37. A receiving notch
was cut into the 2” pink
foam holding up the
previously built hillside,
to receive the pink foam
board that would sup-
port Laceyville.
38. Once the foam board
was down, I added a layer
of 2” florist’s foam and
began to position the
houses on this street. Note
the prototype photos in the
foreground. I took those
on a visit to Laceyville with
an eye towards locating
each house in terms of
37
38
elevation from the street,
and to provide model
builder Rich Cobb with
what he needed to recre-
ate this residential area.
I think he did a great job
capturing the essence of
the area – instant town!
It would have taken me
months to build all those
houses, assuming I would
even get to it, so having
Rich build these was well
worth it.
