There seems to be a small amount of interest. If there is not enough for a large display, we can always adjust or downscale so we still have something.

The other option to consider is doing something inspired by the Rebel LUG Archipelago collaboration, which were essentially a bunch of…Read more

I’ve got a sealed Books Are My Passion GWP for sale. Asking 65 for it, which is a bit below bricklink market price for the sealed set. Can do pick up or pass off to a third party at Brickfair VA next weekend, or can ship if shipping is paid for and a label sent over.

Got two buildings to finish and the front third of a space ship… if I finish the boathouse to go with your Great Hall I’ll be amazed as I haven’t started it yet… should probably get on that.

@argonvesher you wondering about the spacing issue is more generous than mine… I just assumed ineptitude.

I can coordinate with Tim separately for spacing if that’s what it comes to.

@Tim, did you still want to maybe collaborate a little bit and I build a boathouse?
