I built a little stand for a 64×64 mosaic, which will result in 64 8×8 sections. I figure that’s a good number to go with since I’m only there for 4 hours.

The only problem is that I’m going to use our 1×1 plates.

I assume you may have those @watchwmarcella since it says you are allowed to share them with us?

It sounds like a name shift right now, just pulling it all under one unified thing. While we can continue to call ourselves a LUG, to Lego, that’s not what we are anymore unless I’m…Read more

Not just for the LUG recognition, but I’m sure Mark from Home and Garden would love to say he has award winning displays at his event. I would think that goes for any venue or event we’re a part of.
