Vespa

This is a low budget die-cast production vespa. I have forgotten the scale of this but I am guessing a little over 1/20 scale. I screwed off the Vespa in 3-4 parts, so it would be easier to paint, weather and gain access to certain areas. The speedometer was a just a stick-on. So I made a glass, with cracks in it and glued it in place. This made a huge difference, lifting the model to a degree. I left the tyres and rims relatively clean, to show that it was newly bought as the first stage of a renovation project.

Now that is grungy for sure but the seat looks to be in good shape.

The seats were part of the renovation plan.

Charles...... you are able to see something in a model that appears to be just an accurate toy, and then you go to work transforming the ' toy ' into a scale model. This Vespa scooter is one such project, but I also remember your excavator build, which was brilliant.
