I am working on a diorama of the Duluth ship canal. Odd scale came about because it eventually will be a coffee table. I was able to find figures because there is a new japanese model railroad scale close to that, but the company does not yet make vehicles, and I want a bunch in the scene. I occasionally do resin casting, but that is my last resort- making a few patterns and doing the resin work.
Anyone know of any vehicles close to 1:500 scale? Want cars, vans, maybe a couple of light trucks. BTW, already completed the ship, the Ryerson, that will be coming through the canal. Working on the lift bridge- that is a LOT of work!

I don't really know of anyone who makes 1/500 scale vehicles.
Good luck. Hope you find some.
Herpa makes several sets of 1/500 vehicles as accessories to their 1/500 airliner collection. Check Walthers.com, item number 326-519812; it's shown as being currently in stock.

Well, I have tried and tried without success to embed a couple of photos. In the meantime, check out a couple of photos on the modeling page of my web site;

Don't know why I cannot embed these photos in a post here. Also, I seem to have screwed up the above page today adding the canal photos :-(
Ordered those Herpa vehicles from Walthers, that Greg recommended. Just what I need! Thanks.
Didn't Fujimi just realease the Yamato in 500 scale? Perfect!
OK I'll quietly leave before someone hit me LOL
