Why has no company come out with a baseplate that is the height of a MILS plate with 2 holes on each side? It would be easy money and would be a win for the community.
Good point! Lego purists might not buy it though. Would save time, although I quite enjoy building MILS plates, I find it quite relaxing! Maybe I’m weird.
I just use the 16x16 technic bricks (4 of them with 12 pins; 3 on each union), price difference isn't much. To connect moduules however I do only use 2 pins and for roads and... well, whenever I don't want a bulding on top, I use this pattern you shared.
I decided to build my modular on MILS plate as its easier to start off with them than convert later. But it’s much cheaper and quicker to use 16 x 16 plate so that’s what I’ve done. However I did plan to use a lighting kit and worried I’ve made a mistake now?
It sure is quicker and cheaper that way. I don’t think it would prevent you adding lights. I guess if needed you could always remove the modular from the MILS plate and replace one of the 16x16 with smaller plates.
Do you mean instead of the 4x4plates? No, 32x32 baseplates don’t have the connection points underneath for the studs to fit into. If you don’t want access for lighting cables you could use 4 16x16 plate on top which would save time and probably money
Thanks for the input Patrick but the term barista is gender-neutral. Its etymology comes from the Italian word "barista," which means a bartender. In Italian it is only gender specific in the plural, either baristi (male) or bariste (female).
@BrickheadBarista I'll be damned!...You're right! I guess I better pass the correction along to my old high school English teacher. 😆 Who says a dude can't learn something new. Thanks my man 👍

Thank you for detailed tutorial with parts number too!
No problem!
Great video. Thanks for sharing

Yeah, lots of different methods that will achieve a similar result.
Keep up the good work mate😊
Thanks! I will do!
Awesome vids !!
Thank you!

I've seen others use this same method. couldn't you just use another 32 x 32 baseplate on top or am I missing something?

@@BrickheadBarista Thank you so much! Never quite understood all that!
Could you use 1X2 blocks on the perimeter instead of the 2X2?
Yes that would work!
We’re do you get your loose bricks from, trying to find the best place in uk?
Hi, I usually use Bricklink and sometimes Brickowl. I also keep an eye on Facebook Marketplace
@@BrickheadBarista that’s great thank you and thanks for the video on MILS plates and how to build the roads on them, really helpful 😁
@@Yorkie_brick No problem. I also have a video of how to use Bricklink if you’re new to it
@@BrickheadBarista oh that’s great am new to buying loose, as am trying to get pieces ready to build a city
Just gonna be that guy for a sec.
Barista is the female equivalent of a baristo.
Knowledge is power my friends. 😊
