Here's a tutorial showing how to build a 1/5 scale automotive design clay model of the Ariel Element, the Ariel Atom’s big brother! The Ariel Element is an open wheeled mid-range supercar meant to compete for market share with mid-range Ferraris, Lamborghinis and McLarens and outperform them with unique and proprietary aerodynamic features.
