A method of making hard surface prototypes or styling concept models by assembling a contoured polystyrene foam pattern and applying an epoxy clay-like material in two steps to replace the surface of the polystyrene foam pattern. The polystyrene foam pattern is first assembled from blocks cut out to design drawing specifications. The pattern is then shaped to the design contour. The surface of the pattern is then grooved and the grooves filled with the epoxy clay. The remainder of the pattern surface is then removed and replaced by more epoxy clay which is then sanded and finished with paint and suitable trim pieces.

A method of making styling models comprising the steps of: forming a pattern from an easily formed material to a desired design contour surface; cutting away a first portion of the pattern; filling the grooves substantially to the design contour surface with a hardenable clay-like material; removing a second portion of the pattern around the first portion to form voids; and filling the voids with another hardenable clay-like material substantially to the design contour surface.
