Very useful sets for anybody wanting a quick but effective base for a model. This doesn´t look to be the longest base though ... might be tight for a bigger model?

Looks like a good base for an ambush type diorama.

I agree with Frank on this looking a little too short for a significantly sized vehicle. Maybe this was meant to focus on figures, which would be good for an ambush scene as suggested by Christopher?

It is 7" x 10" (roughly), so you are looking at a scout car, light tank, or even an anti-tank gun. To me it is interesting looking, with aspect on both sides with the wall and tower. I think it is a useful display.

Hi guys!
I'm not an expert myself and don't want to diminish MiniArt work, but to me the set is not convincing at all, at least from an Italian prospective.
In fact, the tiles seems way too big and out of scale and also the pattern is not correct at all. Again from an Italian prospective.
Here are some pictures I took this morning walking the streets of Milan, my city, that show clearly the different pattern en dimensions. Hope you enjoy.

look at the cigaret bud in the middle of the stones and you can figure out the size of it...
