle MkIII model designs generate some new construction ideas to apply to the Bentley.

28 JAN 02 : Proposal's out... Freehand parts worked up for the Bentley's roof. The roof may be one of the more difficult areas of the car due to it's compound curvature. It can be done.
03 JAN 02 : Model construction and feasibility sketches kicked off as research for a proposal to Bentley's marketing folks (thank you Eric T).
24 AUG 02 : Technical illustrations started.
