Nice work!  Where did you get those bikes if I may ask?

They're from the old i-Kore VOID range; VASA Viper Wing as far as I recall.

Currently produced by Scotia Grendel, although their site appears to be down right now. Great figures, and a wonderful paintjob there V :)

I thought as much but I wasn't sure.

Site OK, but they only have the Viper Wing Sgt. and the Viper Wing Bike with Banners - no Viper Wing Section...  :-I

Edit: But maybe the troopers are the latter with the banners removed - I cannot tell, as there's no image of it...?

Oh no no, the Viper with the Banners is the very ill-fated cross-country version they tried to push in their dying days. They're, IMO, quite horrible. I was only able to find a small picture of it:

It's a grand shame, because those bikes do look the business for near-future/cyberpunk games. They've got that Akira vibe going for them. Hope they get the others repainted. Oh, and the - erh - Leander & Something bike, with a chaingun sidecar lol

I emailed the scotia Grendel people one, they will cast up other things from the range which were not released as of yet if you ask them.

Sadly never followed up on the order since at that point I found the model cheap on ebay. Will however still honor them once with an insane order of terrain :)
Why aim for gold if you can get lead?
