That is 6 feet wide, so I should have easily 4-5 feet of the building. It is quite large, but I’m not planning a ‘replica’ per se. I’d like to get...

I know I should plan the layout before making the benchwork, but in my case I couldn’t get a sense for what I was going to end up with without...
To close the loop on this (pun slightly intended) I’m going to start with the enlarged water wings above and make the benchwork...
