Ringo Resin are a new British company making modelling diorama accessories and small vehicles (motorbikes!  :wub: ) in 1/35th, 1/32nd, 1/24th, 1/18th and 1/16th scale. Their stuff looks very pretty indeed and quite reasonably priced. Their technique is "printed resin". Not my scales unfortunately, but should be very interesting to the armour and car modellers.

Put the turret ring on the Vespa  :wacko:

I really like the garage set though.

The Vespa is a classic.  The Diavel on the other hand is a pig ugly heap.

Vespa in 1/24 might be nice...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I had a Vespa back in 1968 for about 4 months or so, and there in lies a tale  :angel:

There usually does!  ;)  ;D

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That Vespa would be a good starting point to convert to the French Foreign Legion 'Bazooka Scooter'. A long tube for the 75mm recoilless rifle with some segments for the ammo cases, and a frame for the cargo rack on the front.

I had a Vespa back in 1968 for about 4 months or so, and there in lies a tale  :angel:

My mum and dad's first powered vehicles were a Vespa and a Lambretta, and in that timeframe too.

They were touring Scotland when a truck with an overhanging object overtook dad and hooked him off the bike and over his own front wheel, breaking his collar bone in the process. Cue an unplanned stay in Moffat Cottage Hospital. Later they swapped the Vespa for a Reliant Robin 3-wheeler, then the Reliant and the Lambretta for a Moggy Minor. The first car I remember was their blue VW Beetle with Roadrunner stickers (chosen by me) on the doors.

You could use this 1/35th Masterbox set, but put her on the Vespa:



She'd probably fit on the trail bikes, the Harley or the Diavel too (she's fit on the Tamiya JMSDF dirt bike). Any of those would also be a more likely option than the WWII options they otherwise suggest. Might have to prune the luggage a bit though...

There's loads more stuff on the website, including unglamorous but authentic things like buckets, wheelie-bins and shelf-clutter.

Lets just say that after a slight incident with the brakes me and a mate took it apart in his mum's kitchen (she wasn't to happy) and when we put it together again we had a couple of bits left over. So I sold it on a "buyer beware basis"  :angel:
