    I am newly interested in building modular City/Town MILS baseplate vignette displays at the 16×16 size. I believe that this size is a low stress entry point for those unfamiliar with MILS and/or the City/Town style.

    This size lends itself to the Xtra line quite well, and every City/Town needs some small green spaces where figs can interact doing small things or just relaxing.

    I have 8 16×16 baseplates I’m DNG that I can use for City/Town and/or Space. These, placed end to end, can cover 64 studs, or bracket a large 32 stud wide area on both sides.

    Give me some thoughts and ideas for connectivity and display interest. I know already that I want to do a fountain with some benches, some trees, and a food cart.

    @zaximillian, can you provide representative images of this concept?

    Hi Rich. I happen to be doing these in my city. Here are some photos.

    I altered the pizza shop and then built then altered the arcade from the 3:1 – still working on the roof.

    Hope you like it.

    I love this idea! With a little modification I could bring my rebus up to the MILS standard. Gotta have a little community theater, plus a place to make a wish.

    Those 8x8s are a really nice start, and both are good ideas for sure. I’ll try NOT to do these two things to avoid duplication in a collaborative display.

    I do! I happen to have some stickers and lettering tiles that might help. We should collaborate on buildings, as I have two City Pizza vans, for example, and wanted to build a pizza shop of my own too, and could take inspiration from what you’re doing.

    Greg, I’ve lost track of the Xtra sets I wanted to use for my vignette. As soon as I find it, I’ll build the rest of the 16×16 up.

    Here’s my first one, which will be at the Trolley Museum display, called “Skeleton’s Garden”
