This is one of the Tech Deck Street Tour sets called 3rd & Army. It is a park in San Fransisco (as noted on the box). Not one of the more elevated sets but it does have a few features that give it use. The set comes with everything shown and a finger board.

This set has a small set of stairs that takes it to a larger platform where the are a few rails and a wall about 1/2" high. There is also a box towards the outside that could be used for cover or whatever else you can come up with. There is a ramp on the front of it that is fairly useless for diorama applications and could use some paint to get rid of the graffiti on it. There is also some on the ground of the platform that could go too. Just looks too cartoony to me.

This set is unpainted too. You can see it is a little plain out of the box.





Here is a reference to show the height of the platform:

Diorama-wise, this set is somewhat limited because of it's height. This would be nice set up in front of a park or something like that. It can be used on it's own but is almost a set that could use something added to it. Not a bad set but it would not be one of the first ones I would get if others were available. It is nice to have around just to get different ideas going.

I'm kinda on the fence about this one, though it would have its uses.

I agree about the graffiti, so are you going to repaint the whole thing?? And is the back flat? open?

Yea, this set is cool to have if you have extra space and loot. Not a necessity but it can be used. Not sure what I'm going to do with the graffiti. I may try to match the color to cover them and then black wash it. It's a project once winter shows up.

this is one set that i have seen...can't really figure out much use for it...maybe a crahed vehicle and some guys are using it for cover?

The walls are just high enough for cover. I'm so glad you showed that! I gotta get that Ringcon one first. Its getting hard to find, well a lot of the bigger sets are. I wish I had gotten a second stairway/gate one.

That is a good idea Ed, but with a backdrop and some other stuff the possibilities are many.

I'm tempted to take some pictures of mine in the garage now.
