(URL) The first in a new project, I'm starting. There are so many people making Medieval villages, and modern cities. And since I'm living in a wild west town now, I thought I'd try my hand with a western town. I hope to have a whole little town set (...)

(...) Nice thought; you could photograph it in wide (16:9) mode and just rescale it to normal(4:3) proportions to get a "real" scale model image :-) Play On! Olof (21 years ago, 11-Aug-05, to lugnet.build)

Yes, that is the direction I was wondering in. My big problem is joints: say I have a building that is 52 studs long. For carrying, it could divide into two near the middle, but that makes for the ugliest joint. I have tried to hide the joint next (...) (21 years ago, 9-Aug-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

What are some techniques you use when building a large MOC for display at a show? For instance, with a tall building, do you build it in separable sections and how? For an extensive landscape, do you agonize over how to choose the baseplates so that (...) (21 years ago, 7-Aug-05, to lugnet.build)
