Hello everyone...
I have been playing with this idea for a while, and I don't remember ever
seeing someone do this before, so I thought I would toss out the idea and
see what people think.  Lots of people enjoy making up stories and telling
them with the aid of their Lego bricks, but I haven't seen anyone make a
large scale, continental map using Lego.

Shiri made her scale overhead view of her town for Castle, but I'm talking
about a much larger scale. I tip my hat in Shiri's direction as a spark for
this idea. :-)

I used to love drawing my own maps when I played Dungeons and Dragons, way
back, so this is a natural extension for me.

I made a sample and put it on my webpage:

If people like the idea, maybe we'll see some entire planets modeled in 3d
Lego...
