Toy CB550

My gf and I wanted a mini of my bike so we made one using a plastic bike and added Honda details. Think it turned out pretty cool.

That looks legit!
 Still, it's a shame that Tamiya doesn't offer a 550 in 1:12.
Or any scale.
If it's worth doing at all it's worth over-doing.

This is pretty odd but my gf is a baker.... I went with her into a mom and pop supply store and saw these cake toppers that looked pretty dang close.... From there I just added a few quick details to it... I'll try to see if they have a brand next time I'm in there
