Thank you for the kind comments, likes and thumbs!
I wasn't really aiming for anything quite so specific (anything vaguely looking like a rock would have been fine) but to my eye it's perhaps more Massif Central, especially once I've added a bit of greenery to the nooks and crannies and the flatter bits.
Well...um...to be honest, I'm doing a lot of this by the seat of my pants.
I experimented with the lightstrip mounted horizontally to the 'ceiling' and vertically to the inside face of the front fascia. I preferred it mounted horizontally as it provided the most illumination to the very front of the layout which is really where most of the 'action' is going to take place.
There's nothing about this in the Neopixel strip's specification sheet but a couple of replies in one of the Arduino forums state the beam angle, as I know it, is 120degrees.
Massif Central or Jura?

...I presume this was part of the development and design?

As for the lighting strip itself will this be mounted directly to the 'ceiling' or will you angle it

Does the lighting strip tell you the angle of light dispersion e.g. 30 deg, 60 deg..
