Also needed
- 1 × light bluish gray 48×48 baseplate (LEGO Classic 11024).
- Backing board, 384 × 384 mm. 9 to 12 mm MDF or plywood, plus strong double-sided tape or grab adhesive.
- Brick separator for lifting misplaced plates, and 12 small tubs for sorting.
Rough cost
The baseplate is $14.99 (LEGO list price). The 643 plates come to roughly $109.36 to $169.80. Parts total: $124.35 to $184.79.
Plates are counted at the 1×1 rate of $0.04 to $0.06 a stud (BrickLink price guide, 21 October 2026). Bigger plates cost less per stud, so the real total is lower. Add seller postage.
Before you build
- Upload the wanted list to BrickLink, or the Pick a Brick list at LEGO Pick a Brick (Upload a list). Confirm stock before paying.
- Sort the plates into tubs by code.
- Each baseplate has nine 16×16 sections. Sections with nothing on them are skipped.
- Each step adds one colour. The box shows which plates and how many, and the new ones are outlined in yellow. Count studs in from the row and column numbers.
- After every section, press the plates down with a flat book and tick it off.
Finishing
- Cut the backing board to 384 × 384 mm, or larger if you want a border for a frame.
- Fix the baseplate square to the board.
- Hang it from fixings screwed into the board, rated for its weight.
