I put together a diagram of the bases so we can use the materials in the most efficient way. I taped the diagram to the whiteboard in studio but I may make a digital one and amend this post with it later.
Basically it says this:
-The entire model will be divided into 4 smaller models that represent a quadrant.
-Quadrant=60"x56". Half (east and west)=60"x112"
-Chipboard=28"x44"
--We will need to crop all 16 base sheets that cover the foamcore to 30"x28" so as to have 4 equal pieces within each quadrant.
-Foam core=20"x30"
--We will need to crop only 8 sheets of foam core to 16"x30".
As a side note, the chipboard cropping will leave us with 16-14"x28" sheets (of one-ply, i think). just a heads up in case we can use those to print other stuff on.
Tonight I am going to print out the model on tabloid to use as a guide for laying down the blocks.
cool thanks,

Don't forget that you need to design/build a "plug" for your interventions. Also, someone needs to buy braces (wood slats most likely) before the bases go together.
One thing to consider is whether or not your monument is wholy vertical in its execution. Does some or part of your design spread out across or perhaps "down"? This will affect how the site model is built so I suggest that you at least keep it in mind...
whatever you do, I caution against simply making a form and plunk it down on the existing landscape.
