I know that these are simple kits, but with some work I hope it details out nice. There are a few detailing items in the kit, shovels, and some other tools. More when progress is made.

Some of the parts are a little out of scale, but it's usually the stuff that can easily be replaced with a strip of plastic or wire. One of the things that I like about Life Like kits is that all the buildings are modeled after 1:1 buildings that are around Baltimore. I think I know where all of them are or were. The 'Fire Station' was in Woodlawn. My dad was a volunteer there. I know they have a new building, I'm not sure if the old one is still standing or not.

Cool, nice to know some of the history behind these buildings.
