Title: Die cast vehicle compatability
Post by: Chris Abbey on April 09, 2015, 05:10:37 PM: Sorry, if this has been done to death before, but we do need to collect some wheels for the wide range of genres we play Pulp Alley in.
Is 1/48 the scale to go for? or is their another scale that works better for 28mm figures on bases?

Cheers,

Chris

Me I go with LR scale! (Looks Right) As long as you don't mix 2 of the same vehicle in wildly different scales.
Say 1/43rd with 1/50th? Nobody will really notice. (I carry a figure with me if I go to a toy fair or model show! Handy by eye scaling tool) ;)

The trouble is you can't then mix them with the Lledo range as they look too small against the Matchbox vehicles. Not all these vehicles are to scale with each other either, just to help matters!

HAVE FUN

Also some 1960s stuff for spy gaming, and contemporary military, emergency, and police vehicles for...I'm not sure yet.

Mostly Disney 1/50 'cars' with the eyes painted out, and M2 1/64 Cars (the larger ones look okay; nice trucks), Tonka strike force, a couple of batmobiles....
