Hey, This looks great and I look forward to seeing the combined display. One question: The standard only talks about streets and sidewalks. What about the rest? I assume that buildings should be on 32x32 baseplates, built up to the height of the (...) (18 years ago, 27-Nov-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
