That was one of my concerns was how to do this without overwhelming the town.
I don't think the TCS window area would be large enough for it to be very far
off in the distance, unfortunately. The Dragon's Lair should definitely be a
sideshow, not a main attraction of this display.
The dragon diorama/playset that I had built previously was designed to look
like a plain old cave from the outside, but a nicely appointed apartment on
the inside. It sounds like it would be better if I focused on this kind of
thing to put inside of a cube, instead of my other idea for an imposing
castle/keep thingie.

Didn't Suzanne mention in one of her messages that she had built a keep? It
seems that some sort of "seat of power" would be in order. It also sounds
like we won't have any barracks for the troops, although they'll probably be
too busy fighting the invaders to notice.
