Sorry about the sheep in the background! They're not supposed to be there!

I like the polar bears, in the background. That is one awesome build! I'm not sure about the lenses of the glasses. Is the Vespa from the Dragon kit?

I certainly do; it looks awesome!
I guess the scooter is Diopark right? The figure as well?

The Honda C100 is the effort from Diopark. A great little injection molded piece. Lots of very little parts, though.
The figure is the Bravo 6 Viet Cong fighter(3) #B6-35015 with Hornet East Asian head with added bandana.
The glasses came from an Alliance Modelworks German figure update set & the cameras are from the Evolution USMC, Vietnam figure set.
I used 0.13mm clear plasticard sheet & Tamiya clear blue paint for the glasses so you could see the eyes through it but it came out too opaque. Oh well...
The lenses in the camera are from AK Interactive. They are 1.5mm & 1mm optic colour lenses.

The base is only a temporary one. I'm going to use the bike & figure in a larger dio.
All I've done is placed some Fredericus Rex 'long dry grass' down over a piece of stryofoam & pinned the figure to it. The bike is glued to the figure.
