(Not even a half an inch in length, but soooOOooo cute!)

Viet Nam News: “Out of his 300 works, Nam likes the Vespa motorcycle the most. Nam tried to remember all of the Vespa’s parts. Then he found the necessary material and finished it after three months. The Vespa is only 7mm in length, but it still has four wheels and a Vespa logo.

Nam has just finished a bicycle and cyclo with a number plate.

Eye strain

To make his dream come true, Nam has been facing many challenges.

In making small models, Nam uses his eyes and hands. He doesn’t use any modern equipment, choosing instead just a small knife, scissors and tweezers.

A doctor has warned him to protect his eyes. Nam works many hours continuously and often focuses on one point so intensely that his eyes get easily exhausted. But he uses a magnifier only to assess his products after they are finished. The difficulty is that his magnifier is not professional-strength.

‘When I work, I must pay close attention,’ Nam said, ‘I often work in the morning under the light of sun.

‘I do not dare to start a second Vespa motor scooter. After I finished the Vespa motorbike, especially the logo, I saw black and my hands were trembling.’”
