I have a distinct memory of recently seeing BEFs on bikes in 28mm. Anyone remember?

it's a shame that there so few bicicle models available, it has always been a very used transport throughout the wars... if you don't count the crusades :)

Wouldn't mind some for the Great War, myself.

Speaking of which, I got a pack of Wollsley helmets with neckflaps, both padded and unpadded, from GB the other day. Nice'ns.

I've got some of them and all. And some of the tin hats like the ones in the picture. I wanted to put them on some of my Indian cavalry, but sizing them up I think the GB heads are a little wee to go on Brigade bodies.
