RSS Fetcher Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Whilst musing on the Cement Shed boxfile, and doing some modelling on Wheal Tiny, I've been thinking about another concept - a harbour in a crate. Sounds daft (so it must be one of mine), but consider this... Take a crate, similar to that used by Marc Smith for Bracty Bridge , and cut out one side and the front. Make these pieces hinge from their bottom edge, so when laid flat the layout forms an L shape. Leave the back and other side in place, to retain strength and provide a back/side scene. This would give a layout that would be viewable from the front and end. I'd yet to work out how to make the hinged pieces work, but thei main idea is a layout which simply folds up to transport, with something like a bungee cord around the top edge to hold it all together. The quay sides would be similar to Chris Nevard's 'bit on the side', so raised off the floor of the crate. At the moment, this is pure fantasy, but I'm sure I'll have a go at it some time.
