Sometimes the manufacturers come up with that little detail for a Diorama which would just make all the difference. Here''s a New Release from MK35 Editions which should find its way into a few dioramas.

Thanks!

I want the bike, I want the rickshaw, and I would separetly the two in a diorama (for me).

I applaude the subject but Im guessing its meant to be "in motion" as there are no spokes???

CHris

sweet! My first thought was a southeast asian diorama. I'd first swap in the Tamiya bike; I don't believe they ran those taxis with racing bikes!!

It should be OK for a Paris 1940 dio....Various models could be seen :







They were called "Velo-Taxi"

Frenchy

Tour de France

Frenchy - thanks for the history - never would have looked.

The rider of that bike is going to be one strong dude...it's a single speed.

All we need is PE aftermarket with a modern seat, new chain, double cranks, rear derailleur, clipless pedals and spokes. Then clean off the fenders from the tires. Voila...modern bike!

Quite cool as is, though.

I was recently contemplating scratch building something like this with some Tamiya bicycles And those bikes that come with the Viet Cong. Maybe this new release will save me some time..........Al
