I have used alot of Models from various Manufactures for my 15mm Science Fiction Factions The Following are some of the Companies I have Models from. Rocco Mini Tanks With Most Modern 15mm Figures being between 1/97 to 1/92 I have Found that A lot of the 1/87 Scale Rocco Vehicles work very well with them. In Addition if you watch e-Bay for them you can sometimes get them for next to nothing. I Have around 70 various Vehicles & paid an average of $3.25 for each of them & have used some stock or with very little modification & they look pretty good with my models. Boley Mini Tanks are more hit or miss in size but everything I have purchased of this manufacturer's Models have been useable even if I have to go up a weight class. Finally some 1/72 & 1/76 can be used as heavy vehicles. Some of the Die Cast Tanks from Many Manufacturers work Either as Close to Scale or worst Case as Heavy Vehicle. Match Box, Corgi, Zylmex, are just few of the companies I have Used. Bellow Are 3 Links for Scale Comparison of Some of the Vehicles I am using for Gaming Sci Fi in 15mm.

I think you could be onto something, a section for this type of thing with suggestions and pics (with permission of course) and useful addresses/links to help 15mm scifi gamers get hold of stuff they would normally not think of.

I Got Over 90% of all these Models of e-Bay. Look up Mini Tank Lots or a specific Company lots, I found that to be the best way to find good deals for the money you spend. Always be patient you'll get more Bang for your Buck ( I actually got 5 Pounds of Military Tanks & Assorted Vehicles for Around $25 or $30 US Including Shipping & about a 1/4of them were really cheap Plastic toys but I ended up with at Least 20 or 25 Good Models that I am Currently Using All but 1 my Boley Mini Tanks & 6 or 7 of the Die Cast Vehicles + 12 Usable Army-men Tanks Came From this Lot Not Including all the Bits I Cut of the other Models. By Buying Multiple Small lots at the end of the Auction Time for Just Above Minimum Bid & 1 Large Lot I got All 70 Rocco Mini Tank Vehicles for a little over $200 U.S. including shipping If I remember right.
