However once this problem was over come we then spliced the 3D digital template, allowing for us to create a waffle structure.  Once that was done we then placed tape over the model in order for us to visualise the car correctly This gave us a better understanding of how each panel would look as well as where each piece had to curve. Once this was done we then
