Here is my submission from the Spookify Your Thumbdrive contest. I did a simple mod to make my USB drive look like Candy Corn.
Supplies, with a 4GB U3 Cruzer Micro:

Some paint I picked up:

Didn't really know how I wanted to get the bondo on there, so I decided to make a crude aluminum foil mold:

Didn't really have a proper mixing area eitehr, so aluminum foil worked there too, heh:

Dried, kinda peeled, and still really hot (thanks chemistry!):

And this is what my incredible Girlfriend got me for our two year anniversary as a complete and utter surprise, she's a keeper:

Nice and sanded:

Here is my drying rig. A stack of bondo cans, a pencil with a weight, and a paper clip:

My lack of paint skills shows once again:

After strip, repaint, and sand, the yellow finally goes on:

And yes, it still works. Akrylic just used it to transfer an ISO about five minutes ago, heh. Entire time, including drying, was about 5 hours. Whaddaya think?
