Wow!  The map looks huge on my screen, it must look gigantic in person.  The
boundary lines between states look very smooth and fluid.

One of the benefits of building big is the pixellation of the edges between
the states is minimized.  That, and I spent a great deal of time while I was
making the images tweaking the borders so they looked good.


It would be very neat to see at the various conventions.  Since I won't be
at them, I guess I would fit into
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/tremor/Sculpture/map/map_10.jpg this image.

If I really felt the urge to get crazy, I could start populating it now with
dots from lugnetters.  I'm not feeling that crazy right now, though :)


Very creative method of attaching the baseplates.

Thanks.  I knew I had to make this transportable, so ease of disassembly was
a prime concern.  This technique worked out very well.  Plus, it looks
pretty cool when the pieces are separated :)


The image of the stacked sections really illustrates how large this must
really be.

Yeah, it's almost a cube of solid bricks :)

Great job,
