Interesting, I assume the contents have already been consumed :lol:
Once upon a time I built a model railway in the loft. Now I dabble on much smaller baseboards.

Not sure what the finish is to be, but box cut as shown with a fibre mat in place.

:lol: Within ten minutes of any one of my grandkids arriving, the plaintive moan goes up: "I'm huuungry!" Serves me right for feeding them.

Glencairn, I also was going to look at one of those boxes to see if I can
strip one outer layer off to get corrugated sections for a shed.

Any cardboard will do. Great for ploughed land as well.

You need a finer corrugation for smaller scales, I did use peeled boxes for the wriggly tin on Green End Quarry but that was G scale.

Nice start with the boxed in base, the three backdrops will give scope for enlarging the scene in low relief or painted landscapes.

Eating grandchildren may be frowned upon. Then again, they do all sorts nowadays... :?
