Me too. I know some people have really big stuff, but I'm not one of them. I
don't even have that many baseplates.
Geez, I never realized people have *such* big collections. Jeff S.'s castle is
80x80... Mike Ulring's is a full 512x512?!?! I didn't have enough bricks to
complete my 48x32 castle. Wow.

I agree. The point is, once you get pictures of a building, you can post it
up, with as much or as little detail you have... theoretically, people can
only make the front of their castle, I guess... And then you can take it
apart - unless, of course, you want to shoot future 'scenes' in it. You could
always make instructions or the like to rebuild it later.
Just 2 cents, for those of us who don't have much more [money/space/time] to
spend on their lego castles.
