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

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.

Mark.
Ahh -right. Makes complete sense.

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 😊

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.

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)
