I think you will find that the German bike was a completely different design ;)

Please note, that the fellow at the back is a veteran cyclist (possibly an instuctor)....he has trousers tucked into his boots to avoid them getting caught in the chain.

I have just taken delivery of a pack of of the Tommies in soft cap and brodie helmets. Won't get chance to paint them for a few weeks.... I feel some Yeomanry cyclists in the pipeline, but I can say that they are jolly nice figures. More suited to mix with Foundry and Woodbines rather than with GWMs, Renegades, or Brigade Games in my humble opinion. I'd like to know the name of the sculptor if anyone has the know. I hope they add to to this very small range.

Here is one I painted up this weekend. A couple of hours spare yesterday so this is a bit of a rush job from start to finish but it gives an idea of what they come out like with a slap of paint on them.

Really nice work for a "rush job" Over Open Sites  :-* This really makes me reconsider these minis.

Lovely work as always Mark.
