Re: VESPA 50s

Amazing! I have this out of the campus friends too and I had no idea that it could possibly look so good! I love all the detail, I would've loved to seen some IP pictures, with the working steering and all. Where'd the helmet come from? Gorgeous little model!!

Helmet is from Fujimi Garage & Tools Drivers set. I cut off the head and peak from the helmet and made it thinner. Leather part is paper tissue which I treat with liquid plastic (Acetone & plastic).
