"I had planned to draw the P34 in
1998, however after some preliminary research I felt more study was needed
to do a good job. I wanted to be as accurate as possible, and give as much
detail as I could. Instead I drew the Tyrrell 003 of Jackie Stewart.
Although a basic car it was important in that it won Tyrrell's only
constructors title.
After the death of Ken Tyrrell, I read his biography and other books on
him and his cars. I was very interested in the chapters on the six
wheeler, it gave me the inspiration to look into the car further.
I started to piece it all together like a puzzle. I also looked at
previous Tyrrells and read about Derek Gardner to try and understand his
theories behind this car. When I felt comfortable in that I had a good
knowledge of how the P34 worked, I began to draw the car at the beginning
of September of 2005. It was completed with help from www.project34.co.uk
in February 2006.
The car was drawn at 25% scale for accuracy on drafting mylar using
technical drawing pens.
Of all the cars I have researched and drawn the P34 was the most
enjoyable, and I am very happy with the final result."
