The clinic continued with some
more examples of Micro Layouts, drawn from the
Micro Layout Design Gallery on this
site. This portion of the presentation concluded with some "far out" layout
ideas, including
-
Nouvion, a 20x30 inch G-scale evocation of the hit TV comedy, 'Allo 'Allo;
- the vertical sector plate,
which not only swivels but rises and falls in 3D;
- an interactive layout
where guests create
their own graffiti on miniature 4x8 plywood panels that are then fixed on the layout,
which represents a fenced construction site; and
- the idea of a working helix with a 6-inch
radius contained in a micro layout -- I designed it in order to represent the amazing
Darjeeling Himalayan RR
in India, and that sketch inspired Derek Pratt to actually
build a hidden helix on his pike!
