This very cool little scratch builtscooter from Hakan Westergren was built of evergreen styrene (lots of filing...). The wheels are from brass, some small parts came from the inside of a lady's watch and the handle bars (and brake and clutch handles) are from very fine metal wires. These superfine wires are from the insides of sub-components of an old VCR which Hakan "atomized." The taillight was hollowed out, covered with chrome film, filled with Kristal Kleer, which was then painted with transparent color. Hakan says now all he needs is a license plate! Lastly, that is a modified Herpa BMW 325 in the background of our home page photo!
