Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Vespa Scooter Repair Shop - By Ulrich Busse


These beautiful photos are of Ulrich Busse's latest project, a little Vespa scooter workshop. The basis is a High Tech Modelle Garage diorama kit. Additionally, Uli built the closet in the corner and the lifting ramp from Evergreen styrene.

In the garage there are three Herpa Vespa 50R scooters customized in different styles. All of them have real glass lights and two have received a mirror. Uli painted all the details. The black "rat style Vespa" has red rims with whitewall tires and a single kick stand - homemade.

The silver Vespa, parked under the window, is a PX from Preiser detailed with parts from the Herpa Vespa. There are a lot of little details in the garage, for example a helmet on the silver Vespa or some Vespa parts of a PX in yellow on the workbench.

The Volkswagen T2 is a Brekina model, customized with ATS wheels from a Herpa Volvo. It is very low to the floor and has some details, like painted lights and mirrors, license plates.
