Aston Martin made out of balsa foam (art project)

This was an art project I finished just today. I'm aware that it has no wheels, so overlook that. It was originally supposed to be a V8 Vantage, but after I bought a $30.00 1:16 Vantage for refence I realized that I had cut the basic shape just slightly too small. Before that I had been using a 1:64 Hotwheel Vantage. So after I figured out I wouldnt be a V8 Vantage, I just decided to make an Aston of my own design. On another note, you might notice yellow paint that is lighter than the rest of it because after I noticed the difference, it was too late. The brush I used was also to small to use efficiantly and to big to use precisely. So leave some C&C. The forst pic is what it is kind of supposed to look like.

Inspiring. Thanx for posting.

How did you maintain symmetry from side to side in three dimensions?

Thanx,

By going slowly and doing one thing at a time. Any change I did to one side I did to the other. I guess I just got lucky. And no, I dont have any plans to put wheels on it.
