Pre-mock-up Mock-up

I’ve almost made a mock-up.

Under the guidance of Paul Bambrick at the Spring Railway Modellers Weekend at Missenden Abbey, I've taken my first steps towards making the St Donats layout. There’s lots to do, but I’ve now got something to look at, and here’s the first pic with “improvement notes” to guide the next steps.

The one-third scale mock-up is 9” deep and 12” wide. The “View Box” refers to the enclosing box with a cut-out to frame the view, which will eventually be seen in a theatre-type presentation with wings and a proscenium arch. The new frame height will be about 4.5” at mock-up scale.
