This is a set from the Street Tours line by Tech Deck. They retail for $19.99 and come with a play set and a finger board. This set is a little different from the others as it has areas that are separated. It also has a sign that does not have to stay if not wanted.

This set is a one of the better ones to do a close quarters battle in my opinion. It has higher walls for cover and a nice separation between structures. The stairs are good too as they put figures at a nice raised elevation if so desired. They are also high enough to use for cover with a figure laying down. The same goes for the single wall with the sign on it.

This one took a while to detail. There are a bunch of cracks to deal with. Once it's done though, it really makes it look 100 times better.

The biggest downfall to this set is the piece that separates the two structures. It is just a cardboard floor that has tiles printed. Spraying it with a matte finish can help for pictures since it seems to glare with certain lighting. It can also be completely removed and you can add your own surface for between them. Perhaps using texture spray paint on poster board and setting these on top.

In closing, I do feel this set has a lot of potential for dioramas. There are quite a few scenarios you can play out with it. Of course, a good background will help dramatically so if you have a printer find a good back drop online to put behind it. The street sign can easily be removed too if it does not work will with the scene you may try.

Yer just pissed cause the sign says no alcohol.:D I was dissappointed by the cardboard sidewalk, but I would like one or two more of this set. I have some ideas but need spare parts.

That's one of my favorite sets sans the cardboard. I like how you did the cracks, looks much better!
