Gonna start a thread for the scooter events that I go to as an aside to my scooter build threads.
I'm pretty biased towards the style of scooter I photograph as not all tastes appeal to me.
So last weekend was an event in Scunthorpe put on by the Scunthorpe Silhouettes SC.

Awesome paint skills on show. Scooters ALWAYS seem to have the best paint jobs anywhere.
I remember seeing one at the NEC a few yrs back that was themed on the 66 England World Cup win, it was incredible, the paint looked like photographs. Tbh that Ian Brown image looks about the same, amazing

Tbh that Ian Brown image looks about the same, amazing As I've said many times before, when it comes to custom paint the scooter scene has been lightyears ahead since the 80s. The man responsible for most of those paint jobs above is Dave Dickinson www.ddkairbrushing.com/ |

The first photo in this thread is 'Sign of the Snake' 90% of this 8s the original paint job from when it was first done in around 1985. Painted by a chap called Maca at DTC (Down Town Customs). He was responsible for loads of iconic custom scoots in the 80s. I finally got to meet him at this show, bit of a fanboi moment Now more famous for his 'Streetracer' style paint jobs, all adapted from the racing scene of the mid to late 80s.  |

Think I may have put a pic up of this before (maybe not) a work mate built this in (I’m guessing) 83/84. He also had another amazing Lambretta in metal flake purple & lilac with Angelic Upstarts theme. Was called ‘Out of Control’ after one of their albums I believe.  |

Scooter Nova magazines Scooter Expo 2 was on Sunday, the first show was cracking so was very exited for this.
Once again they invited me to do a paint demo Pinstriping and Signwriting.
The emphasis of the show is bringing together old custom scooters with modern and restored examples.
It's held at Alfreton Leisure Centre in Derby and is a cracking venue over two large rooms.

Didn’t realise they held anything like that there. It’s literally 5 mins from my house 🤦🏼♂️ Just on a side note slacker, look at my thread on retros & classics on Madeira, I put some stuff up there for you if it’s of interest |
