Simple riding mower wheelie dio

Built this for a buddy of mine. Same guy I made the 65 Dodge dio for you may have seen here. Anyway, many years ago when we were much younger he took his dads new riding mower out when the folks were away. He was trying his best to pull wheelies out in the street. Folks arrived home and caught him in the act. Made this to recreate that event. Mower is an ho scale item that I repainted and the girl figure was modified by sanding and painting and moving one of the arms from the wheel. Mounted on a simple base with sandpaper for the road and a little grass added on one side for interest.

Ive been that kid. I remember when my dad tried to teach me how to use the riding mower when i was 8. He told me that you had to press in the clutch in order to change speeds and that was it. I ended driving around at full speed not knowing how to stop the thing. I ended up ramming the laundry pole and got screamed at for not knowing where the brake was.....lol My dad still has that mower 24 years later.......and yup that damage is still there! lol
