Piston Cup Racer Cars Fanatic Posts: 950 09/21/09 12:49:55 Super Town Builder	Tags : None I got these 1:24 oil drums and I'm a little concerned they'tr too big. I'd like to hear your opinion on the this. I've done a lot of looking and I'm thinking the drums in the movie are a bit large for 1:55. And these are 1:24 50gal not 55gal. Anyway let me know what you guys think please. Last Edited By: GotFrank 10/01/09 14:00:34. Edited 1 time.

I'll do a quick trawl and come back to you. Looking for: Vinyl Toupee (Dinoco 400), Easy Idle launcher, Orderly Pitties, Dr Mater/Burnt McQueen 4-pack, Rescue Squad Mater 4-Pack, Blowing Bubbles Mater, Skip Richter, Polly Puddlejumper.

Scroll down the page. http://www.ebobminiatures.com/products/paintball.htm They're for 28mm miniatures which approximates to 1/55 - 1/56 Looking for: Vinyl Toupee (Dinoco 400), Easy Idle launcher, Orderly Pitties, Dr Mater/Burnt McQueen 4-pack, Rescue Squad Mater 4-Pack, Blowing Bubbles Mater, Skip Richter, Polly Puddlejumper.

As I've had the thought that my little pewter Star Wars guys look like they could be to scale with the Cars stuff. On a related note anyone need six 1:24 scal oil drums? LOL

Piston Cup Racer Cars Fanatic Posts: 954 09/21/09 19:17:32 Super Town Builder	Yeah I've already ordered this set, I think they're the 28mm ones. http ://wondertrail.com/hobby-games/minature-terrain/pegasus-hobbies-terrain/peg5210-oil-drums-8pc-terrain-by-pegasus-hobbies/prod_14452.html Thanks for the hard numbers guys, that's been my major problem. I haven't seen actual measurements in the descriptions of most of this stuff.

Find some rod of the right diameter, cut to length and glue on 4 rings of wire.

Piston Cup Racer Cars Fanatic Posts: 979 10/01/09 14:16:28 Super Town Builder	I think these are just about perfect! Pegasus Hobbies item# 5210 (ask for it by name!) They were about $8 per set I got two. I may re-paint a few barrels but I do like the radiation warning ones! lol Anyway here's Mater's with the new oil drums.
