Car
I was having a play this afternoon with the latex as you do sometimes, not sure why but decided to play with a car design.
I made five with varying success, it evolved, in order of how they were made.
Two I think needs adding to at the back and then may turn out OK, I started off with 160's and then went on to 260's.
The first car needs to be narrower, but with out car one the rest would not have been made.

A few more of the cars I made this afternoon. The one with the driver, the steering wheel section was too long so gave up before I finished that one.

Just looked at your car again Alex and I think there is a red layer missing and the engine starts too far forward, mind you I made a few variations on a theme.

Nope, I take that back. It is just the variations I made. Perhaps I should go look at the one I posted on the thread. It might be different to the two I posted here.

This is the thread if anyone would like to have a view and maybe try to make the car as well. model-the-month-november-2012-formula-racing-car-t6212.html

It's just a deep tulip twist, twist a small 1 finger bubble and push that inside the balloon, you can then manipulate the ball further down inside the balloon.
OR just put a friction twist into a 160, I think that would do the job, friction-twist-shaping-t1092.html

I made a few cars today while looking through the master copy of the David Grist memorial lecture given by Thelma on 2nd July.
These are the other two from today, the first one the wheels are too small. The clear was a round on the first car and a heart on the second.
