Abstract
A terrain model board and method of construction for use with the closed circuit television display system of a vehicle simulator is disclosed. According to this invention a multiplicity of panels containing the detail of a simulated terrain are joined together in a manner which allows quick and easy disassembly of one or all of the panels. A packing strip having a cord secured to its top surface is inserted into the spaces between adjoining panels prior to filling the spaces or seams with an elastic and adhesive seam filling compound. Thus, one or more of the panels can easily be removed for repair or replacement by simply gripping the string and pulling it up and along the seam thereby cutting through the adhesive.
