15mm or HO Scale Modern Vending Machines.
I like scenery and nearly as much as the models I paint, these were listed as HO scale (1:87) but I think they work fine for 15mm (1:100) and ten in a pack.
A little rough but nice all the same and I've include a couple of scale pictures....
I find that the slightly oversized (in scale) nature of HO compared to 15mm helps make things look more substantial. Vehicles look like they can be hunkered down in, machines and the like look like they can be hidden behind, etc...
And as to your question on cameras for miniatures, any of those three compact cameras i recommended would do, although i doubt that there'll be a significant difference with your current setup. :)
These look really good.... but you better paint a little guy reaching up into the vending machine to get the chips that didn't fall down all the way... you know keep it authentic!
Keep the Coke ones, toss the others. In the future, everyone will have accepted the wholesome goodness that is Coca-Cola and have rejected all the poor imitations...and accept no substitutes.
Those are awesome! I need one for my desk. Maybe two.
ReplyDeleteThey look perfect! Nice that you have so many of them too! Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteNice addition
ReplyDeleteThose are really cool. I think I would apply a real thin wash to them just to dull them down a bit, but that's about it. Nice find!
ReplyDeleteJust TOO cute! Love em.
ReplyDeleteThese look pretty cute and awesome . Love the diet come, me no Pepsi. ;)
ReplyDeleteperfect for hiding behind while blasting zombies
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the scene in the movie Dr Strangelove where the guy shoots up the coke machine to get coins for the phone!
ReplyDeleteCoke and Pepsi in the same palace, Gen. Fran?

ReplyDeleteThis was a GREAT find, and looks fantastic!
These amuse me. Can grabbing a refreshment be valuable to a game? I imagine it can be made to be that way but.. does it happen?
ReplyDeleteSometimes but more for the visual look for my table.
DeletePretty cool. Too bad there isn't a Nuka Cola machine.
ReplyDeleteLike them.
ReplyDeleteI never knew these things existed, but they look very cool. Any pastry machines or ice cream machines in existence at this size?
ReplyDeleteyou've certainly canned this lot ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooking good Fran. Did you print labels for the front?
ReplyDeleteNicely done, give me an Orangina please!
ReplyDeleteGreat find and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThey look just the job, the scale seems ok to me.
ReplyDeleteGreat machines!
ReplyDeleteThey look real sweet Angry, they also seem to scale well aswell.
ReplyDeleteI like them.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff there, adds a lot to scenery.
ReplyDeleteThat looks pretty cool, not really good for cover though.
ReplyDeleteI think that size fits the scale very well.
ReplyDeleteWhoever painted those did a pretty good job. They're rather detailed considering how small they are. I think they fit the scale quite well too.
ReplyDeleteThey look great, stuff like that add a lot of character and realism to a gaming table.
ReplyDeleteThey look great Fran!
ReplyDeleteThey're great.
ReplyDeleteVery cool Fran.
ReplyDeleteThose look great
ReplyDeleteWOAh these are awesome!!! I want a mini can to come out LOL
ReplyDeleteI know someone had a bunch of vending machines up on Shapeways which you could buy. Pretty sure they were scaled for 15mm.
ReplyDeletethese look great Fran :)
Totally impressed. Not sure if I have the small change for that scale however!
ReplyDeleteAwesome find....gotta get my hands on some of those.
ReplyDelete;)
those are cool... little calories for those who are watching their weight.

ReplyDeleteAnd as to your question on cameras for miniatures, any of those three compact cameras i recommended would do, although i doubt that there'll be a significant difference with your current setup. :)
Those look great, Fran. And thanks for posting the link to the vendor.
ReplyDeletethose are so cute (that must be the first usage of "cute" at your blog, Lurk :)))
ReplyDeleteI want me a tiny coke. Who has some tiny quarters?
ReplyDeleteThey look great mate
ReplyDeleteWould not drink from them, but awesome use of them for scenary
ReplyDeleteThose are really cool little pieces and sure do add to the atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
They even make miniatures of vending machines? Now I've seen everything. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteVery nice gitface, I'm missing you too!!! NOT!
ReplyDeletePerfect elements for any game. A great idea.
ReplyDeleteSince you've gotten back into zombies I've been meaning to ask you if you have your own Mayhem City. If you do can you post pics of it?
ReplyDeleteSoon, very soon!
DeleteLook about right to me, your take on scenery makes a refreshing change ;-)
ReplyDeleteIan
They look great and will look good on any street mall or odern battlefield.
ReplyDeleteThese look really good.... but you better paint a little guy reaching up into the vending machine to get the chips that didn't fall down all the way... you know keep it authentic!
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely precious!
ReplyDeleteDo the mini vending machines sell mini drinks?
ReplyDeleteCool find, they work well!
ReplyDeleteThose are cute. Nice touch!
ReplyDeletenice collection. I guess these could be useful in a game either as a way to get your energy back or as a hidden bomb
ReplyDeleteKeep the Coke ones, toss the others. In the future, everyone will have accepted the wholesome goodness that is Coca-Cola and have rejected all the poor imitations...and accept no substitutes.
ReplyDeleteAll hail Coca Cola!
DeleteSweet! RC colas my favourite!
ReplyDeletethat is quite awesome. even though I'm not sure why you would need them.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection.Those are really very awesome.
