I have a Fos Scale Forley Lithography kit that was produced as a low-relief flat. I installed it in a spot where the wall takes a jog, and the deep part of the jog was deeper than the deepest possibility of the Forley kit. I thought for some time about what to do with that and eventually, when I ordered a Kingmill "Commerce Street" set of background flats, decided to fill the space with one of those on backing that was raised enough to fill the gap between Forley and the wall-behind-the-jog. Here's the Forley before:
And the Forley after:
I've seen layouts on other forums that use Kingmills glued directly to the wall, and I don't think they work as well. Seeing the way Dr Wayne and Mr Nutbar have done them, where they "pop" on low-relief forms, is what inspired me to start using Kingmills myself. Now I have to figure out how to fill the gap lower down between the Forley and the Walthers Plant No 4 or whatever it is.
More to come on this area.
