My how time flys, I found little of it to spend on the layout over the summer.
I know the golden rule is to not make the bench work deeper than one can reach. I made that mistake in both corners! I corrected one of the corners by moving the backdrop away from the wall allowing access to the back of the loop and one end of the staging.
As for more of an official update:
I am closing in on finishing the bench work, only need a few more boards. also a few more sets of lights and then I will be done with bench work and lighting! In the meantime work will commence on the backdrop.
