NanoSpeed, the new MicroMachine scale

[LokRobster]

For those that like 3D models on the original CW scale, check out your local Wal-Mart for NanoSpeed cars. They're by a Canadian company, Spin Master LTD; about $1.50 per car. They are distorted and a little oversized, but represent a 1" x 1/2" fairly well.

The cars are spring motorized and zip around crazy fast, but I'm betting some of y'all that like MM-scale might enjoy basing and using these.

I posted a couple of photos in my Minis folder : https://picasaweb.google.com/1089163...9/CarWarsMinis

I haven't converted any with tiny weapons yet :)

Ha, just saw these at Target! I was thinking the samething that they'd be close to MM, I'm glad there closer to CW scale.

I will check them out. I used micromachines as soon as I found them. They are really close to CW scale.

Matchbox/Hot Wheels sized vehicles is my mainstay, and translates to 3X scale.

For the summertime gaming conventions, I also have a set of 12X scale cars and scenery to go with it.

It makes for a show stopper of a game.

Drive offensively.

I picked up a pack of Nano Speed cars today. They are indeed not quite realistic in proportions but they are close to the 1" x 1/2" classic Car Wars scale. And I believe they have been enchanted by the Canadian warlocks who conjured them... that is the only explanation as to why a man my age is having this much fun with the little bastards!

Speaking about MM-Scale...

Now that MicroMachines are non existent... What is their equivalent? :/

Cars at around that size come back from time to time: Hot Wheels Atomix, Speedeez, etc. I bought some fairly recently from Toys 'R Us, but I'm not remembering the brand name right now.

Most of ours came from larger lots on eBay.
