The model of the month for October is going to be the Car.
There is a thread here on Balloon Chat with over 100 different Car pictures.....shock, horror.
as I did struggle to get a look that I was happy with and was quick enough for line work.

This is the link to see the other thread and Car designs, https://www.balloonchat.co.uk/balloon-chit-chat/car-11855/
It is over four pages so don't forget to click the other pages.

You then need a 4 finger bubble followed by the last 2.5 finger pinch twist bubble.
Attach the knot of the balloon to this last pinch twist and then make one more 4 finger bubble
back to the third pinch twist you made. The two 4 finger bubbles will be the back of the Car.

Push the 260 pinch twist behind the two 1 finger bubbles.
The front of the Car should be looking a little like this.

Then its onto the wheels. I use just one 350 balloon and put just one stroke of the purple hand pump that I have to inflate the balloon.
This is approximately a 4/4.5 finger bubble, tie into a loose knot so the wheel looks rounded and not like a pinch twist.
Attach to one of the 350 pinch twists.

Make the other three wheels in the same way and your Car should be finished.
