Well I've only seen a couple...mostly from you and Herman...cross your fingers I can make the time to build one...I'm sure it'll give my GUP builds a nicer look ;)

I agree ALPA and it need not take much time or even effort. A simple flat concrete looking hardstand with some 1 dimensional maintenance building flats behind it makes a great way to showcase vehicle pictures.

Yes indeed Giant... all I have to do is decide whether to build a carrier scene or a school yard scene

ALPHA you could use the Luan floor underlayment to make to make a flat by doing smaller wall type bricks and using white instead of black paint to accent the mortar lines. Cut out window spaces and glue flat black painted papercard on the rear a thicker cardstock cutout to make windows frames and mullens and some clear plastic cut from anything you buy that's in a blister pack that has large flat areas. Sandwich the plastic between the flat black and window frames and you will have a wall that looks real but is only a quarter inch thick.
