Hi all,
This is basically the old Polish City Building, with a new section of cobblestone. Good to have, but when you have the earlier release (like me), this one seems a bit unneccesary.
For what it's worth.

I hope this packaging of earlier kits doesn't become a trend. I'd hate for them to lose the egde they've had so far.

hi
i like the look of this one but the base doesn't look very big, looks like it will only take a small vehical and/or a few figures. it would be better with a bigger base, so it could take a large tank.

Only after reading your post I looked again at this and realised I too have that building it was the first vac form kit I ever attempted and I made a complete mess of it. If I see it in my LHS I will pick it up again.
Here are the dimensions of the base.
I like these ready made dio bases. I just finished making the STREET w/RUINED HOUSE,
I'll start a seperate thread on it when I take photos. I haven't decided what to put on it but it could easily accomodate a Sherman and a jeep.
Once you decide on a system to make these they go together very easily.
There is a Polish Company called TM that make similar buildings and sheets of cobblestones, Jadar stock them, Sometime I plan on using a mix of Miniart and TM buildings and cobblestone sheets to attempt a big Dio like one of Dan Capuano's.
