So Robin, what you're saying is that we should build buidings for
specific exact places on the layout, eg a space 26x18 studs (just for
teh sake of an example). I guess that means someone building it on a
baseplate at home, peeling the baseplate off the bottom and sitting it
in place on the layout, then doing exterior accessories (gardens etc) in
situ. Is that what you're envisaging?
That would certainly allow us to pack the most onto the layout but I do
have reservations... I think it reduces our flexibility to rearrange
things if what we've planned doesn't look right when we set it up (and I
think that is likely to happen) and it's awkward building-wise. Means a
lot of accessorising needs to be done during the setup too.
Maybe we could take "chunks" of baseplate real estate (which might cover
1 or 2 or 1 1/2 32x32 baseplates) and get one person to handle the whole
chunk, including building over joins and exterior accessories.
What does everyone think? We need to settle this and get building!
