Why, what better place than the place I saw evidence of TLC employees
mutilating brick? On the tour of the model shop, we were shown models
under repair that had mutilated bricks (some not even really necessary,
like cutting a brick or plate to a smaller available size). The
Carlsbad model builders indicated though that they were proud that they
built models without the need for mutilation.

Based on the experience at NWBrickCon, the main coordination that is
necessary is to have someone acquire space for the display. It's also
helpful to have one or two folks sort of take the lead in module
placement.
