tiking Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 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. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I like all of this, but this image shows my favourite part. That 'rusting' on the exhaust looks so real: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
