Found these images of the first day I ever came out to the club's field in Apr.2021. Very hard to recognize now

Great setup, especially the mix of hard surface and open country running areas. I'll need to get a road trip planned for one day.

It's the way they get rid of the excess Tigers.

Club member Wojtek who builds all our stone/concrete buildings just completed a couple of new buildings and a roof on another. They look so good I felt they needed posting. Plus we changed the ruined castle complex with proper rock face and a much higher and wider road under the arched bridge. Even the Jagdtiger with commander made it through easily. No hope with an antenna attached :haha:

Do you pick it all up, leaving just the "landscaping" when the club is not actively present?

The concrete/stone structures are left out. One of the reasons why we are transitioning to them. There are a lot more buildings/guns/static models like half tracks and the aircraft but yes they are put out and then stored back in the trailer at the start/end of meet days. We are also slowly trying to move to real trees in some of the areas to replace the Christmas tree fake ones. Just in the areas where we have basically decided that they will be heavily treed and will be the final layout as you can see in those images. For instance that new house with the green roof will have 4 cedars planted to it's left to transition that area into a more wide open section
