I actually enjoy these. I happily remember the diorama sets by UPC, AHM, Airfix, Tamiya (in a bottle!), and others back in the 1960s-1970s. With these better models of terrain and structures I think modelers, novice to advanced, have a good staring point to express their inspiration.

Never found the figures all that great, but was a lot of fun. I think with some of the skills I have gained, and maybe some AM figures and parts, could be a great diorama.

Not to mention that extra individual floors are also available (as separate kits) to turn the two floor apartment building into a highrise!

Hi Carlos,
Good presentation for a very nice set. Great idea for a large dio with a lot of figures. Thanks for posting.

Looks like as much fun as the Aurora Anzio Beach set I had as a kid (with an M-46 and an M4A1 HVSS, sic). The decal can be fixed to read "Siegen oder Sibi-rien" as in this photo:

But isn't it all Klingon opera?
