I think a walled town could be cool. If we were aiming for jeff's suggested
16 baseplates, I think we'd need at least 8 people or so, depending on how
much stuff people were prepared to build and take with them. If there isn't
enough interest, maybe we could just do a village, and drop the wall. If
there is a lot of interest, the walled town could perhaps include a castle
as well.
At this point, there doesn't seem to be much interest, which is too bad. Are
people just not interested in doing a big modular MOC, or are you guys not
yet sure if you will be able to attend? C'mon guys, let' hear from more of
you castleheads who are coming to Brickfest!

I like that dimension myself, it allows people to to use wall sections, if
they want to. But if people are worried about not being able to bring that
much with them, we could just do a standard classic castle dimension wall. I
know it is kind of puny by the standards of many of our MOCs, but it is just
about high enough not to look really bad.
what do you guys think?
