Hi,
I need to add some more cars for All Out War and have been looking through my collection.
I got the car on the right cheap from Antenocitis, it should be lying on its side.

It looks too big.
Spectre vehicles are too small.

The TWD saloon is bigger than the SUV.
The same is rue of the Crooked Dice Land Rover.

So does anyone know if there are similar sized vehicles available?
Thanks in advance.

They look probably 1/55th scale to me. Check a Siku vehicle for comparison.

Here I have TWD pickups next to some 1:43 diecast pickups. They are pretty much the same size.

I wouldn't have any problem using any of your stuff in the first picture together. As long as you're not massively hung up on a particular manufacturer's model of car (tiny Rolls Royces or massive Mini Coopers) then looking along the street there's that kind of variance between different cars.

I use some pull back diecast cars that you can find here in the U.S. at Walmart and CVS stores. They are about 4 to 6 dollars each. Some of them have slightly off scale, but overall they are cheap and there is a pretty nice selection.

Crooked Dice and Spectre (and Empress) are tagged as 1/50.
For a comparison of 1/56 and 1/50 scale, here are a 1/50 Empress Jeep and a Warlord and Rubicon Jeep (1/56).

Thanks. I was not sure on the relative sizes.
@Dr Zombie - Nice match on the 1/43 pick ups.
I have checked the dimensions of the Antenocitis current range and they look like 1/43.

Any idea if the Crooke Dice Interceptor is of a similar size?

1/43rd, if not larger. Look at Antenocitis Workshop, they've done a recent range of vehicles, with a good few damaged and post-apocalyptic themed ones.

*Edit, someone already suggested them. Oh well. Outside of 1/43rd scale diecasts, those make the most sense. And aren't too expensive.

Thanks Wyrmalia. I remember you mentioning your Antenocitis technicals being larger than the Spectre/Empress ones.
-
And if anyone is interested, they have a sale on.

With TWD's cars being plastic, unless you're repainting the diecasts, resin vehicles would blend in better with them. And those Antenocitis vehicles already have a few wrecked ones which would fit the setting. I don't remember there being any issues with assembly or casting defects.
