With 600 (Book ) horse power under the leather-bound hood, Twilight Sparkle's Speed Reader will bring home the gold trophy in any race. Just as soon as she watches where she's going.



This is the first in a series of pony race cars I call "Equestria 500". I'm working on Luna's car and have plans for Pinkamena's Cupcake Cruiser. (She'll be less creepy this time. Pinkamena Promise.) Designs are in place for Chrysalis's car as well.



If you guys and gals have any pony car ideas, let me know and I might use them.



The car has a wire mesh body, which turned out to be a little floppy for me. I'm using wooden blocks and wheels for Luna's car so I can have more control over the sculpting. The clay is a fifty/fifty mix of firm and original sculpy with acrylic paints for the paint job. I printed out the book text, bookmarks and bumper stickers and glued them onto the car after I baked it. Since Twi's head was smaller than my thumb, it took some doing to get her paint job right.



I learned how to sculpt smoke by studying Big Daddy Roth's Rat Fink drawings, which is where I got the idea for this sculpture.



I hope you like her ride. Let the race begin!



Go Speed Reader, Go Speed Reader, Go Speed Reader goooooo .....
