This set looks great . I'm still not sure about the size of  large veggie boxes , but being plastic , I can cut them down a row or two to suit my purposes .

All very nice and useful  :)
Although I’m slightly nonplussed as to the presence of a suitcase and a tin bath in an assemblage of market produce...
Presumably, the idea of these plus the handcart is perhaps to enable diorama modellers to portray refugees?

The tin tub was a common sight in the market to wash fish and vegetables.  As for the suitcase, I have no idea... can ask the designers, hahaha!

I guess you could use the tin tub and suit case in a refugee type diorama , maybe even using some parts from the furniture set piled up on the hand cart .  Or as spoils of war tied on to a T-34 in Berlin , some where I've seen a picture of one with an upright piano on the engine deck . There are lots of market place / house hold type parts available for numerous 28mm games out there , IRC Mantic just finished a kick starter of large  scenery packs including Town Square and Manor House sets which usually they break these down into smaller stall / room sets when sold to the public in Hobby Shops . Hopefully Rubicon's civilian figures will lend themselves to market day sellers / shoppers and refugees

I have seen a photograph of a Panther in Normandy with a bathtub on the engine deck with a jerry can in it.
