Wayne, <br /> <br />I think your comment on .030 styrene might be a little thin is an excellent one, one I didn't think about previously. I think I read that Linoluem box car article! Wasn't it the one in the same issue where they guy build the most highly detailed 4-8-8-4 in the world using a broom handle and a lathe? (it is amazing how far products in this hobby have advanced - it also makes me totally respect the modeling abilities of some of the pioneers in this hobby!). <br /> <br />I agree that you should enjoy your home, but with the amount of wall that Hal is looking to cover, I think making some sort of frame attached to the benchwork is the way to go. I also never thought about moving (hey, I was in the Navy and how hard can it be to stay at Norfolk, the largest concentration of Navy bases in the world? - but 2 years after buying my house I got transferred to CA), but it can happen. Also, I think that having the backdrop attached to the benchwork would allow easier modifications to the layout in the future. Just my .02 worth :)
