			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=brickme]I am going to purchase a sheet of 6ft by 4ft Plywood for animating on, I am then going to get some 48x48 studded baseplates and drill a hole in the corner of each one, I can then screw the baseplates down onto the plywood to make a very good locking system, the screws can be easily covered by putting a, for instance, 4x6 brick over each one, so filming landscapes or generally anything will be a lot easier.

The good thing about it is that you can also undo the screws on the baseplate and simply use it as a wooden surface, or replace the grey baseplates with green baseplates and stuff. I think this is a good idea, what do you think?

[b]Pros:[/b]

- Very secure baseplates
- Allows for wide landscape shots
- Flexibility

[b]Cons:[/b]

- Requires a bit of space, not a problem for me though[/quote]

its a good idea, but i would never destroy a good baseplate like that. i always just use a glob of clay underneath it, occasionaly tape it down, or sometimes make a technic frame that goes underneath the table to hold in place.these all work well, except the technic one becuase it takes a while to make]]></content>
