| One of the great things about 1/700 scale is the wide range of accessories
for dioramas. Loose Cannon is one of those companies that cater to the
diorama enthusiast. They offer everything from the biggest ships like the
USS
Midway reviewed here to a line of cranes like the Mare
Island crane, to all kinds of yard craft. One thing that has been missing
is any substantial buildings other than the old Skywave buildings that
everyone has. |

| These new buildings are all new and innovative in their design. This
one is typical of the line and represents the kind of small warehouse that
could be found at installations such as Mare Island. The building is made
up of a clear acrylic inner frame that includes window frames etched into
the surface. The outer skin is laser etched styrene that is very realistic
in appearance. The surface included fine planking and door and window frames.
The roofs are clear etched acrylic that looks like corrugated steel. |

The clear interior will allow you to add lighting if you so desire. You
could even add some interior detailing if you like. Add some of the new
Loose Cannon vehicles and you will have a real cool diorama.
