A matter of scale, pt 2

A few of the Lledo cars that I have been waiting on have arrived in the mail over the last couple of days, and I can say they are a better match for 25-28mm gaming that Matchbox MoY cars from the previous entry. The last vehicle to come in the mail also came with Lledo's plastic people, so I have shot one of them with the various figs from other lines for a sze comparison.

A matter of scale

In an upcoming pulp campaign, I thought it would be interesting to include some scenery like automobiles into the mix. There are a few miniature makers that produce their own that come with a hefty pricetag... more than I wanted to spend anyway. Remembering that "O" scale railroad scenery can be comparable to 25mm miniatures, I started digging around. Three lines of products came to light. Matchbox "Models of Yesteryear", Ertl, & Lledo "days gone"

Below is a 1930 Packard Victoria by Matchbox & a 1930 Chevy delivery truck from Ertl with copplestone figures for comparison.



Each vehicle cost about 5.00 + shipping
