@ gordonfan01: I like that layout in your photo! It’s a great example of finding the right materials for the job and having it turn out looking nice.
As part of my “diary” in this thread, I’m planning to address the table I use and the terrain. Briefly though, it’s a wooden library table that’s about 32x60 inches. The base of the layout in the first photo is a 1 inch thick piece of pink styrofoam insulation, cut to the same dimensions. Land forms are made from scrap packing styrofoam, left over insulation foam and even scrap cardboard. I’ll get in to that a bit more later.
Folding tables or a custom 4x8 foot layout table would be a great alternative but we don’t have the space for them right now.
