Title: Modern trail motorbike in 10mm
Post by: Sunray on 18 July 2018, 01:28:55 PM
Found the image on the Irregular FB page - sculptor Ian Kay

The image suggests it is a modern trail/scrambler motor bike.

When it gets cast up it might be useful for (a) modern special forces and (b) si fi type Mad Max games - always useful dodging zombies.  :)

Like a lot of 10mm Irregular it will probably evolve with a range of weapons and head choices  :)

Is there an image of ITA 20 (Italian dispatch rider) anywhere ?

Thanks Nobby. I see the basic sculpt is now up on the Irregular website.  Ian (the designer), has a habit of photographing items on his bench that are still "work in progress" so it will be interesting to watch the gestation and see what period/uniform /weapons  it ends up with.

Speaking of work in progress, I bought a couple of burnt out houses from Leon, and with plastic card and Irregular doors, windows and chimney bits will attempt a scratch of an undamaged house which will sit snugly on the ruin base. 

A dice roll +1 and bingo - the ruin is all that remains.   :)

As predicted, the 10mm modern motorbike sculpt has continued to evolve- it now boasts two variants.

1.  Modern type rider astride bike

2.  A pillion passenger with an RPG-7 !    :)

This has potential for a whole range of proxy use way  beyond bush wars- I see deployment  as special forces, terrorists, and even futuristic urban war games-  these sculpts would work well with the Korean range figures in a futuristic skirmishes. 

Its the sort of eclectic sculpt that only Irregular would do.

Wow, you are right Andy !   :-bd  Instant coffee.  Ian Kay is a legend in the annals of wargame figures.  I don't know of any one man band sculptor (although a few others like Brian Gregory  have also had a hand in Irregular ) who has such a range from 2mm to 75mm ! And has stayed in the business.   I can see these hairy bikers grace a few games.

Glad I could be of service
