Well, IANAL, but I would think that by putting the step-by-step directions on a public website you're encouraging people to build a globe of their own. (Great model, btw - I might have to build one!)

I don't recall having seen any Star Wars vignettes (well other than the storyteller sets), so I thought I'd try doing some of my own.

Hi, I have a baseplate that I can't find on Lugnet or Peeron. It's 50x50, less than plate thickness (whatever the term for that is), green, and has smooth grey roads 14 studs wide. The roads enter on three of the sides, curve a bit, and meet close (...) (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.general)
