That way works fine if you are using a kit structure that has a base on it but many of them don't. If they don't then you can glue the completed structure onto a sheet of thick styrene and run the scenery over it. The only problem is this doesn't work very well at the front of buildings on paved streets where there is a sidewalk. What you can also do is build a styrene foundation that you mount in the scenery with vertical wires poking out of it that fit into tight holes in the bottom of the buildings. This has the advantage that you can take the building off the layout without breaking the scenery so it is easier to put in interiors, lights, extrat detail, etc. This is the metod that I favour with my scratchbuild buildings. neil
