Oh geez, that makes me DROOL.  My black pyramid will stop at 33 layers
(66x66), so that 64x64 will be inset one stud to make it "float".  A • single
baseplate, rather than 4 32x32s would be SO nice.

With all the various nostalgia coming up, one thing that came to mind
was an educational kit we used in Junior High. It was a study of the
growth of a city (Seatle WA as it turned out). A large (64x64) green
baseplate with painted on blue for the harbor and lake was the basis.

Oops, you can suck your drool back in...  I got carried away in thinking
about the size, I think it was only the standard large plate 48x48... (I
just somehow thought that the large plate must be 64x64 since the medium
plates are 32x32...)

Speaking of nostalgic baseplates ... when I was a kid I had two large baseplates that were green and had grey roads on them. The roads had some turns in them although they were not at right angles and there were three exit points from the baseplate. (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)
