Yo,
I had a small update on this blog yesterday, but promised a new one today, and here it is. The finished model (except for a spray paint coat to seal up the wood - that comes next).
I am assuming now that the build is gonna be a bit slower the days to come, because I need to figure out a couple of things when it comes to casting the mold. Gotta get hold of release wax too, so I don't think I'm gonna be able to do more with the enclosure before after easter...
Anyway, here's the pictures:
Main coat of bondo sanded down (took a while yes) and the second and third layer waiting to dry up for moooooore sanding
Shoot of front panel, all sanded and cute looking.
Detail shoot of the right horn muhahahaha.
I am still proud and amazed of how cool it looks in profile. hehe.
Details from the left horn.
Backside-ish photoshoot.
Upside down
Upside down horn details. Just like a turtle on it's back
I had a sudden stroke of inspiration - I think it looks so evil - I just had to add some accessories to it
. I don't know how well they will stay on during transport though! 
So, That's it folks. Next time I add a blog entry for this build, it will be of me casting the mold! Yeey!
Have fun!
