(The car kits) |
Four out of the five of us were actually making and entering cars into the race. Hattie is too little to race yet. (Next year!!π) So we took a chunk off of Ben's block and made it into Miss Hattie Joy's masterpiece.
After the cars were cut we sanded them smooth as silk...
Painting came next...(Which is if you ask me is the BEST part..π) I had decided to do a panda car and the painting was where it would all come together.
I think Hattie agrees that painting is the best!! π |
The painting took quite a while to accomplish, this wasn't a small task!!
After the painting was the wheels. Remember when I said that Hattie wasn't going to be competing in the Grand Prix? She didn't have a car kit and we had to cut her a car from Ben's wood block remember? So she didn't have any wheels either (they come in the kit) and I was pretty sure Hattie was going to be upset if she didn't get to roll her masterpiece around. Grammie looked around for some wheel replacements and Voila!! she came up with some genius substitutes (after some trial and errorπ but eventually) and the grand prize winner was.... drum roll please... Wait I'll see if you can guess from the picture. π
Plastic Water bottle caps!!!
My panda was coming along nicely in all of this. I started off with a coat of black. Then I painted the head area and tummy white. The ears and legs were black. I added the face and toes. I put on some decals. Then that was it!!!
And the finished product!!!
