Another new building kit. Feedback wanted.
Posted by downtowndeco on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 2:50 PM

This one is based on a photo of an apartment in Iraq. It features six hydrocal castings w/great detail and a full color instruction set. It can be assembled in a couple different ways. As always, feedback is encouraged. Cheers!

YOWZA!!!!

Easily the BEST I've ever seen!

That is seriously incredible looking!

I could even see that passing for a regular European building from some of the towns I have traveled through! Especially Czech!

I think I went to your site(Downtown deco?)to see how to order some of your kits.I did not see any info od the ruined buildings, only railroad buildings.

Thanks to all for the encouragement. The company I will be marketing these under will be "Dioramas Plus". I am securing the website and will be placing ads soon. For now you can find these on eBay, where I am test marketing them. Search "1/35 diorama"

I do have an alternative version of this, more complete, with full side walls & a third story in the works. Cheers!

I always see alot of things like office buildings, and homes and farms and such, in this type of kit.  Ever think of doing ruined industrial buildings, like factories and such?

I went on EBay and checked out what you had. The only problem I see is that the title or your building is 1/35 diorama... but it appears that you are using 1/32 Forces of Valor figures.
The building will be too large if it is for 1/35 figures.
Can you clarify the actual scale of your buildings.
Thanks

Yes Nick, you caught me! :  ). I was using what I had for a quick photo shoot. The building measures out exactly for 1/35 scale. If you could see the FOV figure next to the door you'd see that the 1/32 figures are a hair to big for the model, not the other way around. Thanks for keeping me on my toes though! The finished dioramas for the box art will all have 1/35 figures/vehicles to show the scale. Cheers!
