(...) Indeed, since a peasant trying to buy armor or a sword would likely pay an arm and a leg (literally! and maybe his head, too, in the bargain), I'd say these items were "unaffordable." Bear in mind that the Dungeons & Dragons world, in which (...) (27 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.org.us)

(...) Hmm... a nice grassy knoll might look kinda cool... I might be able to do something like that too... Not really sure... I don't have THAT many green bricks, but I do have a few hundred (that's with 1x1's too, I'd guess)... I might be able to (...) (27 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.org.us)

It might be worthwhile posting some of the ideas here to lugnet.castle. I don't think it's wise to crosspost the whole discussion because it would get sidetracked, but there have been some great ideas flying about which I happen to be catching (...)

(...) I don't know that we have any standards but there seem to be a lot of the 16x32 tan baseplates around (I have at least 10 and I think Dave said he has a similar number). I think these work well for building the town on. It gives a more worn (...) (27 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.org.us)

This was being discussed in loc.us.nj.tre and loc.us.ny.ny but I thought I'd crosspost to org.us: Ed Jones has suggested the last weekend of January for a Legofest at his house. This would be the first organized meeting of Lego fans in the NYC area, (...) (27 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.nj.new, lugnet.loc.us.nj.tre, lugnet.loc.us.ny.ny)

(...) And standards. Do we want to use thin or thick baseplates? And should each 'unit' have a standard size so that we can fit them together easily? I guess we could use mixtures of thin and thick plates to show that the land isn't perfectly (...) (27 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.org.us)

(...) I used red 1x2 plates, red 1x1 round plates, etc in my butcher's shop. Of course, I was also constrained by space (trying to showhorn them into the windshield-coolers)... Bigger pieces of meat might well be appropriate for a medieval setting. (...) (27 years ago, 4-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.org.us)

(...) Just thinking on this-- a side of ham-- a brown 2x2 cylinder, a 1x1 brown cylinder, and a 1x1 round plate for the 'bone' coming out of the bottom (or top) of the 2x2 cylinder... I wonder if that would come out looking in any way like a slab of (...) (27 years ago, 4-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.org.us)

Ok, so far (although recently it looks like the conversation has died down) we've seemed to agree that we'd probably at least like a castle and a town for the NELUG castle display at the Construction Site (see prior messages for history).. To date, (...) (27 years ago, 4-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.org.us)

There are some other pretty neat people who are under 18 like yourself who could contribute well to a LUG. But then again, some (...) (27 years ago, 3-Jan-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.people)

I am thinking creating a group called KID LEGO USERS GROUP. It would be for kids 7-17 because im 14 and i can't join my local Lego User Group. We wouldn't have meetings where we go to some one's house and have fests. Instead we would have meeting in (...) (27 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.org.us)
