I also had a duct on the other side of the room that spoiled photo angles in the area:

I built up another Kingmill flat to cover this a little, at least:

Now I can start playing around with some new camera angles:

I'm leaning toward discontinuing updates to this thread and instead, continuing to post layout progress and other features on the blog in the link below. In any case, I will probably be posting less on this and other forums and concentrating my efforts on the blog.
