Folks,
Be gentle :-)  This is my 1st post (other than the balls on checker board).
I offer for your interest and comments.   Originally I was going to create a
"God" like scene.  This would have been God's workbench with packets of
people, plans and animals in the scene.  But when I reached this point, I
felt I wanted to leave it as it was.  I may come back to that idea in the
future.

Neil

Clever. =) Why is there no paint on the paintbrush?

Nice idea and well executed. If you wanted to add to it,
maybe some "cloud white" paint?

Very nice idea. I am a bit surprised by the fact that on the flat
maps your pieces correspond roughly to continents, except that
you have (most of) the US as piece #9 and not the entire North America.
Are you a US citizen perhaps?

I am also not sure about the relative sizes of the US and Africa.
The US is probably a bit too big. Are you a US citizen perhaps?

Do you have your gletchers ready when you start creating Africa?

On a flat square map the countries far from the equator are always to 
big. The piece for the US is thus to large to fit on that globe, it also 
should be bent. On the same maps, Europe, Australia, Canada and Rusia... 
are also to big.

God's workbench?  Or perhaps it's Slartibartfast's.

Looking at the box, this suggests that this is the assembly kit for 
Earth #1 not Earth #2 ;-)
