I believe that Marc posted a street scene of the Mended Drum in Moray

Strata was published two years before the Discworld series started. It
is set in a parallel universe very similar to our own. The main action
is set on a Discworld surrounded by a sphere of stars. Planets, a small
moon and small sun orbit it. It is an artefact and the elephants and
turtle are mentioned as part of a religion. (I've just finished
re-reading it. (I'm not a geek, you know ;-) )

I was unaware of Strata, which explains my ignorance.
Indeed, Marc modelled an Ankh-Morpork street scene some years ago :-)

Do you still have this scene laying around? Could you maybe render a spherical
projection from somewhere between the ring and the star for me? I would like to
use the render as a background for the space video game Homeworld 2.
Thanks!

I certainly have the scene available, somewhere covered in dust. I shall
see what I can do. There may be some issues if I remember correctly.
