Hi all,
There is a lovely looking diorama currently inspiring me on the miniart website consisting of four different kits:
36015 - Village Diorama Base
36017 - European Farmhouse
36028 - Village Diorama with Fountain
36030 - Diorama with Ruined Church
Now these kits are available as 36018 (the first two) and 36029, (the second two) at about 3/4 of the price of buying them individually.
My question is, is anything excluded from the individual kits to make up the "twin" sets ? I am particularly interested to know if the fountain in kit 36028 is included in 36029 ? (If not, is it available separately ?)
Still with me here ?. If I bought them all individually, it would cost me in the region of £80, or if I bought the two "twin" sets it would cost me £65.
Is a fountain really worth the extra £15 ?
I would appreciate some advice from anyone who has these kits in either their individual or "twin pack" form.
Thanks guys (and gals !)
Andy

Might not be mate not in the pic ,
the good thing about miniart is they give you an awful lot of extras in the box of any kit.

Hey there Andy, the 2 building sets include everything that is in the 2 separate sets. If you want the 2 of them, it is generally cheaper to get them as the one kit, then separately.

I'd imagine you get everything. Miniart tend to double up sprues for more than one kit to save on mould costs, so you usually get more than you need. I can't see why you wouldn't get the fountain, since essentially they are just repackaging existing sprues and the fountain probably comes on the same one as the rest of the detail.
