If you plan to display an MOC frequently or long term- it may be worth it to make something like a folding self contained transport/display stand from wood- but if it’s one and done then probably not.

The model railroad guys have lots of trucks and inspiration you could borrow (funny enough you’ll see lots of the same crowd at Lego events and model railroad events...) but they do tend to the more expensive and nicer end of ingenuity- although they know how to save some coin where it is not as prudent to “do it right.” Likewise the diorama and table top crews have some overlap and also have some tips and tricks for set ups and transport.

But top vote to make moving your MOC easier is to make it modular and maybe look in to Masonite. The “table top” part can have a little flex to the material so long as you build a frame to brace it- and that frame can be cheap wood, folded cardboard, Ive seen guys use PVC pipe as a base frame for its cost, light weight, and the fact you can work with it basically with no tools asides common house hold stuff or a $5 harbor freight dremmel.

Next to Masonite another popular semi light weight base with minimal flex is to get yourself some foam board like wonder foam or whatever and glue a few sheets together in a sandwich. Still pretty cheap, very little work, relatively light, minimal flex.

Alright, now I can finally read this.

Yeah, the idea is to make it modular, that was my bad on the description if you mistook it for vertical. I mean, as that's where the load would bear weight, you have no idea the weight or the pressure points the set itself would be pressing; you assumed correct.

And yeah, I realized how great of a "base" for the structure would really be with a technic system when I built the Hogwarts Castle. Even that was struggling with anything that resembled an angle, a quarter of the set is built specifically so you can build that thin bridge, and to really capture it right, you have to make that dumb ass bridg parallel and then the rest of the set shifts and it makes for really awkward placement; which is why when I move all this shit back Voltron and my deluxe Hulkbuster are going to look like Kang is invading; it saves space in a literal sense.

About the flex, that's still like.. downward over a horizontal surface, and I tend to like to use the same surfaces to draw on. Making little stack-able boxes though, where I could just put pieces for sets would be good for the base (not the top itself, the plastic wal-mart boxes I have now already flex WAY too much). As I'm moving around a lot of furniture while doing this (the table I used before wasn't mine, even though I carved my name into that shit in 95 yo)... so I'll have space to toy around with.
Actually, that model train relation makes perfect sense and I'm about to learn some tricks. Is that what you do for your "building" outlet? That'd make perfect sense as to why you pointed out the lightweght-ness of Duplo pieces like a month ago... and well.. physics, engineering, pneumonics, thermodynamics... Yo it explains a lot of shit, aite, just sayin that. True Hollywood Story, Google it or Youtube it, it's real... aite, Darkness and Prince say whatsup from above. They ain't

sure bout Rick.
Cocaine is a helluva drug.

lol. You speak true words. As for my tricks... I’ve been around the Lego block.

But have you been INSIDE the block? o_O

Austin Powers: Oh no, I'm in a box, oh a box, what is this? Oh look I'm falling over now!

I’ve been inside a giant Lego block.

Ah, so you do understand. I assume the Maw is dead.... this day extracts a heavy... tool.

Long live the brick!

I found something bsetter, not sure the name of yet, but it's basically two plywood pieces with masonite in the middle, but with a coating on top to keep it smooth. $29 for a 49 inch by 97 inch piece at Home Depot... and they'll cut it whatever I want for free. I'm going to go full ha on it, spare myself the screws to link it, and basically turn each piece into a gigantic fucking baseplate in like a jigsaw puzzle, but each piece with the same cut, as not to complicate it. Six 2x2 ft pieces and one 4x2ft piece, as that maximizes the area of the board being cut without creating oblong shapes. This

is gonna be dope.

Send us the pictorial result!

Nice! I’m going to keep my fingers crossed for the update.
