'57 Daihatsu Midget

The kit itself is quite basic but a lot of fun for just ¥750 

I decided to discard the hard roof from the kit and refine the frame and tray. Later I'll add "vinyl roof" like the original Midget. 

Using the classic pastel green and beige colour scheme. 

Discovering for myself just how amazing a Molotow Liquid Chrome pen is 

The build so far... I'm still working on a vinyl cab cover to replace the hard shell from the kit, and I'd like to pu tthis in a diorama or at least a street scene from Tokyo in the 50s.
 

 

I used some evergreen 0.13mm polystyrene sheet to make the tarp to replace the chunky moulded roof 

 

 

 

 

 

 

how it's going - very happy with the tarp. Now back on the shelf and I'll call this complete for the time being while I contemplate and collect ideas for a diorama.
