Looks great, it actually has the architecture of many of our (US) older industrial buildings. We still had street lights like that, and yes even trolley tracks in cobble stones when I was a mere tike.

Great item and base, the only problem I have with the building is the top corner wall. With the damage the wall has received and the way it stands any strong wind will know it down. In real life it will come down rather quickly from any storm.
Besides that, it is great.

With the base, this is really a dio in waiting. My only complaint with the company, though, is that EVERY KIT has the same windows and doors. You can't tell me EVERY Russian/Ukrainian/French/German building across Europe had the same fixtures.

The one and only criticism I have with this product line, is the lack of space for placing a model vehicle. About all that can fit on the base is a jeep.
Other than that, I have used the product, and enjoy the build.

Yes, I agree some of the bases are small but then you can always add the building to your on base or extend theirs
