Super Vehicle - babyduck

ok, roman, you talked me into it. and i have a nice idea. as you guys seem only interested in the hero or villian i will make a vehicle for one of them (not sure yet if it will be hero or villian vehicle). i have seen no age restriction - i mean how old the hero has to be. so i shrunk him a bit and put him into kindergarden user added image

and as he is in kindergarden, he will have a 3 wheeled thing (don't know the name for it - a trike without engine ) and he has to use his super muscle to accelerate it.

edit: sketch updated from the scrappy mspaint to something which i call the last sketch - and now i will have to learn curves and nurbs user added image

well roman, maybe you are the only one caring, but here is a a bit progress. technical things are not easy to do, as everything that i add is in final detail, so i can only add piece by piece user added image
