– I’m counting 125 green squares, which is a lot. Are the people whose names are on the diagram prepared to handle 16 baseplates each, or are we in danger of biting off more than we can chew? Example: Ben’s section on the diagram shows 16 baseplates, but in his post he mentioned doing 4. Not saying anyone should be expected to do more than he or she is willing / capable of (based on inventory & build time, not dissing anyone’s skill); just saying we need to make sure (sooner rather than later) that we’re really capable of filling that many baseplates.
Remember that not every square (which does represent a baseplate) needs to actually be a real baseplate. It is ok to have some tablecloth showing (note: we need to buy white sheets/table clothes). Most of the train track can just be laid on the table cloth directly, although per the Polar Express picture Greg just posted, it would be neat to have at least 6-8 baseplates of “snowy forest” for the Polar Express to run through.
