Hear, hear. By all means go out and look around. Take some photos. When I started doing this, I could be anywhere and guessing how many bricks wide, high etc. something would be. (Of course you make crazy exaggerations as needed.) (20 years ago, 29-May-04, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

Hi Bruce, it's me again. Having checked out the other dogs, I thought I'd better post the dog I made for my wife a couple of years ago.
