looking for modern post 1960 28mm scale civilian motorbikers
« on: April 20, 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'm afraid I'm going to say have a look at the Hot Wheels/Matchbox range of Die-cast?

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.

RAFM have motorcycle cops with sidecar, which could be turned into bikers with a little conversion or head swap.

West Wind horror have some bikers, standing without motorcycle.

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

Google 1:43 scale Harley-Davidson die caste motorcycles.  They come in a box of 4 but there are probably singles available out there as well.

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.

Wargames Factory are rumoured to be doing a plastic biker kit so it might be worth holding on for a bit if you can.
