I think grey is a good starting point for City Life, Mark, and as you say green can be added afterwards, maybe even as late as Friday using emulsion or acrylics.

On the large train layout that Glazz had on display in Seattle most of the city sections are grey. The exception is an area with houses and the garden center that is green. You might paint it grey, then have some green construction paper or cloth sections that can be laid down in places.

The green construction paper or cloth is a good idea, Tim.

Hi guys

Good suggestions.  I am thinking of treating the baseboards as a backround to the sets on display, rather that major works in their own right.  I don't think I have the time do much more.  On this basis a grey base and then some late additions of green would fit the bill.  I like Tiermann's suggestion of paper or cloth.  A couple of yards of green baize material might be good if can get some.  (I know a couple of shops to try.)

I had a thought today and acted upon it.  The Scout Hut has a TV and dvd player.  I have seen Playmobil commercials on the TV so I dropped an e-mail to Jamie at Playmobil asking if he had any TV ads on dvd.  He is sending a disc in the post.

I agree, it is a good idea. 
Sounds like everything is going to plan with the boards, I think you're right about them just being a 'background' everyone will have eyes only for the Playmobil, not what it's stood on.

My press release on the Knaresborough Playmoil Exhibition has appeared in the Knaresborough post - my local weekly newspaper - today.

I have had to reduce the quality to get a version that can be up loaded here.  I hope you can make it out.  I will attach the photo separately when I figure out how to reduce it to under 100kb.
