1/35 Motorbike Riders

No probs, no rush for them!

I got a reply back from Balaton Model who do the Izh Jupiter, unfortunately the don't do the figure separately.  Shame, it's a lovely figure.  So that's out the window unless anyone's got a pressing need for an Izh Jupiter and willing to go splits?

Mossie, I've just realized the old Italeri 1/35 US Marines have a couple of figures with trousers out over their boots - i.e. not bloused into the leggings.

And the figure from their old M4A1 76mm Sherman is the same. Bottom Right, the oval-shaped parts are the shoes that attach to the bottoms of the trousers:

May be a start for your needs?

Might be useful, thank you.  I think a conversion is going to have to be the way.

I have found one last figure that's almost plug and play, the parachute looks like it comes separately so might work.  It's a flight jacket rather than a bikers one, I could probably get away with it or simply modify the collar.  I don't like the umbilical thing on the head, but I'd probably hide it with a helmet anyway.

Sounds like you're going to have fun, anyway...
Nothing wrong with cobbling something together from a variety of parts.

Here's Master Box's figure range. Might be something of use in there:

I need to get around to finding a photo hosting site and post a picture of Boris Karloff!

Some of the Master Box sets are interesting.  I'd discounted the the German riders at first but revisiting them after your post, I  realise the coat tails come separately so could be trimmed or left off. I quite like the guys pushing, it's got a gritty sense of reality.  I'm not sure if it'd work for my project, it's a bit bigger than your common or garden motorbike.  The motorcycle troop team might be better.

Scroll down quite a bit Simon, there's one called 'zombie' which has a girl on a motorcycle about to shoot a zombie

I've checked her out (! ), unfortunately her mould is wrapped up with her scarf so modifying her head in line with what I'm looking for may be difficult.  Saying that, if I relaxed my vision a bit she could work.
