Got the beginnings of a "turbine block".
I like the feel of it. I need to flesh it out a little, but this is the engine block like greebling under the gas tank I was looking for.
The hover cycle now has tread. The handle bars also bow out a bit. . . though I may have to adjust that so it's smoother. Instrument panel, gas cap. Still need the actual gauges behind the glass, but it's getting there.
Definitely a work in progress.
I have a fair amount of detail to add to it.
Tire treads, more greebles in the mid-body. Better and more details for the shocks. Mirrors. Bulbs for the lights, etc.
Still, I'm pretty happy with this initial block out.

I don't know if I said it, but thanks for the encouragement.
Overall I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. The main thing I'm trying to figure out is how to greeble up the bit where the manifold meets the turbine housing. That whole under-seat area needs a bit of work.
I think after I figure that out, the rest should be *relatively* straight forward.
Cabling from the handlebars to various spots on the bike. Break levers. Foot petals and shifters. A little bit of sewing trim around the seats and some detail to the handle bars.
I'm just not certain yet how I want to handle the body under the seats.
Getting the manifolds to appear to be plugged into the gas tank and turbine housing was a pain.

A little here, a little there.

Cool concept. It's for future future Marty McFly. It's taking shape man, keep adding detail and stuff. Don't leave it there.
