“When it came to making the buggy, I wanted something that would in a real-world scenario be used for utility. This project helped a lot with my knowledge of the mechanics of a car, as a lot of the work went into things such as the engine and suspension. Thanks to this I was really tested to my upper limits, and with the textures wrapping the project together. I grew to love the result and am proud of it.”
