28mm bicycle?

[andekmcc]

hi all,

probably being a pest here with an obscure question, but here goes..

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that does a 25-28mm bicycle I've bitten the bullet and bought a troop of MM Black and Tans and am going to paint them up as troopers from the 'Scottish Horse' Cavalry reg. according to the internet they converted to cyclist mid war so i thought it would be good to stick in a few bicycles to make them look the part. The only one i've been able to find is from the foundry 'home front' range but i dont fancy buying a whole pack of figures at 11 quid just to get one bicycle! Was wondering if anyone knew whether or not someone else did one?

many thanks

Andy

The only bicycle I know in that scale is Eureka (fighting 15's in UK). It is just plain cycle.

If you need figures mounted on bicycles the next source is Britannia miniatures. They call their range as 20mm but might work somehow.

I've had the same problem wanting a WWI-era motorcycle.  I'd been eyeing the Great War British Characters pack for ever, but couldn't bring myself to buy the whole pack just for the motorcyclist.  I finally had to break down though.  I wish there were a motorcycle alone somewhere.

Scale Link do both a male and female bike in O Gauge (1/43) but I think you'd find they're far too large.

Eureka have one as part of their 28mm Vietnam range, it usually comes with the ox cart. If you ask Nic nicely he'll probably oblige.

Wargames Foundry have a selection of packs with pushbikes in'em that might suit you:

thanks everyone,

I went with the Eureka as they seemed to be one of the few that didnt involve having to buy supernumery figures.  I contacted fighting 15s and they had some in stock (the website said it would be a special order from Austrailia) so I should get them soon with any luck.

thanks again for the info.
