To be honest I'm not sure.I think you are correct about mopeds...I just saw it and thought honda placcy.

[rtfoe]

Ralph, you wouldn't be too wrong either as the C70 frame was covered and mostly in plastic save for the petrol tank under the seat and near the engine.

Cheers,
Richard

More updates with the signal lights painted...



The headlight for now was a flat piece of painted disc.

Excellent work Richard, I wouldn’t know where to begin on a project like that :surprised:!

Whilst unofficially learning how to ride a moped, I put one of these straight into a hedge at the bottom of the garden!

Richard this some build, you must be chuffed how it's turned out.

[rtfoe]

Thanks Si and John,

Si, didn't you have training wheels for your Moped? :tears-of-joy:

John, yup even so when I attached self made lenses from melted clear sprue pressed against fine wire mesh...



I also added number plates.



Cheers,
Richard

From the looks of that lens.....a masterful job of scratchery! Well done Richard. :thumb2: Rick H.

[rtfoe]

Hi Richard
That is excellent. A really impressive piece of scratch building. Finding a figure that fits so well is great.

This bike cries out for a "Babe" in a halter top and short shorts!! :tongue-out3:

[rtfoe]

Thanks Guys,

Neil, I do what I can and there are better scratchers around.
Jim, I was lucky but it is still slightly over-sized more leaning towards 1/32 than 1/35.
Rick, sorry to disappoint you but the rider is an old man in a sarong.

Cheers,
Richard
