When is a diorama a dilemma ??

I have now made a start on my 2010 layout challenge, but as I now consider myself a regular blogger, and the blog covers all my layouts I would like to keep some record here ??

So firstly here is a link to my 2010 layout thread

The general idea is to create a G scale indoor layout in 8' x 20". I'm sure it has been done before, there is a very interesting article in one of last years Model Rail magazines about a layout called "Stainsby"

The work in progres plans...

But these were just to test out some ideas

This week I knocked up the baseboards, I copied the idea of a internal house door construction. A 36x18mm timber frame sandwiched between two sheets of 6mm plywood, glued and pined. It has made it very rigid but lightweight.

Once this weekends Crewe Exhibition is over the On30 stuff will have a rest and this will be my main "shed time"

Confused, bemused or intrigued, feel free to comment.
