Well here are two pictures of my extremely simple 16"x16" facade that we can use to hide the glass cubes at TCS when we set up the display. Like I said before the biggest part of this are the BURPS but otherwise supplies are minimal. 35 Rectagular (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

I might be able to do one of these cliff sections -- I found the 6766 Rapid River set, (URL) that Eric has previously recommended on clearance at KB Toy for about $35, so I am now the proud owner of 10 rectangular BURPs.
