After much hastle on my Canuckia-connection's part, I managed to get the new Power Team Elite "bombed out" building. And man, this thing's HUGE. Biggest PTE toy to-date save for maybe the planes if you count the wingspan on them.
It's a really messed up apartment building with a mid-east design. It would work as a destroyed building on Tatooine, or for a more earthy tone it would work as a N. Africa campaign building, an Italian/Mediterranean building, or modern military operations in Afghanistan or Iraq would suit it as well. It's gorgeous, and honestly I'd love another one or two of them, to try and make a larger "apartment comlex" type deal.
It's techincally three stories tall, with outdoor and an indoor exposed staircase. It's painted really nice as the stucco is destroyed away from the building at corners and other spots, and the brick underneath is painted red-ish brown. There are destroyed window shutters and doors at just about every opening. There are numerous small and large holes to indicate small arms fire as well as shots from higher caliber weapons and artillery.
The interior is pretty well devoid of detailing, so some work may be needed inside to "clean it up" some and make it look more realistic. I'm at the moment at a loss as to how I want to use it to display figures. I thought a neat "house-to-house" diorama of Stormtroopers clearing it would be a nice diplay up on a higher shelf. Maybe put some Tatooine-ish stuff around it. Though I've also got an army of N. Africa figures that would look good with it.
It would also work well as an Indiana Jones type display. Totally fits with Egypt and whatnot.
I love it... and I owe Dale for buying it for me, and shipping it, which was uber expensive.
