    Do you plan on making the layout modular (divisible into sub sections) ?
    That would make the transport and display at exhibitions much easier, and need to be thought before starting building.

    Your mini layout shows how smart Lego is designed. 5 bricks are as high (ignoring the studs) as 6 bricks are wide. Divided by 3, 5 plates are as high (again, ignoring the studs) as 2 bricks are wide. A brick resting sideways on the studs of the baseplate is as high as a bricks standing upright on the baseplate (you guessed it, ignoring the studs).

But one day my sister let two kids she was babysitting come over and play with it and they took everything apart and destroyed the whole city. I was so devastated I never had the will power to try and put it back together plus alot of the parts were missing and so were the instructions.

    It looks great on the slope and the bricks look like cracks in the road

    Honestly man, I was having a really shitty day and just wanted to watch some youtube and turn the world off. This popped in my recommended and, me loving legos, I decided to watch. Instantly calmed me down. Really interesting to watch how these city displays are built and I love all the insight you provide as to why or how you designed/built things the way they are.
