Testing the Canal Boat on the Village Layout
photo taken May 23, 2008

Way in the background is where I think I may put
the Canal Boat and the Mill on the Hill.

 
►Okay.  So I said I couldn't bring out any of my Sylvanian stuff until the frame sections, plywood and ceiling were all put together.  But... but... but, I just had to see if the place I'd planned on having the Canal Boat and the Mill on the Hill would actually fit.  And, they do!

The Mill on the Hill will be elevated by some means so there is a kind of harbor for the Canal Boat.  I'm not sure how I'm going to do it at this moment, but am thinking of using a technique the model railroad guys use - which is gluing sheets of Styrofoam insulation together, then carving and painting and doing some other things to make the harbor and land areas look natural.

On the left side, I'm thinking about putting a beach area with space for camping and wilderness exploration. 

Wow!  Now that I see Sylvanian stuff on the plywood, I just want to have all the basic structure finished and ready to go on to the part where I landscape everything!  I can't wait!  I'd better get cracking, but first I have to put the Canal Boat and the Mill on the Hill away.
