Oooh, a blank canvas - and I'm waiting for 'double points' to purchase for the fun-land theme area. I'd think a down-facing pico over each of the moving "seats" animals (as to eliminate any shadows…

Brilliant - I'd not yet considered a plate-spacing for underneath wiring, but that makes sense, and also gives me the plate-height to then also build up a tile ballroom floor on the inside side.…
