New base with a village Notice Board.
This scene depicts a village wall on which is mounted a case holding various notices that would be important to local inhabitants. This is a timeless method of communicating important information to the community before the advent of telephones and individual mail addresses.

These boards are still in use throughout the world today. As such, this base can be used to depict a scene in almost any locale, in any period of time from the last hundred years until the present.

The model is completely laser etched and cut. The base measures approximately 6" X 7" (15cm X 17cm) with the street section able to fit the "footprint" of a PZ IV chassis at the extreme. It is the perfect size to display 4 or more figures and a small vehicle, or the same number of horseback mounted figures.

The paper and cardstock parts respond well to any paint medium, using washes and dry brushing to bring out the texture in the cobblestones and plaster and brick wall. Assembly with common white glue (PVA) is recommended.
The notice board case can be finished with clear acetate glass or nylon mesh screen.

Printed WWII era military occupation orders and posters in French, German and Dutch are included.

This will make a different, but effective backdrop for a dio, plus, I like the slight angle to the street base. Nice idea, MP!
