Ever after getting interested in 15mm I've been buying up Matchbox and Hot Wheel toys that I could use for modern and near future props on the game table. I've decided to take the time and start doing a review of the ones I've found so far. It's a work in progress as I've many to add and am sure there will be new ones. Also, I'm totaly up for suggestions for this sort of thing as well. I just thought it may be useful or of interest so here is the page address.

Excellent stuff, Uncle Joe. I have some of these and even have a couple painted up. You can just make out the Bucket Tractor (or was it Tractor Bucket?) and Skidster here:
They both work perfectly in 15mm. You've inspired me to dig the others out and get them finished. |

Another big thanks. I've been collecting cop & construction & 4 wheel for dino-hunting. Plus looking for the odd Gfhostbuster & flintstone types with intention of having an interesting urban car park for demo games. I looked at stocking matchbox & selling the interesting ones at shows, but you can only buy batches, not individual codes. |

Great article. The "box scale" of these kind of toy cars means that just about anything other than regular cars and SUV's has a good chance of fitting into 15mm scale stuff. I recently bought a couple of the "Trail Tipper" toys to use in 10mm. They look nice alongside my rebased mechwarrior clix and I can see in your review a few more that might work out also. The airport Fire tanker would make a pretty neat 10mm fuel truck. |
