Here's a quick peak at one of the new motorcycles I've been quietly plodding on with.
It's painted a simple off white ,to contrast with uniform. I could go on and say it makes it easier to photograph. But its mainly because I'm out of practice and have a run of bad luck with painting black.even this ones gone gloss on the uniform (serves me right for trying to rush and using purity seal)

Very impressed by the windshield, that really works.
-
It's perfect 😊, when do you think it will be released.
-
Love that more than the wife and me dog put together! Really cracking work.
It's going to be released? By who please? A must have! 👍

I'm glad you like this one.
The police BSA bike is cast., there's also a master for a police side car with a passenger (policeman). The WW1 Clyno sidecars both civilian and Vickers armed sidecar will work with this. Bike.
There's also a Norton 16h motorbike,Both a civilian and military version including sidecar.
Plus a civilian rider for the earlier Clyno bike.
I'll add a picture of the Nun on a Norton. If you like. It's suffered a little more than the police bike . With varnish shine.( i won't have time to correct them this week.)
There's also a civilian sidecar with a soft top up that will fit all three bikes.
Last but not least the adventurer on a BSA ( in Septembers Wargames illustrated)
They'll all eventually be added to the 'follies' range at 1st corps miniatures.

Fantastic!! Your buildings in the background look top notch too.
-
That is bloody awesome.
-
Yep, like that :)
-
Cheers gents,
Here's a couple of pictures of the Norton (and Nun) . Sorry about the shine as mentioned earlier the varnish has killed the painting.
-
Looks good 😊
-
Great stuff - the movement in those figures is spot on. The Nun is incredible. Top job Sir!
-
They're both cracking figures. You're making it harder to resist the 1st Corp Follies stuff. That looks like a great table too.
-
Love the nun - that's a must have
-
If only these had been available before I bought a dozen US bikes and riders and had to write a complicated back-story to explain how they came to be used to equip a Wiltshire police unit. Well done - they look fantastic (although I hate to see them on those bases...!)

They're based to cope with the sausages fingered pokes they'll undoubtedly receive on the 1st corps trade stand. These won't end up on my table.
I'll be painting mine up without the riders.

Will there be a choice of police riders i.e. with a flat cap.

Ahh -right. Makes complete sense.

Love 'em! You're doing some great (and unique) stuff mate :)

Cheers,
JP. I've not forgotten about you.
Nans been up graded from infantry to an armoured car. As she rides in the new improvised armoured car.Riding with a chap who's loosely based on the chap in the photos.
I've not had chance to check with Simon if he's cast her and the car I've quite a back log of masters for these ranges. So I'm never sure what he'll cast next.
If anyone's interested I've still the police side car on my desk its not much to look at just a squared off egg shape with a copper sat in it. But if you do I'll post a pic or two.

I would certainly be interested in seeing a picture of the police sidecar.
This could be the start of a mobile police force for my VBCW games 😊

I think it'd make nan's day to ride in an armoured car :D
-

A few police forces certainly did have mobile units on m/c combis and in trucks in the '30s, sort of forerunners to today's Operational Support Units; the forces with large areas under their remit needed them.
-
Some interesting photographs including a female motorcycle unit
-
Will be watching for these to become available.
-
Nice bikes!
I would have picked another base.
-
(the bases are to save space on the display)
The new bikes are compatible with the sidecars from the WW1 range. So you could up the fire power for VBCW.
The sidecar with the officer passenger. Works too so you get more variation.
(sorry for the stock photo turns out I never photographed it before it left.)
As I mentioned the police sidecar look like little more than a squared off egg,As its prepped for casting.
I've also made the police motorcycle rider compatible with the WW1 Clyno.
(prepped for casting so there's no point posting a picture)
-
Thanks. No flat bases?
