.JPG "the original concept of having the polymen laid out on a flat plinth was modified when the gallery produced various heights of plinths and some mini-plinths"){kind=small}
.JPG "we soon started to envison the \"assent\" ascending up various levels via ramps and bridges. we then also considered a ramp around the outside of the plinth with the polymen coming from a \"doorway\" out of the plinth. here we are using a 30 degree angle ramp (wood coloured) that turned out to be too steep and we played around with an idea to have the polymen drop off the top into a pile - lemming style..."){kind=small}
.JPG "with a bit more thought - we moved the portal futher around the plinth with ramps on 3 sides of the tallest one, we also modified the ramp angle and moved on from a lemming type ending for these little guys"){kind=small}
