A nice scene in 1/35 without anything military in it at all. There looks to be room on the base for a civilian car in addition.

Or any number of strolling soldier sets from any nationality that was in Germany into the '50s. Snowdrops or Constabulary maybe?

Is this the "Twilight Zone" thread? I'm smiling and waving but I think the ship is drifting further away from reality. Back to reality....I wonder what the MSRP is going to be. This is a really neat idea of a Diorama in a box. Heller used to do things like that. They'd put a few of their figure and vehicle kits together in a box and Voila! If this set is reasonably priced I will get it.

They're coming to take me away ha ha....the nice young men in their funny white coats are coming to take me to the funny farm.....

The malfunctioning android on the loose again...

Does anyone know if there's any difference between this kit and the previous ones (apart from the additional base, figures and street accessories)?

That looks to be a nice package. I would however expect it to rather pricey given the contents. I'm not sure who would buy it to be honest considering most of us like to build vehicles that generally kill people lol. The tram itself would be useful in an urban dio and I've seen it used to great effect but a self contained dio of a tram with people sitting in it? Hmmm...I can't see us rushing to buy this one. All of the components are useful in their own way but not as a package. Just my two pennies worth.

Vicious, just ignore Ulises. I've just had a look to see if his random comments are anything new as I've only noticed him over the last couple of weeks. They're not unfortunately. There are over 30 pages of utterly pointless, random comments in poor English. It would appear that he feels he has to say something even if he's got nothing to say. He's not contributed anything to the site other than make ridiculous comments. I'm quite surprised he hasn't been booted off for behaving like an idiot when you look at them lol. I'd be surprised if he's even built a kit in his life

If the price was right, l would definitely go for one...l mean if you build a tram, you'll need a base with (preferably) tracks anyway, won't you?
Perhaps the whole idea is that Miniart is trying to get rid of a discontinued model in an attractive package...?

Right, but who doesn't feel the urge sometimes to break the routine by building something that can be painted red or yellow...? I definitely do...

i think you can easily ad on the scene a bunch of soldiers,Gestapo or MP check the documents or some small "killing machine" like BMW morbike or a 222 etc.. with some adjustments eaven a post war scene....the only limit is the fantasy...

about Ulisses....smile and wave...

The tram was used into the 60s in regular service (and clothing did not change that much until the mid 60s either) so post WWII is quite doable. Post 1960 it was still used as a "maintenence car" and today we have some museum cars running.

So maybe combine it with Masterbox "Zombies" (that make decend Pokemon-Go playing teenagers )
