Bill: Thanks for the review. I've been thinking on this one for some time and your review has definitely moved it onto the wish list. Maybe Santa will throw some cash my way and I can order it.

Happy Modeling, -zon

Lots of potential for a street scene.

What are the actual dimensions of the road portion?

It would be good to know in advance so potential customers can eye ball the maximum size of vehicle that could be used on the base.

What are the actual dimensions of the road portion?

The street portion of the diorama is 10.5" (26.7cm) by 5" (12.7cm).

Glad you liked the kit! Other than really putting a lot of detail & character into the master patterns one of the main things I wanted these kits to have was ease of assembly. In most cases you can get the 3 or 4 castings glued together & have them ready to paint (the fun part!) in about 15 minutes.

I wanted these kits to be an alternative to the vacuform kits on the market now. I've seen that type of kit built up to look great but man does it seem to take a lot of work to get them glued together & the seams filled. With our type of kit it's "Wham bam paint it Mame". : )

Cheers!
