MINI 13: Motorcycle

I wanted to do more to show the potential of the Mini 13 frame and how you can use it to make more than just awesome 3.5" action figures so I made a motorcycle for Lucky/Mini 13 that is built on the Mini 13 frame.

On top of downloading all of my files, you will also need to download the MINI 13 tail attachment from @CandaceLun as well as certain Mini 13 frame parts. A list of frame parts and quantity needed are listed below with direct download links from @soozafone

You will need supports for the pipes, rims, forks and the headlight. They are minimal but necessary. 

Also pictured are my Lucky 13 skins, Captain America and Orc Warrior.

ASSEMBLY:

The parts for the Seat, Oil Tank and Forks all slide over arm/leg frame parts the same way a regular Mini 13 armor piece would, while the Back Fender, Gas Tank, Engine, Handlebars and Front Tire all clip in or onto a Mini 13 frame part.

First, take the rims and fit them into the tires as seen below and then put them off to the side for a moment.

Next, take two leg frame parts and one of each size fork part. You will notice that the big fork part has one edge that is flat and the small fork part is missing a tab on one side. fit each frame part into the fork parts as seen below. When connecting the two frame parts together, make sure the flat side of the big fork and the missing tab on the small part are on the same side. Repeat the steps to make the other fork.

Take the MINI 13 tail attachment with the Forks 2 parts and connect them to the forks as seen in the picture below. Then take the front tire, slide it onto the forks, and snap them together.

Clip the headlight onto the front end and the handlebars into the headlight. Set the completed front end to the side for now.
 

Take the big gear, fit it into the engine and then snap the waist frame part into the engine as seen below.

Then take the small gear, fit it into the oil tank, then slide the oil tank onto a leg frame part and connect the oil tank to the engine as seen below. 

Connect the gas tank to the chest frame part and then the seat to the arm frame part. Connect the seat to the gas tank as seen below.

Secure the back tire to the fender using the back tire pin. Connect the oil tank/engine to the fender and then connect the seat/gas tank to fender/oil tank/engine. I found it easiest to connect the gas tank to the engine first and then snap the seat onto the fender.

Connect the completed front end to the back end by snapping the ball on the front end into the socket in the gas tank.

Lastly, slide the belt over the two gears on the right side of the bike and connect the two exhaust pipes into the engine as seen in the picture.
