(...) Let's try not to muddy the waters too soon. The standard of 48x48 was set because 1) the big ol' baseplate is still generally available 2) it allows lots of building space 3) it's grey, and 4)it's easier to begin figuring out how all this will (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) And 5) I don't have any of them, and I'm not the only one. Also, they're difficult to store. My wife and I (no kids, thankfully) live in a 600 sq. ft. 2BR house (yes, I've even measured it), and have a very limited budget for LEGO. However, I (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

pardon me for poking in here, but I had another thought. if you have the parts for it, you can build a 48x48 module on a 32x32 plate... you'll end up with a lot of the module hanging off the edge, but it'll work, especially if you design it to (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
