I've just ordered the basis of an alien pirate army from GZG (using the awesome Alien Merc figures), and I'd really like to have some sort of bike involved. Obviously this'll involve a bit of conversion work to riders, but so far none of the bikes I have seen really grab me. Apart from GZG, ACP and CMG, what options are there for bikes? Don't even need to be jet bikes per se, I'll convert things if I have to. And SF chopper sort of look'd be nice, but not mandatory. I'll consider anything.

I think those 3 wheel trikes from GZG would work for the Alien Mercs - with some conversion.

It'd take a fair amount of work. The theme for the army is that EVERYTHING is Grav or VTOL to represent it all being landed from space for every battle before dusting off back to the mother ship. Aline space pirates don't like to be dirtside!
Are the NAC riders separate pieces? That'd help a lot with conversion work. I've looked at ww2 bikes, but they all seem to have integral riders.

Yep the riders are separate and the wheel are as well so you could use the separate V15-ACC11
Grav Repulsor Lift Pads (small x 8) instead of wheels. It would look very different and would be a good project.

This is starting to look like a go-er.
I'm more inclined to attach the wheels vertically as some sort of repulsor coil than use grav plates, and add a jet engine under the back made from some sort of plastic tube.
My esteemed opponent suggested looking at Micro Machines star wars toys as well, so it's of to eBay for me.

Since this is the trade section... I have two of the GZG NI Grav bikes new in the bag. I can offer them for a trade or cheap.

PM dispatched with the utmost haste.
I've given up on the idea of using Micro Machines, and I've decided to go with the GZG trikes and some hefty conversion work.
Heck, I'd end up converting things anyway... I have trouble with NOT converting things.

I was thinking about getting some jet bikes as well, cause I intend not to use grav technology. Hope you'll update us with the results.
ps. didn't know that those trikes comes with wheels detached.
maybe it would be possible to glue them sideways, and make some details with green stuff. how does those repulsors look like? there is no image on GZG website.

GZG's repulsors are flat plates as seen on their low tech grav vehicles (the gun sled etc.)

Would the Khurasan Felid Baron's Sons grav-bike riders fit the bill?  |
