Clipboard and James Bond

In the James Bond movie Thunderball, he visits the Kiss Kiss Club.  It is on the beach, in Nassau, in the Bahamas.  https://jamesbond.fandom.com/wiki/Kiss_Kiss_Club  Here is a link to more information on the club.  I decided that the club could be useful in spy games, Batman 66, low intensity conflict games, and Beach Party games.  While the club is fictional, I want to make a model of it that reflects the look of the club without spending too much time and money.  I use a simple clipboard to help keep my research together.
I got a pack of clipboards at Staples.  I choose to keep the plastic wrap on the clipboard as it is smooth, so I can write on it easily, and will help to keep the clipboard dry and stain free.  
My intention is to keep all of my notes and other papers in one place so that I can refer to them easily, without having to have the space of a binder and to be able to re-sort the papers as needed.
I made a number of screen captures, printed them out and use them as reference.  I made maps of the club and determined how to make the furnishings, the buildings and even the trees and the signage.  You can see this little note below that is on the top of the clipboard.  It is a plan for the entrance and rest room area.  The red thing is little plastic jewels that I will use on the lighting, and below that the black rectangle is a photo of the club that I downloaded.
This is were I am at in the construction of the club.  This is a diagram of how I intend to make the front entrance ticket booth and the rest rooms.  I am using two of the little tiki bars that I got from Dollar Tree more than a year ago, before I even planned this project.  I keep 3x5 cards and pens around the house in case the muse strikes me.  Often I wake up at night and jot a note or two, then the next day I spend a long time trying to figure out what I wrote.
