Besides what Jude said (anyone can build one), I think the 48x48
footprint is helping speed the process because it limits the more
advanced builders.  Before, you'd get started on a project, and keep
building, and making it bigger, and adding more areas, and keep
building, and etc.  With the Moonbase, each 48x48 area is one unit, and
you can only build what you can build in that one unit.

Heh, I find it limits us in quite the opposite way - I've never built
anything near the size of a 48x48 baseplate!  It's quite a challenge for me
to get all the pieces I need.  Actually, I'm building mine in stages: design
one part, put it into LDraw, design the next part, put that into LDraw...

Definitely a worthy challenge though!
