Where to find 15mm cars for 15mm modern city zombie/vampire/werewolf games? Also is there are any 15mm modern city terrain pieces?
I am asking this because I saw great terrain and cars on 15mm Rebel Minis Zombie section.
-
Hi, Fjodin. I think some of the terrain from the Rebel minis site you're referring to is H/O scale model RR buildings. I have the garage pictured in the "15mm Zombies Assortment 2" picture and 15mm Hunter's Pack. Maybe check ebay in Australia. H/o buildings are pretty cheap on ebay in the States.

OK. I'll try to make a H/O scale research :)
-
Can I use Worldworks Games woads for 15mm or do I need scale them down a bit?
-
I scaled my WorldWorks stuff down to 50% for all of my 15mm modern. Works okay for me and saves a lot of time paper and ink.

Some "1/64" scale Matchbox type trucks and other vehicles are really closer to 1/100 (especially the trucks)
You have to just go and check them out at discount stores, with a 15mm mini as a comparison (when people look at you like your crazy, just say "What are you looking at, Bozo?" :D )

You can get 1/87 or HO model railway scenery, including cars, dirt cheap on ebay. Bulk suppliers based in Hong Kong. Usually free international shipping. Look great with 15mm.
eg http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/100x-Building-Train-Layout-Set-HO-Scale-1-87-Model-Car-/270593118612?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item3f009b5194
but there are others. You can get street lights and trees as well, all very cheap.

I want to say thanks to all who helped!

Are you going to update us on what you found?
BTW, the Matchbox "Desert" series has two trucks that are about exact for 15mm scale, and cost only 99 cent!

I have an unpainted 15mm in a pocket of my wallet just for this purpose... Pretty sad huh...
My wife normally just walks away :D

It's a pretty flat type of pose. He's an 15mm Essex ACW Officer on foot. I often forget he's there, poor chap :D

I've ordered 20 1\87 cars on ebay :) Really cheap.
Also I am extracting all textures from Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines to make some paper buildings/roads
I\ll post some photos and textures here soon.

LINK PLEASE!!!!!!!

Why certainly. These are good for a modern zombie vehicle, especially if you beef it up, with barb wire, weapons and such:

They are PERFECT matches for 15mm figures.
( 98 cents at Wal mart, too)
I'm looking for a "White 500" dump truck, so i can make it into a "scoop" from "Soylent Green" :D
-
Soylent Green, huh?
Might be a neat idea for a game... If it was in 28mm Smokie... lol

Any scale.
I built a 1/35 model of the "Scoops" once (found a model of the White truck)
Need Charlton Heston and Edward G Robinson figures, though.
UPDATE: Had to run to K Mart, to pick up 20lb test Flourocarbon fishing leader (EXPENSIVE! $23 for 25 yards!!! >:( ) Saw the matchcbox "Medieval" cars set, has four out of the five trucks in the pack at around 1/96 scale, and very neat!!!!!
Fjodin, this set is all you!
