THE SET:
About Verlinden Productions:
Verlinden Productions is the epitome of aftermarket military kits and resin figures which brought thousands of military miniatures and related products to the market. The company is the brainchild of Belgian modeler Francois Verlinden, a Belgium-born entrepreneur, author of many books, photographer and military miniature artist who founded Verlinden Productions in the early 1980s.
Verlinden Productions is the granddaddy of the aftermarket parts and resin figure manufacturers. Verlinden has influenced legions of modelers, and will forever be one of the most significant figures in 1/35 scale modeling. Verlinden's outstanding eye for detail and superior quality puts him in the top echelon of his craft. The resin quality is considered as one of the best in the world.
I’ve seen it said, several times on the web, that Verlinden has gone out of business.
This set comes in a sealed clear cello bag.
It contains 2 sections of tiles in 5 1/4th x 7 ½” format.
Both sections are in shades of brown and tan tiles, that are embossed around their 4 sides.
One section has ¼” tiles on it and the other one has ½” ones.

There is a stiff grey card in the cello bag, to guard against the tile sheet bending and a 8 ½” x 11” white instruction sheet, printed on one side, with black line drawings.
It says, at the top, that the set comes from the Cross Keys shopping center in Florissant, MO.
It shows 3 ways the tiles can be used.
One way shows the small tiles, laying in the grass outside a building’s window.
The second way shows the tiles cut into individual squares and piled in the grass outside of a cement wall.
The third way shows the large tiles, laying on the floor of the inside of a battle damaged building with rubble on them.
Below the illustrations, there is a black and white photo of the large tile section, laying in the gateway, through two concrete square pillars, that have roofs and a ball on their tops, in front of a concrete building.
