HO and Matchbox!

I want to share some Matchbox findings with you, suitable for 15mm Moderns, Zombies and near future Sci-Fi

ese are ultra cheap 1:87 scale Moder Railroad cars. You may be familiar with thouse cars.
Comparison shot with Rebel Minis Earth Force Marine

Matchbox bulldozer. I bought it a year ago. This vehicle will fit well 15mm sci-fi outposts!


Small Matchbox bulldozer, bought in Target for about a week ago! Fits 15mm scale very well


Another Matchbox truck. Not sure about it scale. It looks big camparing to HO car.

But comparing to just only 15mm figure it looks well. At leas its cabinlooks perfectly for 15mm figure.....

My new wargame terrain tile! Very pic Heavy!

CLICK TO ENLARGE

I made 1 foot Terrain tile with Crescent Cliff (for sci-fi and fantasy).
Made with cork tile glued to custom cutted MDF. The result: hard to damage, lightweight, dont warp!

Grass is Hornby green grass flock with mix of 4 types of Wodland Scenic flock. Bushes are Woodland Scenic. Cliff was made from insulation foam and painted with cheap acrylics. (Main colour is grey, heavy drubrush of light grey, light drybrush of white)

I placed some 15mm minis and rebased model rail fir trees for measurement purposes.

Some details of board:
