THE BASE:
It is an oval-shaped casting in white-plaster, that is 11” x 7 ½” format.
It stands 5/8's of an inch high and has stair stepped edges.
It consists of a sidewalk and street.
The sidewalk is 2” wide and 8 1/3” long, divided into 4 squares that are 2”.
The street is 5” x 10 ¼” in size. It has a round manhole cover engraved into it that has circles engraved into the top of it and a sewer opening grating next to the side-walk.
This base will make up into a great diorama, using figures on the sidewalk and vehicles or tanks in the street.
My thought is to have soldiers and civilians on the sidewalk, cheering Hitler riding down the street in his Mercedes staff=car.
Detail is very good on it. It weighs about a pound or so.
