Vroom and doom!
I've tried to work on the bike a bit more, digging through my Trukk kit parts to try and find suitable bits to flesh out the underside of the boss's bike.
Still a work in progress. The part between the bottom of the engine and the gas tank (with the round vertical cylinder at the front) is not glued in place yet, but I think it fits the spot fairly well. I'm just trying to sort out where the foot pegs should go - they'll probably be built further out from the bike around that general area. It's important to bear in mind that the seat will get some greenstuff 'padding' eventually, which will fill the space up and help lift the boss up from the ground, so the foot pegs would probably have to be right below the gas tank.
Anyway, still a work in progress. Looking at it, I don't think I've built the front forks and wheel in such a fashion that I could add a blocky wheel guard like in my original sketch, so I may redesign the wheel guard to a degree. I think it needs one so the wheel does not look so visibly tiny.
