That Sat dish is excellent, great idea. The store sign looks good too. Are you going to make an AC unit too?

Very nice accessories for Your building, good job! I've used ping-pong ball to make my satellite dish too But it will look better if You make this frame around dish not inside, but outside it. Keep on with updates.

At the background of Meng and Macone sets there is a piece of diorama's photo. Could You tell what is this diorama? Have You got a link to a whole gallery?

Thanks

Nice, tight little scene! I love it, not too much weathering, really sets it off. IMHO
Everything looks great, can't wait to see the scene in its completion. Figures are perfect too.

Excellent details going on here. I really like those ad signs with damage. Something I might consider to incorporate into my project since it is a heavily battle damaged scene...

Excellent work!!!
The diorama is coming together very nicely and as voiced before, the damaged ad sign is really awesome as is your weathering!
Keep this top-notch project going.

Very very nice details. Those have got to be the most realistic cinder blocks I've seen so far.
