it wasn't that burdensome really. there was a P shape frame outta of 2x4's that sat on saw horses. on top was 4 pieces of 3/4 tongue and groove subfloor plywood that's visible in the above pics. all four pieces separate and store easily. the mtn's are 4 piece chunks as well, 2 bases and 2 peaks. the two bases are the beasts. although it doesn't look it, the mtn's consist of 5 sheets of 4X8 sheets of ply, jig sawed to shape and grinded to look like stone, shale, and granite. the bottom "drome bunker" is ply as well, but is table-sawed to look like metal pillar walls. it sets up ok with one guy, but two sets it up much better. all these constuction techniques have been adapted from installation art that i have made and the cabinets i build and install for a living. everything must be broken down and transported to be displayed or permanently installed. no one wants to build a beautiful boat in their basement, only to not get it out, to sail.
i have taken this apart and set it up many times. i got it down to a good science. it's all in the fastners, glues, and materials you use to make it durible for such constant disassembly and reassembly. the environment of this dio, would survive any drop test or sledge hammer test for that matter.
