Believe it or not, the guy photocopies 3 view drawings and blows them up to 1/18 scale. That is pretty much what he builds from, in addition to other various reference photos. He builds a lite ply frame from the drawings, and fills the open areas with putty. He then sands the putty to shape.
Pretty simple concept, just very time consuming. This may be something worth experimenting with, considering his beautiful results.
