I've never seen this before...Seems to be a ruined farmhouse with accessories made by Forces Of Valor. Anybody have any photos or intel on this thing I don't think it's one of those FOV vehicle dioramas.

Someone had posted similar e-bay offerings a few months ago and most of us had never seen them before. I think T-man (of course!) had run into them at a hobby store years back.
Seems pretty cool but I think they were a pretty limited release.

well no, I think these are available in certain markets, as in Europe and such. i am not totally sure.I see these often maybe 1 or 2 every 3 months. There are a bunch of things like this. Like sets that have all the accessories that we get with our tanks like the roadblock and sentry house , dragons teeth, tanks traps ect.
they usually are thematic like weapons accessories set or diorama accessories and there are several of each. not that I need another broken wall section, but to get a few more mailboxes or broken chairs and carts would be great for the dioramas I build (especially the framed painting i got with one tank). The thing I always notice about these sets are that the items posted for sale are always in excellent shape, as in "new" so I don't think these are discontinued items, just very rare ones. I don't see them on the unimax website as OOP items, nor do I see them at all on there as a product I used to have a rapport with the woman at unimax who answered the phone in customer service, she would help me find vendors that had an OOP tank and once sent me a bag of parts when I lost an antennae to one of my stugs (I got a gun plate and a bunch of antenna and MGs, very handy when you are outfitting an action series tank). Maybe I will try calling her and find out what the skinny is on these things. To be honest I would lover to have some of these kits. I would make a latex mold and cast parts to usein my dioramas, but alas I never see them
a) often
b) priced reasonable
c) around here
