I have to admit that I've never heard of 1/87th scale before, but that's a smart diorama with some nice details and 'set scenes'.

The photos are great too, with the camera angles and perspectives really bringing the diorama to life. Well done.

Looks pretty good to me i hope i can find similar vehicles in 1/72 for my future build.

I always thought it would be much easier to find decent vehicles in 1/72 than in 1/87, but i am not quiet familiar with the 1/72 stuff

 

Cheers

Its H0 scale, used for model trains and 00 scale is 1/76th You can "get away" with them with 1/72nd scale, a lot of trackside buildings,wills buildings and Ratio polysheets with bricks,corrugated iron etc. and vehicles are 1/76th ( 00). Obviously 00 scale is closer.

 

I've bought a few of the RAF Commer Karrier Bantams (flat tops and drop sides) by Base models, Oxford models are another company. There is a big range,several Body styles of Bedford TKs, RLs go and google Base Models or search on ebay. Prefer Base to Oxford though.

 

Heres an Oxford truck 1/76th
