Obligatory Hoverbike

Bryan K

(this post is a second attempt. for some reason the first one deleted or dropped from last night)

Well it's that time for the obligatory hoverbike to add to my portfolio.

As usual, I'll start with the rough block-outs. I hope to make this as detailed as the camera.

(Thanks to Max Grueter for the rider from the warehouse)

Still adjusting mass and proportions.

Still proportioning.

Interesting, what kind of 'landing gear' are you going to use, seems to cry out for outrigger skids a 'la helicopter.

An existant model or pure imaginative ?

Original by me.

But remember, this is just the block out. A lot more detail and shaping is still left to be done.

Bryan K

I'm happy with the overall mass and scale, There are some other things not shown that will change the overall style, but I'm moving ahead with the details.

Reworked instrument cluster. Roughing in the seat.

Bryan K

2 other angles.

Reworked the instrument cluster and seat. Added rider pedal brackets.

Great start.
Two things I believe could be better:

The gauges should be a bit more vertical. The actual position will force the rider to take a longer time to read them. Ideally they will be closer to the eyesight driving position.
The footrests should be more horizontal, otherwise it will be nearly impossible to climb on and maintain the feet onto them.

Going quite nice otherwise !
And perhaps a bigger "engine" in the back ? That would be the one holding more mass whilst the front ones are used to support some of the mass and steer.

But hey, it's your imagination, go wild, I like it !

Defo miving on mate, sleek.

Bryan K

Thanks guys.

This is still a long way from finished.

Bryan K

Still roughing in the details and playing around with the tail.

Bryan K

Working on tightening up and unifying the tail.

Bryan K

Ah, that's better.

Bryan K

Updates. Added landing skids and detailed grav pods, front scoops and minor tweak to rear end.
