If you have a raised baseplate, one with paint, or a singe or multi-piece boat
hull, for example, you can look through a page of pictures of pieces like that
to determine to what set it belongs.  (It's easier to use than to explain.)
This started as a collection of Brickshelf pages for my own use, and I've
finally got it cleaned up enough for public consumption.  Please have a look
and tell me what I've missed (I'm sure there are some things) or any other
comments you may have.  Hope it's found to be useful!

Cool resource. :)

Could it be that the useful of a resource is directly proportional to the
number of nits that people immediately post about it?  If so, I'm about to
add to the usefulness-index of the Baseplate Finder...

You might want to change the verbiage at the top of each page.  Right now,
you're claiming that you've got "all" sets indexed.

Did you notice there are two versions of the Crater Baseplate?  The version
in 6195 (Neptune's Discovery Lab) have studs in the craters.  The earlier
sets do not have studded craters.

You might link to Partsref images (where possible) to clearly illustrate
the baseplates under discussion.  Then again, this might be overkill.
