Sketchy start
So I don't know if I'm actually going to have time to work on this thing or even finish it in the forseeable future thanks to the amount of time school's comsuming, but I figure it doesn't hurt to throw up here.
I'm working on a rough boss biker plan. I've come to the conclusion I have to scratchbuild most of it to get satisfactory results, as trying to make a warboss bike out of a normal boy'z bike and legs is not going to be nearly impressive enough. I drew out a general plan, which I'm hoping I can keep to:

That's my general plan, anyway. I've been trying to make it roughly to scale with the picture in the top right corner - if your monitor is at it's native resolution, that should be roughly the size of the finished project.
I started with the gas tank and general body of the thing. I'm just trying to come up with something I can build off of later. The rear wheel's an extra-widened older edition bit, and I think I'm going to end up using one of the newer warbike wheels for the front.
Anyway, this is as far as I got in about a day:
We'll see how it goes. I need to widen the area underneath the tank and seat and add some more mechanics, but I think I might move to the front and get the front wheel on there so I at least have some sort of full chassis to build on.
