LAMBRETTA LI-150 MADE FROM BANANA STRANDS
This neat little model was made by an artist in Indonesia. He makes these models / sculptures by taking strands of fiber from banana tree stalks. Then, by twisting the strands of fiber together, he creates small ropes, which he then shapes and glues into anything that you want. I had him make a model of my 1959 Lambretta Series 1 Li150. He did a wonderful job as you can see by the photos. One interesting thing is that all of the levers, move, the shocks and suspension works, the wheels rotate, etc.
