ABSTRACT:
A modular vehicle includes a plurality of modular members arranged on a base. The modular members collectively approximate the contour of a vehicle interior or exterior. The modular members are arranged on the base in a close fitting, removable fashion. Each of the modular members has a contoured surface which closely approximates a corresponding portion of a contour of a vehicle interior or exterior. The model vehicle can be reconfigured by simply removing the modular members affected by a design change, reconfiguring the removed modular members and replacing the removed modular members. In another feature, the model vehicle assembly includes a plurality of floor section modular members, wherein one of these floor modular members has a hole defining a reference point. A digitizer which measures the contour of the interior is mounted in the hole. A method of assembling a model for a vehicle is also disclosed.
