The Bentley is excellent. I found a nice one on a children's bazaar for 0.50 Euros. IMHO the perfect mount for a British Pulp hero and his trustworthy sidekick/damsel. And while looking at the bottom of it, I discovered that it's made in England. How apt.
TANK POLO? God, how our gardener hated that game!

Right, got them (the ebay ones), compared them to my 1/48 tamiya citroen traction 11cv and they are about the same size, which means they are indeed 1/50 scale, as advertised. I got 7 completely different models, which should make a nice addition to the table.

Here's a picture of the ones I mentioned, with a copplestone and Pulp figures mini for scale reference. I think they look about right and not too small or oversized:



Test fit with an unpainted BAM figure:

Is that 1907 Rolls Royce done in 1/50? It looks a bit small. I'm just curious as I'd like to convert a Silver Ghost into this one:

The conversion should be quite easy (with a motor-tool...) but I am not sure which one to take: Either Lledo or Matchbox?

It's the same scale as the others, so I'd say yes. It probably just looks smaller because of the size of the chevrolet van...
