Great work on detailing, as I posted in your WIP as well.

Any idea where your friend got this tiny bike from, because I'm not used to see bikes in 1/24 or 1/25 other then MotoGP bikes.

And maybe an idea to make a little diorama or more detailed baseplate for it, just black wood doesn't really suit such a nice job .

Well done, looks realistic with the additional parts.

The only improvement would be etched parts for the spokes and engine parts, but this is just dreaming, those are not available in 1:24/25

My firned told me he got the bike ina subway station 20 years ago, these bikes were made by Lodela, a Mexican company that re-edited Revell models, because these models didn't dell well, they gave them away in a Airplane scale model kit, so he bought a Boeing end he got this little Honda as a extra gift.
Yes I have been thinking in making a "street" bas for the minibike, or maybe some rural road base.
Thans for youe comments.

You are right, but this began like a quick simple proyect, a quick build, because the model in general i bad, anything assemblies good, so I decided not to add better spokes, but I got excited and decided later to add more and more detail.

Excellent! Love the subject and detailing, even the pictures somehow add to the feel of this model! Great stuff.

Looks fantastic, great detailing. I really like the milk containers, a great touch to add to it

What a great idea Alex!!
The milk containers, the vase and the air pump, you really gave attention to details and did it well I must say.

I hope to see it in person, are you bringing it to Leon next year?

Felicidades, buen trabajo!

Thank you Agamo for the comments, and yes, Im going to bring it to Leon and to the Nextia contest, along with a 1/12 bike with a loooooot of aftermarket items, maybe I would need some of your advise for that bike.
