the aerial image I got from Google Earth I could barley see the
track or queue layout but with the 3-D Birds eye view I can
practically hover right over it, thanks for the link!

entire MK layout on Illustrator like I have been doing. After a lot
of thinking and even at one point ready to throw in the towel, I
have decided to create the model 6' X 6' and using the castle as the
main point just build around from there if I scale my drawing to 6'
X 6' on illustrator I can then go and measure on the computer and it
will tell me the measurements in area. The only thing I am going
to "fudge" is going to have to be the heights, because I am not to
sure of heights for the not so coon buildings (main street
buildings, fantasy land buildings, etc.). As for detailing my model,
this gets a little crazy here, my fiance has a side business for
custom cakes and she works a lot with Fondant which is like an
edible clay, she has all sorts of tools and molds that she uses and
I decided to take that same approach and use fondant for my MK
model, I will make my own trees, buildings,

> roads, etc. I eventually will like to ass LED's and add lights to

it but that's down the line.
