Hello,

I am looking for particular vehicles that work well with 15mm figures (specifically Rebel Minis) for an urban board. I am "mostly" looking for regular civilian vehicles.

Thus far, I seen posts about…
Matchbox: Desert Thunder, M1 Abrams, and the Armored Response Vehicle.
I'm thinking that their VW bus looks good too, but such things are hard to tell online.

If you are aware of others, please post them here.

I used a bunch of cheap 1:87 or HO scale vehicles from various online stores. I find they do well with 15mm. Here are some examples:

Black truck is 1:87, other is 15mm Peter Pig:

What he said. I give them a matt spray and maybe a sandy dry brush and off you go. I pick up the odd vehicle set from pound shops well.

Seemed like the Peter Pig truck is just too small even for his own 15s. :/ At least…'twas my reaction when I got one. That picture backs up the thought.

Guess that'd be the difference say, between a 1980's vintage Ford pickup, and a 2000's vintage Toyota….. I hit my head almost every time I get into our Camry sedan. If I was a 15mm figure, it would look too small next to me (1.8m x 85kg).
