San Francisco Street Car Paper Model

This San Francisco street car papercraft was created by Archidigm, a firm that provides training in computer-aided drafting. The process used to create the paper model involved importing digital photos of a street car into a drafting program (AutoCAD) where the features of the car were traced with lines. The resulting line drawing was then opened in Adobe Photoshop where color and shading were added. An outline of the steps to create the model (as well as a printable template for a green street car) may be found here.
