I'm not generally in favour of the 'work-in-progress' layout at shows; it's like a half written song. Here's a new song folks, we've not written the chorus yet, but here's a few lines from the second verse.' ...nah. All this means that I'm working at getting everything done by the bar the human figures which will have to wait. However the ground is all covered, the trestles have been altered with a couple of battens and The emulsion queen in the shape of Mrs. F. jumped in and painted the fascia while I was out making a noise. Nos da.
The trick with an unfinisedh layout is not to pretend it is finished. Make a point of talking to people and explaining the techniques you have used. Maybe even type up a few labels and stick them on things to make the point clear.
