In the begining........
August 2011 - I started work on one 4ft x 2ft industrial-chipboard base (later I added a second and I am also considering a third and fourth aswell) to start to build the model on.
After some thought, as I intend for this model to be mobile, I decided to create all the main components to be removable, such as buildings, lamps and fragile pieces. When dismantled, all the buildings and fragile bits fit in to a strong metal tool box.
The baseboards are also constructed so they collapse down with removable legs and with wheels on the underside they neatly fit under a double bed.
Below are a series of photographs showing the various stages of the early construction period between August 2011 and December 2011.
