It&#8217;s been a very fun competition to participate in, and the last category &#8220;Upside Down&#8221; once again encouraged some very creative entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were several things that I was having trouble choosing between, including the classic flip car toy concept. Then I came across <a href=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/d4Zp5SWZcLo\/hqdefault.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[15810]\">this artwork<\/a>, and that made up my mind. It&#8217;s a very different look to the usual monster truck type style for reversible car toys and I had a lot of fun with the sleek sci-fi racer aesthetic. My goal was to make each side very distinct, and I think it worked out, though it certainly took plenty of trial and error! And I ended up needing all 101 parts again for this entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9
