I've quickly knocked up some new handles as a test to see what they would look like with the horizontal grips (as the pod racer / speeder bikes are) and I like it! I'll go back and redo them anyway as they are currently higher in polys than i would like, and I'll add some wires and other mechanical bits while I'm at it. If anyone has any thoughts, do let me know. Next week I'm going to town on this baby.
