Gus, first I printed out the photos at the size I wanted, then taped all the photos together. Used a long straightedge to make sure all the buildings were level. There are over 20 photos in all, and the whole thing is around 6 feet long. Then I used a level to align the photos on the wall and taped them down. From that, I use a "measuring stick" to establish the major points of the buildings. The photo is an example. Once the major points are dotted in, they are connected together with a straight edge.
For vertical lines, I taped a yardstick to the wall, making sure it is level. Then a small draftsman's triangle is used.
