I have just finished a conversion on a Rebel Minis 15 MM "Ganger punk" motorcycle to be a police motorcycle for my Post Apocalyptic Law army.



The conversion involved adding the front fender, windscreen, and the saddlebags and police light at the rear. You can see the original figure here. The saddle bags were made from Pendraken T-34 fuel tanks.

Nice Terry

Very nice indeed

Great work Terry

 

Agree, another excellent conversion,Terry. Since you have added a red and blue light bar to the interceptor, might you consider adding similar lights to the cycle(s)?

Love be the idea of a Post Apoc, Ad Hoc, Big Block, Croc dock...

Thank you all for the comments.

Bill, the little thing sticking up on the back is the police light. I went by the local police force who have such and it is just blue, so that's how mine will be. On the gas tank I am hoping to have the Defense Base Force star, and on the saddle bags the letters DBP. But still waiting on the decals to arrive - as I am pretty sure my local post office started the holiday last Wednesday!!!!

Looking forward to doing these post apoc armies as they are full of opportunities.

Lemmey, sorry to say, but you're going to have to translate that for me please!

Terry

No idea, they just fitted the pattern!

Oh, but Google says it exists! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Batavia-7061291-Pipe-Jaws-2-Piece/dp/B007QTJVTY 

Lemmey,

OK, I see - Really good and I am chuckling as I type this. However, I am afraid that from now on when I play post apoc games I'm going to think about ad hoc, big bloc, croc docs, or more specifically, the guy in Mad Max 2 who was relaying the needed repairs on the truck to the guy on the wall (the guy that says "What does that mean?"), as he seems to fit the title!!!! But he is also one of my favorite characters in the movie.

Looks really good, Terry.

Lol at that clip!

Yes! A great clip and reminiscent of a visit to the local garage.

This is a pic of police cycles from where we used to live (Charlie West) that shows the red and blue cycle lights I was thinking of (of course, although these are Harleys, they are way too eurostyled for MadMax):

Bill, After I replied to your note earlier I decided to see what I was missing and yep, there they were, two police lights on either side of the headlight.  So a very good catch on your part.

I have since added them, and also the little mike coming out of his helmet.

Should start painting him tomorrow along with the rest of the army..

Terry

The motorcycle has been primed and painting begun. Was raining and overcast today so I'll try for a picture tomorrow, although I'm really still just doing pre-coats and base coats of the white areas - which  I do in multiple very thinned layers to reduce brush strokes as much as possible.

More soon,

Terry

Still not a great day for taking pictures, but then with my camera skills does it really matter!!!! Here is a picture of the motorcycle as it is as of now. please don't be too critical of it at this point as I am a believer in the old school I learned back in the early 60's from Jack Scruby - sloppy undercoat and careful overcoat. So what you are seeing is the sloppy undercoat.

More to follow,

Looking forward to seeing the end result, Terry. 

Cheers - Phil.

Nice slop!

Looks great

Take care
