Tip:

Check the housewares section of a supermarket of department store for wooden cutting boards. That's right, cutting boards. Get the clear-varnished ones. They're inexpensive and come in several shapes and sizes and are great when used as-is or landscaped to match your model. Some boards have a hole drilled near one edge for hanging in the kitchen. Simply insert a dowel cut to length to fill the hole.
