The tools and the cooking set look not only great, but useful for many diorama uses. I'm sure many will grab a few sets of these.

Yes they are useful, but how popular they are will depend on the prices.
$15 dollars for the dining set is quite expensive for what you actually get. This set sells in Sweden for 180:- ($28.34 or £17.42 or €20.27). These sets are slightly bigger and if the prices reflect this, I wont be buying them.

These sets are great and very useful, but I'm with Frank regarding the price.
By the way, on the back of the tools box, what is that tank cut-and-fold thing?

I agree. Over 20 € for an accessory set it means in my opinion that is at least 5 euros overpriced
It looks useful but I won't buy it at this price

Is it an added bonus novelty of a miniature KV 2 paper model?

Nice set!
I´m sure, the factory tools sets will find their buyers. (possibly including me)
They look good and are useable for different situations.
But I also think, the other sets also will find their buyers.
The plants will be needed at DAK and its counter-parts -scenes and also the cooking-ware is a welcomed set and can be used for different scenaries / times.

I have to agree with the other comments regarding price. Yes, they look good but the tool set (and the even more sparce "Cooking Ware" set) doesn't offer enough bang for the buck. I also question the inclusion of a modern desk lamp in what appears to be a WW2 era workshop. But perhaps the lamp is meant for a modern diorama.

A 1/35 scale paper model of a 1/35 scale model tank? Interesting... That combined with the lamp do suggest a kind of timelessness to the set suggesting that the pieces could be used anywhere from the 30's to modern dioramas.

I got both the Cactus and factory tool sets from Diopark via Hobbyeasy and both are very nice.

That workshop is "out of time". You will find this setup in more than a few privat hobbist garages even today from the looks of it. The only addition may be an electric drill with stand.

cant see a website but their stuff is still readily available.
It's just very expensive for what you get and the likes of MiniArt are producing similar for much less cost now
(Au$80 for a set of farm tools??)

They are indeed. Check eBay, and the overseas shops. What are you looking for? I have a pretty fair amount of their stuff and some multiples in the stash. Since you're fairly if I have it I might be able to help you out for cheap on postage.
