Can you guess what it is yet.....?

I had a delivery yesterday......

Looks a bit mysterious, doesn't it.......?

However, there's nothing even remotely mysterious about the content.

A piece of 6mm thick MDF, 50cm square.  A bargain on Ebay from a chap who sells such things as basedboards for gamers.  I had toyed with the idea of buying a full sheet from B&Q but I only needed a small piece so it was more cost effective to buy it online.

So what's it for?

The shop fronts are flush with the base of the shop, so every time I moved it, they fell off.
The easiest solution is to mount the whole thing on a baseboard, so I can easily move it to get to the electrical gubbins at the back without having to remove the fronts in case they plummet to the floor.

Of course this now provides me with a rather spacious pavement area outside the shop.  My next online foray will be to find some realistic looking cobbles or paving stones , so I can have a 'scene' going on.

Talking of scenes, the baseboard had only been in place a few minutes when I spotted a hopeful visitor waiting outside the door.

I had to explain that the shop was closed for the time being which seemed to satisfy her but she's still standing there.  She seems to be waiting for something, or someone.......
