Joe from Seoul

This may be an odd request, but could someone upload a "foot print" sketch of the finished build? I would like to assemble a base from blue, green, and grey baseplates and build on that base. I want to make sure I have water, grass, and rock in the right areas. If I can't find the foot print, I'll just build the display base after the build is done.

I am waiting to start the build until after a pending move. I won't start until June. My plans start with a plexiglass base that will be enclosed in an aluminum frame. This will give me enough height to hide a battery pack under the frame and hide wiring for a light set. I will be using a mix of blue, green, and grey baseplates that will set the scene around the castle. When finished, I'll put a plexiglass cover over the finished project to protect from dust and South Korea's pollution. I have been trying to find a sketch of the finished layout to help me design the baseplate arrangement. I may just have to wait until I finish the build, then design the base and place the assembled castle in place. If it goes to plan, I'll share pictures this summer.

I just left the Lego "discount" outlet near Yongsan. I saw a couple of sets with those plastic coverings, but there didn't seem to be a pattern. Higher price point sets were in their regular boxes, but relatively inexpensive sets had the plastic outer box added. Maybe there less problem with pilferage from the larger sets?

If you are in Seoul, there is a shop claiming to be a "Lego Outlet" in Ichon Dong. They are just outside Yongsan's gate 13. Not so much an outlet as a toy store that has a lot of Lego product. Prices are higher than Amazon or Lego on-line, but they have the benefit of being close.
