Hi Ken, Ford held a media intro for the new Lincoln design center Thursday and allowed cameras. The post-MKZ models were covered or transported to some other location. Nothing new beyond MKZ was shown, but it was an interesting presentation. Best, Pau On Oct 19, 2012, at 11:54 PM,

Thanks Derby. It was fascinating to watch. He had such superb hand control it made me wonder if he followed a special diet to enable better muscle control and less twitch. As a photographer who likes to defy the limits of handheld shake, it made me jealous. Paul On Oct 20, 2012, at 7:51 AM,

Great portrait of a craftsman at work. I'm surprised they don't use robotic tools driven from 3D CAD systems to do this. Don't they do all body design in workstations now? On Fri, Oct 19, 2012 at 5:28 PM, Paul Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net wrote: John Allen an automotive sculptor tweaking

Hi Bruce, Some carmakers went to pure digital design, engineering build and prototyping a decade ago. Some, like Ford, eventually came to realize that something was missing she machines took charge.. Lincoln's clay models are roughed out by CNC machines but they're finished and tweaked by

I like that: hand tweak the clay then digitize and update the 3D model. I've definitely felt that recent all-virtual designs fell short of great hand-crafted designs of the past, and apparently I wasn't alone in that. Great article and accompanying shots, Paul. On Fri, Oct 19, 2012 at 8:24 PM,

Nice shot Paul. I suspect you're writing an article on the new MKZ, else you'd have had a problem getting the camera into the design center. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: Paul Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net Subject: PESO
