Thanks! I’ve been waiting for this release ⏰ ... ready to pull the trigger on a purchase! I have a large street scene in need of a base and I’m just too lazy to do the whole cobblestone scratch-build thing. Having used MiniArt bases in the past, I’m hoping that a couple of these might just do the trick.

Why not buy one and some RTV rubber and cast your own in plaster or resin ?
(cobblestone roads for a life time of modeling)

Call it stimulating the economy. And like I said ... I'm lazy and would rather spend the time building vehicles and figures.

These bases are quite affordable, good looking and almost ready to paint. I have used only one but in my opinion they are worth the cost.

Varanusk, you hit the nail on the head. they are affordable and diorama results are over the top! Plus so many model Kits to build and so little time. lets rate this kit , I give it a ten.

Slight thread hijacking - has anyone ever used the Hansa System paved panels and building kits? They look pretty labor intensive as the buildings are built brick by brick. http://hansasystemsusa.com/kits

The bases make doing your own street scene very easy.
