Hi Chris, The standard is currently green; however we wanted it to be as flexible as possible. I am sure that it would be okay to use a tan plate if you "greened" up the edges where it would meet the other shops. The main idea is getting together (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)

Just to further comment (while still agreeing with Josh)... The other reason we did choose green as the standard, was because we knew green is the color most commonly found on a baseplate. While our motives were quite the opposite of pleasing just (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Josh, Along Chris's line of thinking -- there are a lot of sets from recent years with 16x32 tan or brown baseplates - anyone that collects the original Adventurers or Wild West series has a truck load of them, myself included. I can't think of (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)

Just to comment even more (while agreeing with Josh and Jeremy)... One could presume that any market stalls with worn tan paths would be those that are doing the most business with mini-figure patrons. As long as the builder provides a compatible (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hi, I realize I'm a bit late to disagree, but I would prefer green baseplates under the stores (16x16 or16x32) but then lay tan plates down as the road. That way we would have full baseplate use and the trodden road many have been asking for. (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)

Snip Great Marketplace Idea; I just have one concern, isn't a 2x wide alleyway just too narrow for a minifig???? The only way to get around this problem is to join the shops using 2x2 tiles, so that the minifigs can be placed at a slight angle. I (...) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hey Dan, A 2x alley is a bit narrow, but there was some concern about making the building space to small. I prefer a 4 stud alley, so I have built my shops (which will be posted soon, I hope) with a 2 stud back offset which gives the wider alley. It (...) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)
