Blott On The Landscape – Layout Construction.

Our layout, Blott on the Landscape, is finally wired and ready for scenery. 

Aidan and Richard did a great job of painting the various areas in the appropriate colours, ready for adding scatter, more buildings, people etc.

Blott is a purely fictional setting, so called because it will have a grimy scrap yard in the foreground, somewhat annoying the country folk who live in the rural surroundings.
