I found a few of these at a local Walmart and thought they would be good for post apoc or zombie games. While the scale is 1/64, they look a little too small for a lot of 25s being made today, and a little too large for the 18s, but I think you could make them work with either.

Wow! The kit-basher in me says, "Uh-la-la, Baby!" They sound like they might be perfect for 1/72 plastic Zombies, by Caesar. Neat models. Too bad I can't make use of them. Cheers!

Ooooh, I have hundreds of painted 1/72 Zombies!!! from Twilight Creations and 20mm survivors!

Great spot! Too bad they won't be coming to a Wallymart in Canada any time soon.

I'm just afraid that if I were to buy all of those I'd be hit by a sudden tornado. They do look nice and I have a bunch of 20mm zombies and survivors.

Well, it would be a small tornado at least.

Pity the roofs don't come off.

I know some guys who can take the roofs off.
I call them both "Sid".

@ stephen m – Here in Canada you can pick up a few of them at either diecastdepot.ca or yomacarmodel.ca . Generally Yoma's prices are better.

They are nice trailers. I've been eyeing a few of them for use as set dressing for games of Gaslands.

How does that scale work with 25-28mm?

IIRC, 1/72 is or close to 20mm, so a bit smaller that 25-28's.

Man I'd so love to see some of those. I had no idea anyone did 1/72 Zombies.
My 72 scale experience goes back to my Airfix days, decades ago. I had Vikings, 8th Army, US Vietnam, NVA just to name a few.

@ stephen m – I have seen those at my local wally mart (Saskatoon).

Those are great, thanks.

The only zombie game I play is Zombiecide at a buddy's. When we do a "family" game day, I bring my son and he gets his two kids involved, we always start with a scenario. So cool though they may be they won't be on my "list" any time soon. But thanks for the heads up. If my buddy wants to get further into the Zombie minis maybe he will look for something like it.
