Most of what can be seen in the pics is scale 4 (natural) and scale
3
(1/2" 45deg), but I also have a few pieces in scale 1 and scale 2. I
buy a
few pieces every few months and generally get more 3 & 4 than anything
else,
but I find a few pieces in the other scales help to break up the
monotony.
Since I mostly run in 1/72 ground/vertical scale, I don't count
"levels."
Having that "level 3" on one side being a different height than the
"level 3"
on the other side, just adds to the realism. BTW, I'm planning on
bringing a
few pieces of my War Zone GTS terrain to GZG-ECC III for my Pod Racing
scenario, so anyone can take a look at it there.
