The back wall of the "office" is open (it's a child's play set), so I had to put in a paper wall to ever so slightly increase the realism.https://valeriebonham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/east-german-border.jpgThe East German border with West GermanyThe red and white barriers are reminiscent of the barriers that were on the actual border before the German Reunification. Off to the left is the train station -- track numbers, schedules, and a map -- which usually wasn't so close to the border, but my table top has limited real estate.https://valeriebonham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/leaving-after-body-discovery.jpgAfter finding the bodyThe main character had errands to run. The other office members were left to talk to the police after the military police gave her permission to leave.https://valeriebonham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/office-scene.jpgThe conclusion of the office scene.A colleague of my brown-haired main character tells her how he overheard what the red-head said. The colleague has his name taped on his back as the other characters do. That way, they don't get mixed up with each other.https://valeriebonham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/overall-scene.jpgThe main working area for the stories.The apartment building is to the left, with an office area in front of it. The office and its garages (which doubles as offices when needed) are in the center. The Border is behind them. Above it all is the castle on the hill, which also looks down on the church across from the office. The church bell takes getting used to for the story characters.https://valeriebonham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/picnic02.jpgThe picnic sceneThe office is having a picnic for the U.S. Bicentennial.
