How big do you guys make your islands? I'm looking at using 32x32 baseplates

   Ideally you use actual island baseplates.  Granted, this may
   be difficult or impossible nowadays--but I remember we had
   islands of all sizes, some 16x16, some 16x32, some 32x32.  It
   is, as always, governed by what you want to be on the island.
   BTW, 8x32 tan baseplates from 6444 make excellent sandbars and
   reefs!

   I'm hoping to put together a fairly large island this time
   around, built of bricks on four 32x32 blue baseplates, but we
   shall see...

   BTW:  Ought we go looking for a big blue plastic tarpaulin
   (that sort of recyclable-bag plastic consistency?) to lay
   down if there's no carpet on the floor?  I'd contribute a
   few bucks to such a buy.  Of course, if we have blue, grey,
   or green carpet in situ, we're OK already...but is there any
   carpet in the venue under discussion?

   best
