Title: looking for modern post 1960 28mm scale civilian motorbikers
Post by: Pijlie on 20 April 2015, 07:14:56 PM: I am looking for modern post 1960 28mm scale civilian motorbikers. I know (and love) the EM4 ones and found the Roadkill motorcycle cops (OOP for as far as I now) and the Eureka SAS bikers.

I also found Ramshackle, but they were too Mad Max/GW-esque for me.

I would welcome more suggestions....

I don't know a lot about Motorbikes but I know they do several modern ones in 1/60th-1/64th scale? (They Say)

There may be earlier bikes in the ranges back catalogue!

Can't hurt to look.

West Wind horror have some bikers, standing without motorcycle.

Hot wheels are cool, but too big I'm afraid.

Post by: Pijlie on 10 May 2015, 09:11:17 PM: While he will make very nice bikes, I will still have to build/convert my own bikers.

I think I will order some more EM4 and convert those. That seems like the most economical solution in several ways.
