Regarding a layout in general, my opinion would be to go GMLTC style with
the modules (3 48x48 baseplates by 2 in area, build up the modules 26 studs
high I believe. That's a TON of bricks (I've helped work on a project of
that scale before) but its well worth the effect that you get. Though for
this show I understand you're trying to start something quick, but if
there's ever a serious NELTC or something to that effect in the area, GMLTC
style is the way to go.
