| Hi There,
I have a lego model with the dimensions 64 X 32. I am finding it a bit difficult
to work out what the best baseplate options are in terms of cost.
Do people think in general its to better to do larger base plates or smaller?
Thanks

If you plan to MOVE the model or pack it up to take to an event or show, it may
be a good idea to build your model in two pieces on two 32 x 32 baseplates.
Also, many builders now use a modular-type system using reinforced baseplates
that also raises up all models. For example, a base of one brick and one plate
height with all models built on top of that. It is called the MILS System.

| Two 32 x 32 baseplates side by side - baseplates are extra flexible, incase that
makes any difference.

| Do not upscale your model by 50% and use 48x48 baseplates!@#$
