Justin, thank you 
.
Herc, these mockups are a big help for me when planning my layout. Without them starting to scratchbuild a structure would be much more of a risk.
So do I . I hope we won’t get disappointed 
Tetters, it is true, I have a relatively clear vision of this layout in my mind. That does not mean that I already know what each structure will look like. Some things I find are even better than what I have imagined, like these three small stores that will line the big street on the left end of my layout: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=de&geocode=&q=plymouth+st,+ny&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=59.249168,135.263672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Plymouth+St,+Brooklyn,+Kings,+New+York+11201&ll=40.701537,-73.986633&spn=0.006832,0.020599&z=17&layer=c&cbll=40.701439,-73.984761&panoid=ij9HxJgIh9qeK_LuWxZVkA&cbp=12,53.51,,0,10.06">http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ... 1,,0,10.06</a><!-- m --> ... and that mural on the sidewall is the icing on the cake

The answer is: I don’t know. I have been thinking about the backdrop for a while now, but could not come up with a decision yet. Painting the whole wall light blue might be the best solution, but that would mean that I had to replace the wallpaper to get a smoother surface. Being the lazy slob I am, I still hope to find a better (easier) way. I don’t want to mount the backdrop to the layout. I did it that way on my first layout and I did not like it. I think it is better to mount it to the wall, especially as it should be at least 2 1/2 ft. high. So I am still looking for the best sloution. Any ideas?
