Part of my layout addition includes a wall on the left-hand side of the available space, and I would like to be able to do two things with that area:
1) disguise the wall and guide your eye away from the fact that there's a wall there,
2) Give the illusion that there is a hill that runs from high to low from front to back of the available space.
The germ of the kernel of the idea is to start with the corner of a low-relief brick and concrete warehouse and run it parallel to the wall and gradually run sections downward toward the back of the 16 inches I have available there. No pictures yet of what this'll really look like - I have to play around with bits and pieces of a Clever Models kit that's a bit of a kitbasher's dream. The kit files include nothing but walls, windows, pilasters, roof caps, and doors. I'll also supplement some other doors, awnings, signs, etc. from other Clever kits to add some additional interest. That's the plan at any rate.
Here's a shot of a couple of the printed "base" sheets that can be cut out and joined to my heart's content.
...and here's one of their (Clever's) ideas on what could be built:
I think my structure's going to be a bunch of conjoined warehouses which house the same business - I'll have to do a little research to see what other than coal was going on in Hazleton in 1976 that might merit the structure.
No real plan! This will really be a true kitbash, and a challenge.
