I'm torn between 3 ideas..

one's the same concept but either toon or more realstic

the other a car or bike.. i like the bike because it interests me more than a car does.. in my experence abandoned/un attended bikes in any shape or form never stay abandoned for long!

ok.. I'm going with the abandoned bike idea


Part 1 dead bike bits


Front wheel, its kinda based on a 80's Kawasaki wheel, in the final pic it won't look so new, may change the spokes and less disc bolts


edit

yep the spokes need to go! they look thinner ever time i move the cam lol

This should be a good one.

I have a small tutorial in my thread that shows how to make tire treads if you want to try it out:

Thanks for that Kena :cool:

It's spot on for the rear tyre on a bike it's age and size, the front is usually un broken ribs running round which is easy enough with the lathe tool :)

heres a pic of a rear Avon SM, they where the cheap option up until the early 80's, really scary on corners because of the square profile but they did lasted for ever lol

The bike is just going to be a made up with elements that are easier to model, plus I'm not going to get hung up on getting the details right and never finishing it


edit.. oh c***, i just messed up, I was rushing about, deleted the old tyre and forgot it was grouped with the rim and centre hub and close ts.. i keep forgetting it doesn't ask if you want to save or not, can you get it to prompt?

I'm really struggling right now but i haven't given up.. theres a possible change of plan as far as the bike goes but the overall plan is more or less the same
