tiking Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 As you all know I like my models used and abused. This is a little weathering and transformation project I experimented with. I think you can see a significant difference between the before and after pics. I redid the paint job, added brake wiring and review mirror and some odd accessories as you can see. Just to show that just because it is a di-cast model, it too can look used. Some may have seen this before. The Original: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 That looks really good, and the road looks just like the ones around here in the uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humbrol007 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 What a cute little abused Vespa, and road part too. It certainly looks more realistic than the green hornet it was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Properly abused, and with miles more character than any scooter should be allowed to have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
