No mate.  I leave scratchbuilding figures to those way more talented than me.

I knocked up a sidecar seat today.  I could just glue it to the floor but no, I had to build mounting rails which IRL would have allowed it to be slid fore and aft...

Thanks guys.
Now the seat is in I think i made the sidecar body too long.  Not going to change it now though.
The WW2 originals had a heater in the sidecar to stop lessen the chance of the occupant freezing on the Eastern front.

I'm contemplating the exhaust pipes.
Either 1mm styrene rod or 1.2mm wire from a large paper clip.

If the paper clip is "chromed" then I'd use that

In the end I didn't have any 1mm rod.  Only 1.2.  I used that, softening it over a tea  light to bend it.
I've painted them with Molotow Chrome.
