Vehicle help and recommendations (Heroic 28mmish scale)!

[Legionnaire]

I wanted to have some options, both for scatter and functional vehicles in a zombie apocalypse style gaming. Cars/ vans/ trucks are not a problem, plenty of 1/43 scale options out there.

The problem (maybe it's just bad search-fu ) are motorcycles, bicycles, atv's, lorries/ articulated lorries and such.

I did find some online railway resources for motorcycles/ bicycles, but they seemed VERY expensive and didn't look like what I was after (more classic 1950's than modern road bikes/ off road etc).

I'm in the UK so if someone could point me in a direction of interest, I'd be much obliged.

Thank you,

Legionnaire.

Matchbox also has some blisters with bikes (instead of cars) that look OK.

Eureka Miniatures has bicycles, hidden away in the Pax Limpopo section of the collection:

The Pixar Cars toys included some trucks, such as this one.  They are closer to 1/56 than 1/43 in size, but for oversized vehicles that might not matter as much.  You can sometimes find them cheap at thrift shops.


Siku diecast has a wide range of modern vehicles in a few scales but for brand new you will be paying a premium!  siku.de

Crooked Dice have three bikers

Not a site I've used, but https://www.bdpricemodelstoys.co.uk/toy-die-cast/military has some 1/48 trucks and other things.

I have a bunch of 1/48 Motor Zone trucks that I bought years ago. There are some on Amazon UK, so worth a look. I picked up a Poundland branded one in Poundland (what are the odds!). It seems quite fitting to use in a post apoc setting

The toy shelf at ASDA is also worth a look, as I have seen quite a few things there that would be useful.

I have some Hotwheels motorcycles and other odds and ends, but they have been grabbed as and when I've spotted them over a number of years.

I can't see Warlord's Project-Z biker sprue on their site, but you can probably find it on ebay

These may be worth a look?

HLBS are always worth a look. Dirt bike and quads. I have some of the dirt bikes and they're great.

Eureka also do quad bikes in their modern range.

I still want them to do a BAOR rider for it (in use in 1987 exercises).

Thank you everyone for the shared tips! I've had a look at your plethora of offerings and I will get a handful of other vehicles (bicycles and motorcycles/ quad bikes are higher up on the priority list).

I am going to have those doing double duty in both Last Days (no cars but bicycles/ motorcycles and horses are possible options) and County Roads Z (vehicles comes in Tiers 1-4, and depending on that it determines how many passengers and how much gear you can load up).

And of course, as scatter in those settings .

There's an Academy 1/48 Hughes 500 kit that comes with a motorbike. It's packaged as a California Highway Patrol chopper and a Kawasaki 1000 Police bike. The bike by itself is an exquisite little model and given that the chopper and bike retail from between $15 and $19AUD locally, it's worth it for the bike alone. I'm sure you can find some use for the helicopter.

That's a great find and tip! Thank you very much Carlos Marighela! I'm sure a crashed helicopter will look excellent on the table as well.

I have now ordered that kit  . £11.99 off Ebay, p&p included so can't argue with that price. I just hope it won't be a very fiddly kit, as I've hardly put any models together, apart from  some plastic/ resin figures.
