I found a bit of discussion in the archives about Jada Toys' 1/64 scale Battle Machines. Just today I happened upon some of the 1/32 scale cars, and they turned out to be a perfect fit with my 28mm stuff. See below...this truck is straight out of the box, no additional work done. It scales very well next to ol' Max here. The doors open and the rear gun traverses. A dull coat and a quick drybrush and this sucker is ready for the battlefield. Rivets, armor, guns...what's not to love?!  The best part was the price...I got 2x silver trucks for $5 USD at Walmart. I just wish I could have found some of the other models in this line...like the big rigs! Take a look at the whole selection here. You can find the 1/32 cars for $8 to $12 on ebay, which ain't terrible for what you're getting. |

The truck looks just right from that pic. I saw the cars several months back, but there were no trucks. The cars were large even by my standards (and I tend to use over sized vehicles). I know in the 1/64 range, the cars tend to be a bit out of scale with the trucks, I bet the 1/32 range is the same. I strongly recommend getting a first hand look at them before buying the cars. |

I have had no luck finding those larger scale vehicles. Walmart you say? Guess I know where I'll be lurking this weekend. |

The reduced cross country capability due to the fashionably useless ride height?    These have been dissembled and raised as far as possible. |
