The customizers creed: if it ain't broke, take it apart and daydream about how to improve it anyway.
The World Peace Keepers / Click n Play Military Base Playset is great. I got it for Christmas and me and the six year old had a lot of fun unboxing it and setting it up.

Still, that open and flat back got me thinking putting two sets back to back could well be worth the price of a double.

What could be better? Look at that beast. No one is breaching that! Still... What if...?

Removable bridge section, add styrene "gutters" to hold the bridge in place. And if you look close that rear speed bump is now flipped up into a barrier behind the gate.

So with all the parts sawed apart and disconnected, the can be reconfigured.
Totally unnecessary, but it was a fun modification. I want to add bridge clips to the other side of each tower so the bridges can have more possibilities too. Maybe add some fence pieces to the open areas of the top, and figure out a ladder on the inside or outside. Probably a partial or full repaint when I'm satisfied.
It's a great set to begin with, but the towers, bridge, and speed bump are all a single piece. I felt like of it were a little more modular it could be even better.
