Backscene in Place

So late last night I finally plucked up courage to put in the "proper" backscene.

For an off the shelf commercial product I think it fits quite well with the layout. I messed up the clearance for the lid, which means it is best not viewed from low angles, and as the photos show I need to roller over it again to get rid of a couple of ripples that emerged as I bent it to fit. Overall though I'm pleased with the result. It looks better in the flesh than in the photos.

With the backscene in place I can now start adding the real scenic work, starting from the back of the diorama and working to the front.
