That's very kind of you, Dan, and thank you for your interest.
The intention was always to employ the 'window-on-the-world' approach as I call it, as it offers the observer (me!) a tantalising glimpse of the scene before them; just like looking at an old photograph of say Downtown LA, where you're left wondering: 'what was behind that building in the foreground' or 'what were the buildings like further up or down the street just out of shot?'. Sadly (especially if much of the scene has long since been demolished) they shall never know. Similarly, by restricting the view in this way, the observer of this humble model is
also left in suspense (unless they look over the top, of course
). That's the idea, anyway.
As for the construction side of things, although I know roughly the proportions of what I'm after and what needs to be portable etc., frankly I'm just making it up as I go along. Think I'm riding my luck!
Regards,
jonte
