Currently, I am trying to find some Horse=related sets in LUGNET Marketplace. But, this post is not about that. Rather, I have a plan with those sets. I'm thinking of assembling the sets (or any open, loose, complete ones I can find) into a (...) (24 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

I have a couple of potential ideas. I'm assuming that it is ok to "modify" the table top, but you'd prefer not to mess up the LEGO sets. If you have a large flat piece (like a base plate with a building, trees, or horses), then you can put screws in (...) (24 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

(...) A 1x1 round plate will fit in a 1/4" diameter hole nicely. This will allow trees and flowers to be placed on the board in various places for a more natural look. Just drill holes where you want to place your items. You could also use peg (...) (24 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

I have thought about the possibility of building such a table. Being an ex-model railroader myself, I would probably build the landscape out of plaster-coated mesh (adding paint and grass afterwards). I thought it would be a good idea to embed green (...) (24 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

(...) How about gluing "sacrificial" pieces onto the table. Green 1x6 plates, or such like (now that they are more common!) could be glued onto the table where you want to locate a baseplate. Then, take a 2x4 plate, and attach it on top of the 1x6 (...) (24 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)
