Playmobil 1/18 (not) bicycle

Ok, as some of you know several Playmobil items work pretty well with 1/18 XD. So when was in Tuesday morning and saw a huge pile of Playmobil bicycles for $2.50 each I was pretty excited.

Unfortunately, they're a bit on the small side. Guess you could say it's a kids bicycle or something but the idea of a german infantry scout riding to war on this puppy just ain't gonna happen.

Hopefully these pictures will save someone a few bucks.

maybe a circus could be passing thru the town! 1/18 old stlye bicycle would certainly sell well on this forum.

the best idea for a bike i've found is to get a 1/18 Maisto 1903 (or something like that) Harley and convert it. It's really not much more than a bicycle with a motor strapped to it.

There is a Jurassic Park III figure of a little boy that actually works out well with the 1:18 scale XD figures and this Playmobil bicycle.

Good call on the Harley. Have you tried it or just some thoughts/considerations? It looked about right with some trimming so I nabbed one.

Will post some WIP pics when it arrives.

planned but i havent got around to it yet. I did a 'do diligence' on it though at i think it's a pretty realistic project....even if you just use the wheels, seat, handle bars etc and scratch build the frame.
