Attention to detail & realism. All of the original pattern work is hand carved by an artisan for maximum realism. This allows Downtown Deco & Dioramas Plus kits to include details you'll never find in other kits. Missing and chipped bricks, 'ghost' staircases and walls,  crumbling stucco and cracked and weathered concrete. If you can find it in real life you'll see it in one of our kits!

Ease of construction. We try & keep the kits simple so you can get to the fun part (painting & weathering the buildings) fairly quickly. Our instructions are second to none, with complete, easy to understand instructions that walk you through each and every step along the way, from basic assembly to painting & weathering the model.

Customer service. Got a question about weathering your model? Give us a call. End up with a broken part somehow? We'll replace the parts for free. Paint your first hydrocal kit & you're unhappy with the way it came out? Drop us an email & we'll send you a second set of castings so that you can try again. Why do we do this? Because we want you to have fun with our kits and to be happy with your finished results. If you need anything at all touch base with us & we'll help you out. Our customer service is second to none.
