Model Railway Construction: Ply Sandwich Baseboard Supports via Cardboard Aided Design

Building baseboard frames to close the gap in the upper levels at Dongits Model Railway.

I'm making some complex shapes to support the upper levels, using a technique christened by the internet as "Cardboard Aided Design". Using cardboard templates allows both a rapid iteration on the design and a level of testing before cutting into potentially expensive materials.
