TSA Transportation Modeling - Year Two!

March 18th, 2014

After working for a couple months and vigorously cramming last week, I have finally succeeded in finishing my TSA project :D
I'm doing the same competition as last year, Transportation Modeling. It's individual, and this year's theme was alternative energy vehicle.

Here's some pictures of the car (I tryharded this year):


 
The washers on top of the car allow a detachable windmill and solar panel to stick to the car, as seen in the upper photo.
Guess what kind of paint I used to paint the car?
Nail polish. It was holographic, and I only used half a bottle. If you're looking for nail polish, I strongly recommend Color Club Halographic Hues--they're not exactly exorbitant in price, but they're not cheap either. The quality is astounding, compared to the nail polishes of more esteemed brands. I thought I needed 4 bottles to paint the car...and I only used half a bottle. That was after three coats.
 
Anyways....enough digression. Comments? Feedback?
as a really random side note, my display has stars that light up. :)
