Patrick,
Wow that is weird - I was just grabbing a burrito at Taco Bell and reading this on my iPad and the picture does not show, just a little box with a question mark. I am now back on my laptop and the picture is there. I wonder if that is a Safari thing or an iPad thing? What are you viewing the forum on?

I dont know anything about computers Ted, I was just havin a little fun with ya.I have windows vista, thats all i know.Hope i didnt ruin your burito.
Patrick, depending on the depth of your layout, another way you can fill in some large background real estate is to get some large foamboard, cover with some brick or other designed paper (like from Clevermodels.com), then cut some windows/doors. Use chalk to add some texture to the paper so they don't look so flat and uniform. Add some 3-D details like fire escapes, wall billboards, signage etc. Add a 2"-3" roof extension to the top and you can put chimneys, other billboards, even rooftop stair exits on it. You can even built out a section from scrap wood and get the effect that Jim has on his Heritage Furniture building.

Actually Depth is not going to to be a problem so much.I am going to put it on rollers or temporary mounts for certain sections of the layout.Ill lokk into that cleveland.Wouldnt mind finding some brick styrene at a reasonable price.Be nice to get some big sheets of it. The lttle sheets to me seem a little high. Thanks.
