Some cool stuff from the new Matchbox Jurrasic World releases suitable for zombies or post-apoc.

The Armored Truck especially. Have amassed quite a few of those for 20mm stuff. The armored bus is more small 15ish but would make for a great mobile command post.

I've been picking up a few Matchbox for use with my 15mm sci-fi project, but I haven't seen that armored truck before. I'll have to track down some of those!

Hmm, Ive never really stopped to wonder, 'what IS the scale of Matchbox? Do they work that well w/ 15mm? I would think 20mm figs would be too large for them.

The Armored Truck, excellent. If you have a 'compound/base', it could be a great patrol, survivor 'S & R' vehicle.
As to the RV, as a CP obviously, but a cpl could even be used (little custom work -weathering, varied paint scheme) could be part of a Apoc survivor convoy.

Scale varies very much by model in the Matchbox world, some are 1/64, others 1/87 and 1/100. Some are in between at 1/72 and 1/76…….all very much in the eye of the beholder, if it looks right to for it.
