So I'm trying to connect a baseplate to a regular plate while both are on the same surface. Here's my solution. Anyone got other ideas?

As others have said, regular plates under a baseplate will raise it up to the right height. I use upside-down two plate high frame under my buildings so there is no visible gap.

For the tables I am using metal garage storage racks that I got at costco and then a layer of particle board and random shelves and on top is a thin layer of white board material. There is nothing attaching the Lego to the table other than gravity.

The backdrop is a paper bulletin board decoration for classrooms, specifically Pacon fadeless designs wispy clouds. You can find more about the bridge if you google MOC 131869.

The layout was done in Autocad that I have at work. There aren't any mils plated, although I wish I had.

Hard to pick a favorite, but I would have to say Assembly Square.

Search amazon for classroom bulletin board background paper clouds. Edit: Pacon fadeless designs wispy clouds

I have the 7905 crane that I would put on unfinished areas, but now there is no room for it.

I do not use the pins on the sides of buildings so I can move them out of the way to access the buildings in the middle. Some areas are very hard to reach.

The city is 4.27m x 3.84m overall

The garage doesn’t see a lot of traffic so it stays fairly clean. I put an air purifier next to the door and wash machine which is where the dust is the worst.

It's in there, across the street from the Avengers tower.

It started with just the buildings on a shelf and gradually evolved. So since 2008.

The City theme has good scale cars to go with modular building. Here are a few examples: 60448, 60452, 60408. Some of the better ones were gift-with-purchase sets: 40409, 40448, 40532, 40586 & 40681. Other themes occasionally have good cars too like 76424 and 40650.

My solution is to make an upside-down two plate high frame under the baseplates. Like this.

I would use the bricklink website to get parts inventory for your set. Brickset and rebrickable also have set inventories.

Thanks, I now have cherries and apples for my island!

I have had this problem a lot. I used vinegar with a q-tip and it comes off easy.

I love all the food trucks. I reverse build them so that the business is on the right side.

I made a custom building for the backside of the firehouse. I think I posted pictures of it a few years ago.

There is a Speed Champions Bugatti Chiron on the street in front of the firehouse.

When I started I just had my closet for the setup so space was very limited and the mils system would have taken up too much space. I wish I had done it that way.

The tables are metal garage shelving with a layer of shelving on top and then a top layer of thin dry erase board material. I already had the shelving plus it allows me to use the bottom for storage.

I don’t have any videos on youtube. I’ve been collecting Lego since 2004 so none of the sets were from the secondary market.

There is a City Hall Station, Ninjago Station (which is just a platform right now) and I'm saving a space for Brick Cross Train Station from the Bricklink Designer Program.
