Potentially a nice little diorama for my recently acquired cheepo M5 kit*. I fancy having a go at building the facade of one of the buildings too, could be a fun (and challenging!) challenge. All together should certainly be enough stuff involved to make it a, er, thorough test of the current state of my modelling skills - after a break of more than three decades!
* As of March 2025, now 2 x cheapo M5 kits. A opportunity to compare the original and the copy...
