After last night's meeting, I think we've hit upon a widely-approved of idea for the next BW game. A TL6 game, with a modularly-constructed layout. I'll be posting a picture of the standardized interconnections as soon as I can get them into LDRAW, (...) (22 years ago, 15-May-02, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) The first draft of the standardized doors are available: (URL) technic holes will be used to attach the sections together. Simply put, each module needs to have at least two doors, located in any of the 8 spots designated. It looks like 7 (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) I hate to be persnickity, but if we moved each door 1 stud closer to the outside corner it's nearest to, we could have multiples of 16x16 baseplates-- which may lend itself to further coolness seeing as it'd allow for 16x16, 16x32, and 48x48 (...)

(...) OOps! You're right, I actually intended to do that. Having them spaced on stud closer to the edges also ensures that there will be even spacing between doors in two modules that are side-by-side. I'll revamp the pictures this evening and (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

If only I had the extra bricks available to, I'd make some staircase modules raising up a level, along with large tiled landings to put other modules onto at that same raised level.

(...) Soooooo, how's everybody's stuff going? I still haven't updated the images on brickshelf, because I'm just that naughty, but the doors should all be moved one stud further out (i.e., away from the center of each edge).

In addition to the doors being move one closer to the edge are they also being raised one plate? I know someone mentioned it earlier.

(...) Another possibility is to build the modules atop dark grey 8x8/8x16 megabricks (suitably multiplied, of course); that would solve the odd baseplate depth problem. Yes, I know it's more expensive, but by the prevailing price for 8x16s on (...) (22 years ago, 25-May-02, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
