Just realised I did not post the mark 2 version with the longer bonnet.
I made this last week, sometimes I have trouble keeping up with everything.

I really love that car Graham. It is so classy looking. I will have to have another go at it one of these days.  :)

I made the red base for the car possibly a week ago now
but have only now added an extra section onto the design.

This is carrying on from the car I posted a few months back.
Still looking for a car design for the real world.

So last night I made the white car and then started the blue base this morning
as I think it needs a boot/trunk.

David came over yesterday so we had another play at the car.
It's moving along and getting more car shape.

I know the saying 'don't mess with perfection'; but I've been experimenting with Graham's cars to try to simplify the design for speed whilst trying to maintain necessary features:
There's no middle section on these cars but each one was made with just two balloons (plus 321 wheels)
Underside view shows how the wheels are connected together, you can see the linking strand above the middle section rather than through all three sections

David sent me the pictures of the cars last night so I had a play but
was waiting till he posted his ones before I posted mine to keep the
sequence in order.

Just in case anyone is confused David or as I like to call him Crofty is
registered on the forum under his wife's name Jana.

These are made from 3 balloons. Two 160's and a 350 for wheels.

I made the two balloon car at the balloon workshops this week in Airdrie and Halesowen.

So today I up-scaled them to a four balloon car made from 350's.
Made them in the real world today and they went over VERY well.
