rue_d_etropal Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I do like the look of those curved boards. The concept of the laser cut design is good, but superb when applied to a curved module. Now with ends like on the APA box I could do a lot with them. One thing I have learned from exhibiting , has been that protecting what is on layout is important, and makes storage easier. Weight is also important, and starting with a lightweight baseboard definitely helps. Just noticed, Mozzer, that you might be having wagon turntables on layout ,(working or dummy?)
