Currently, I am trying to find some Horse=related sets in LUGNET Marketplace.
But, this post is not about that. Rather, I have a plan with those sets.
I'm thinking of assembling the sets (or any open, loose, complete ones I can
find) into a countryside scence. You know, one set here, another here, a few
here.
I'm trying to write down my ideas and to use my Model Railroading skills to
accomplish this. I will try to make a tabletop, paint it green, and then
systematiclly mark where things like roads, water and the various sets will be
put.
But, i'm finding problems.
First, I want the table to be protable, but I don't want to attach the core
sets (i.e. ones that are on baseplates or are buildings) onto the table. BUT,
I don't want the respective sets to move about the table should someone hit
the table by accident.
And, what about putting trees, flowers, and geologic features? Glue them on or
use something else?
Any help will be appriciated.

| I have a couple of potential ideas. I'm assuming that it is ok to "modify" the table top, but you'd prefer not to mess up the LEGO sets. If you have a large flat piece (like a base plate with a building, trees, or horses), then you can put screws in (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

| (...) A 1x1 round plate will fit in a 1/4" diameter hole nicely. This will allow trees and flowers to be placed on the board in various places for a more natural look. Just drill holes where you want to place your items. You could also use peg (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

| I have thought about the possibility of building such a table. Being an ex-model railroader myself, I would probably build the landscape out of plaster-coated mesh (adding paint and grass afterwards). I thought it would be a good idea to embed green (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

| (...) How about gluing "sacrificial" pieces onto the table. Green 1x6 plates, or such like (now that they are more common!) could be glued onto the table where you want to locate a baseplate. Then, take a 2x4 plate, and attach it on top of the 1x6 (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)
