Well, that sounds interesting - unfortunately, a company names 'Irregular' is not so easy to find via Google - do you have a link? And (to tell the truth) I don't mean the advert link you have as a sig... ;)

PS: Whoops, sorry, a bit more work found these here: http://www.irregularminiatures.co.uk/...

Too bad the N scale cars are just over 1 inch. I think I would work with them and make them fit. Maybe look for small cars and model those. There is such a massive selection for N-scale stuff. I recently was in a store that had a good sized city in N-scale setup for a model railroad. It had cars, trucks small and large. I couldn't stop thinking about running a Car Wars game on it.

Check out Tomytec. They have a massive range.

I can't remember the name of the company now, but there's a place which has
1/200-scale car models for architectural modeling use; they fit the counters.

Search "1/200 scale models", and some sources should crop up.

If you are looking for vehicles keep your eye out on Ebay for World's Smallest Matchbox. I don't know too much about them, but I just found a reference to them from a long term CW player.
There is joker selling them for a ton of money on Ebay, but I just looked up an old auction and a few of them were going for a few dollars If you keep your eye out you may find them from time to time.

I've got about 20 of the original car wars metal miniatures. I wish I had more though, I got one stinking pickup.. at least I have the pickup. I have no idea how to get more. Making casts I guess, but I don't want to screw up my paintjobs :-(

I didn't see the civilian vehicles at the irregular website, I looked on the 6mm page, did i miss something, it looks all military?

Someone needs to post some pictures of the old CW miniatures. I've never seen them and will probably never see them in real life.

Actually, good question: not only would we likethe 'normal' photo from about 45° up, showing them from the front right, but a photo taken directly from above would be useful in this case: so we could print this out and use these images for counters :)

Klaus

PS: Oh, and the location of the images: simply put them up on the web somewhere (for example, Google allows you to upload images and make them public), and just post the link here.
