    While the vehicle may be tiny, it needs all of that detail for it to look good! Nothing can hide from us in this!

    Keep it up though, and I hope the body looks just as good as the engine!

    Hopefully the body should look good, I'll have the plastics seperated in 5 pieces, the rear piece, gas tank, front piece, fenders, and the hood. And yes it does have a hood, there are many aftermarkets you get even get for it!

    It's looking pretty good Sam! I'd raise those nodes on the bottom of the front bumper up some tho. More clearance the better

    The chain no, it will move with the rear suspension up and down though


    The gears possibly, the Rear Gear definitely I just made a simple low res place holder for the chain. I wont be going fully in depth on it. I still need to model the plastics and the seat and the handle bars etc.

    The engine is now mounted in place! :D

    I agree that the electric start is more modern and convenient... just for some reason, the kick start adds a bit of macho-ness... :p

    You are plenty skilled enough (does that even make sense? lol) to make the plastics! It may be like modeling a mini Lambo, but it is doable for you!

    Nah no talent at all, Felt like making some progress on the rear plastics, look terrible imo, just trying to get the shape and scale of it together.

    Need to finish the shape so I can add the body lines in the plastic.
