Hi all,
I'm looking to add some 15mm civilian cars to my terrain, but it looks like North Star has taken down their range? Anyone know any alternatives selling from Europe/UK? I've found some manufacturers on TMP, but the shipping from the US is killer.
best regards,
Mikkel

Parked or burnt-out wrecks?
Cars or commercial vehicles?
If it's just wrecks have you tried scouting the local Poundland/Euro-store or charity shops for cheap toys that look about right and can be vandalised without remorse.

There are plenty of 'matchbox' diecasts that work well with 15mm figures.

I should have specified: parked vehicles, from around the 70’s and 80’s

Model railway accessories in TT might be worth a look.

Boxy 60s and 70s cars will be hard to find. More roundy later type cars can be had in bulk:
