Wow, Really?! Congrats.

yes, maybe something like you suggest would work. If you have no table saw, or
other way to cut plywood, I have used 1" thick corragated cardboard. It's nice
and light, yet strong as plywood and very flat.
Do we know, when is the projected date for our setup at TCS?

yup. :-)
I think the pictured army scene could be up front and center, while models like
mine may get spread around in background on slightly different levels. But we'll
see when the time comes. Any models of mine you don't need, I still enjoyed
making.
Hmm.. I wonder how it would look for the store window's back wall to carry a few
poster-size close-up pictures from minifig perspective. that'd be fun if TCS
would spring for the printing. hmmm (thinking)

good point.

yes, she'd be an "outside the walls" kinda character. like Merlin or something.
I still have an embarrassingly huge number of BURPs and gray bricks here,
unused. Tree parts too. So if you need more boundary walls or a cliff or
something, we have those materials available.
