I've been working on this the past two weeks or so, and it's finally done after about 35 hours of work. It started out as a papercraft model, then I filled the inside with spray foam, coated the entire thing in resin, and then put a final coat of auto body filler on top of that. That was sanded down nice and smooth, painted, and finished with a slightly glossy sealer for protection and a little shine.
It's pretty lightweight (about 4 pounds) and extremely durable, too. I've never done anything like this before, so I'm pretty proud of how it came out. I had so much fun making this, and I definitely plan on doing more in the future.
Probably gonna put it up on eBay soon, wish me luck on selling it! :D

LOL, thanks, guys, reading through these replies has made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :P [quote]I'd easily buy that for $500, if I had that kind of money. Also, are you actually a female, or is that your sister or something posing for it?[/quote]Nah, that's me! Also, Coramo, that is absolutely ridiculous that it's taken so long to even cross the pond. In all my time of shipping packages to America, never has it taken so long. I'm truly sorry that you've had to wait so long. I really hope you get it soon. :/
