Car
I have not been one for cars, I did make the formula 1 racing car with step by step instructions.

Racing car instructions, model-the-month-november-2012-formula-racing-car-t6212.html

and I do remember making a bird and it was laying on the floor and I saw a 2 balloon racing car from that.

Anyway back to the car, Kat posted one a few days back on facebook, it was a lightning McQueen.
It looked very nice and she offered to show me at the London jam last night, which she did, thanks Kat.

Anyway I had a play last night and one looked a little car like and the other
possibly a train if the centre section was moved to the back.

I brought all the designs home yesterday so I could get some better pictures and this morning after seeing
who had one the presidential election I had an idea for a car.

Looks good, I like the way the lines for the bonnet and boot go long-ways and the cabin section goes side-ways, makes it very car like.

Next time the front centre balloon needs to be longer to give the streamlined look for the car.
The main body is made from 350's.

Love the green car, that one is my favorite.  Are the front and back made of loop twists?

Quote from: "Tonya"Love the green car, that one is my favorite.  Are the front and back made of loop twists?
Yes that's it Tonya and it's taken me all this time to work that out,
I love the look of the back of the car, to me it has elegance and style.

I added a very basic door to the car.
