These images do look familiar. I swear that I have seen either these photographs or something similar in the past created as a mock up or fantasy set. I think someone has just made their own mock up of a set they would like to see produced.

Web site "Fantasy Kit World" has in the past made box art representing aircraft, tanks, ships, cars and figures of subject matter not in kit form or not by a particular manufacturer- but they always identify their artwork with their logo as literally a "fantasy" or proposed kit that modellers would love to have but unlikely to ever materialise!

Also "Fantasy Kit World" have no intention of fooling modellers, but creating kits that in another world did exist as a fictional creation of a "what-if" subject. Their site is fascinating and worth a look although I don't know if it has been active recently.

Yes, I think on ebay, but it may have been somewhere else on the net, thought it was a put together playset by someone , in fact it may have been thrown up by me following a link to a 1/32 D-day playset on youtube (using french infantry rather than Brits) and lost interest very quickly. So in truth did not pay a lot of attention to either.

Dear Alan,

Alledgedly, these images were taken and sent to us from Facebook Miniatures Scale 1/72 site.
Best regards,

That will be it then, the base look familiar, possibly from a 70`s Japanese maker set, Nitto ?

I run a number of Facebook hobby groups and many people make up their own playsets, even hire someone to print box art on cardboard boxes for them. Usually they use existing products from various companies. They don't sell them, they just do it as part of their hobby.

1/32nd scale playsets were very common in the 1950s and 1960s, even into the 1970s. And it makes an interesting project to gather existing models and make your own.

I've seen "bundles" appear on ebay over the years. By itself, the diorama base may not sell well for the price-point with it's postage cost but throw in an arty set and a nice colour backdrop and it makes it more appealing without increasing the postage cost much (if any). If you paint everything and add basing materials to the diorama you have a nice all-in-one set for a display
