Hi
What is an armchair modeller? To many the answer is a sign of disapproval, someone who thinks about building a layout, but does little real modelling.
Many of my previous modelling projects have failed because I didn't do enough thinking, before starting projects.
This time round I did, and this think before you start model, makes the actual project execution easier.
I have now made the main baseboard, yes it is a micro layout. But it is designed to be a complete layout, with a scenic area and a fiddleyard.
Below are some photographs which show the progress which I am making. The layout main board is ONLY 14 mm thick. The thinner the support structure is the more height is available for scenic development. The Really Useful Box, in which the layout will be stored and transported is 120mm high.

When doing my modelling, I sit at my workbench, I sit in a comfortable chair. What is the point in being uncomfortable?
