Hi Warrior maybe you could post a picture , I think everyone would love to see it. Paul

In 54mm/60mm, this would be massive, I've got one in 20mm and it's gigantic.

Thanks Warrior. Is it made by Paul at Direwolf Direwolf scenics? Paul

Yes, he's my 3D printing partner.

My 3D printing partner in the UK does one, it's spectacular.

Nice. Although it would be quite large in 1/30 or 1/32, I think if it came in segments to be assembled, that it would be a manageable item for KC or some manufacturer.

A really iconic piece. Looks great in any scale. Robin.

Thanks Paul.

To give anyone, who fancies doing something similar, here's what I was using.
It's the little things that help make it, the rubble, the posters and the graffiti.

The rubble of miniature bricks and timber were from Ebay, you can find it in the 1.35th scale and as uou see works well enoughgor 1.30th., spread over a JG miniatures street mat, helps with clear it all away when finished !
The posters were downloads of real ones and resized and printed of course from the Internet.
The round advertising tower was, just a piece of cardboard tubing I cut to approximate size to look the part, though that could of been better if the diameter had been a few millimeters larger. Cone shape was done by cutting a round piece of cardboard and cutting a line from edge to centre and using that to make cone, and covering it with some tape.
The graffiti was copied from photos of the time, and freehand painted onto Tamiya brick walls I had glued together and painted.
Hope that helps anyone thinking of doing something like it.
On the B&W ones, I just used a suitable pic, found on Internet for background.

Thanks for the info regarding the rubble, I have always wondered how the 1/35 bricks would work with the 1/30th scale items.

I've bought these 1.35 scale bricks from a couple of sellers, and while they vary slightly in design and size, they all seem to work well enough for 1.30th Scale, as do the brick wall sections made by Tamiya.

I'm wandering if a backdrop, on foamboard, such as the one K&C have made of the Castle facade would work, as it would help give a little depth, and also be such a space saver and shelf display friendly ?
Though yeah, for anyone with the space to spare for a large diorama, a 3D print would be awesome
