[WIP] Honda MSX 125 (Grom) - C&C Welcome

Eotech

Its been a while since I posted, so thought I'd throw up what I'm currently working on. 

Honda MSX 125 (Grom) (2014) - Small and super fun bike. 

Decided to model this as I wanted to challenge myself a little in terms of detail and just different types of geometry (body panels and more roundy stuff). I also own one, which makes getting reference images super easy.

Looks like there might be some unusual creasing here, didn't see this on any images I managed to find but it's transparent so hard to see the shape. On the wireframe it looks like the edges on the wide ends of those diamond quads are creasing each other, might want to try spreading them out more.

Thanks, this was actually already on my to do list, but glad I'm not the only person it was bothering!

Turns out I had already fixed it, but just not included it in the last region I re-rendered, thanks again though.

Been making a start on the crankcase and I'm struggling a little, the geo feels messy and very unrefined, but i'm not super sure what to do to improve it. (I can't help but think it'd also be better if the dipstick holder sectiony bit (the floating cylinder) was part of the main geo too). 

Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thought I'd update, finally got around to "finishing" this in the last few days. Any critiques welcome!
