Good locale for an abandoned Jagdtiger, though the bases on these are narrower than I'd like.

I know what you mean Bill but you can always buy the buildings seperately and make your own roadway.

If I where Miniart, I would have made the coblestonestreet way larger and let my customer cut it to the size he sees fit. I agree that some of these bases becomes a tad bit tight should you want to display a larger vehicle on it.

You're right, Pat, but each time I look at a kit like this, I'm thinking about it as a "solution." If I only get part of the solution, then it often causes me to hold back. It's one reason I like Custom Dioramas, for example: he includes most everything you need, including rubble!

I hesitate to write this in a Miniart news thread but TM Dioramas make several leager cobble street section in vac form plastic compatible with Miniart kits. jadar stock them.

Though I partly agree with your comment (as well as other comments made in relation to MiniArt and/or other products) it is not quite clear, why don't you contact them directly (OK, comment it here as well). They've got a message board on their webpage. I assume (provided they want to) they will react quicker to needs of customers. In any case they state so.
I'd recommend everybody to make similar comments simultaneously here and on the page of the affected company as weel. (e.g. I'm urging for long time MA to produce more civil cars, householf appliances, accessories - the possibilities are limits are infinitive )

Good idea. Miniart do read these forums for feedback buit no harm in adding a message to their guestbook with your ideas and wishlists.

Yes I had a similar idea but it wasn't using this Miniart recent release but the Pharmacy one, in the background .
.

Alongside the Jagdtiger would be Otto Carius and other crew members with one saying "Well Otto what do you think you'll do when this mess is all over?"

For those who don't know the legendary Tank Ace of WW2
