Well, I think I better scale myself down and go for 3 modules instead
of 6. I'll try to fit our stuff into the 3 remaining modules in the lower
right of the layout.
If I had money and time to spare, I'd go ahead with my grandiose
mountain layout, but alas, I think I better stick to what I have.
I ordered a bunch or dark grey bulk packs last month, 5 packs of 2x4
(x50 pcs), and 2 packs of 1x2 (x100 pcs), but that only did the outside
wall of one 48x48 stud baseplate, BURP's included. So I'll try putting
this on the corner and then maybe we can do some town layout on the
remaining 2 modules. How much can the rest of you ParLUGment'ers
fill up?
Anyways, just for curiosities sake, here's what I'd hoped to build. The
green plates represent the general area the the mountain was supposed
to cover. It had a max height of 20 at the crossover. Maybe some day
I'll be able to complete it. Here it is:

And then my toned down layout, with an airport thrown in for filler:

Play well.

I should put out a new module map with that change, but you can still take three modules without the corner, there'll probably be balancing out on the other side. I should probably ask (...)
