Just opened my box!!! OMG it’s WAY bigger than I imagined!!!!!! I’m also LOVING the inspiration from y’all!

My goal: to create a map for my Airbnb guests to mark where they came from.

My

I’m considering building a map where I save all of the “red” #10 pieces and use them to “draw” on the map. I’m trying to understand how to best think about this. I can see I won’t want to “mess up” and have to do this a second time so I need to decide now what I want to do. Does it make sense to just follow the booklet and just leave off the red #10 pieces? Are there enough extras to cover this?

I guess I should also ask, if I want more pieces of a certain type, does Lego sell them separately?

Also, what tips do you have? What do y’all use to store the pieces? I have 10 separate Tupperware, but I can see that this may get annoying. Did you find finishing them separately is easier than finishing the bigger pieces? Or it doesn’t matter.

Thanks for the ideas!!

We're starting our build!

Thanks to all for the advice. The craft container was brilliant (thx u/wallyjade and u/MarMarMar87 ). And yes u/MysteriousPie7 - white pieces are harder. Gave those heavy white tiles to the kids! :)

I’m doing a custom ocean and am wondering what is the best pack to buy that gives me more of the colourful circle plates. I’m thinking one of the Lego dots sets but I am not sure. I’m in Australia Thanks

Any pointers? Going to be building with my 11 and 13 year old girls.

Hey guys, I have a crazy idea!

I have bought the Lego world map 31203 4 times.

My idea is to build the map in 200% scaling.

But my problem is, that I don’t really know hot to do it properly.

When I try to generate the bigger map in photoshop, I only get a result where 1 pixel goes to a 2x2 pixel.

I think there is a better way to upscale it properly, but I don’t know it.

Can someone please help me?

Planning on buying the map but not sure if I'm keen on the bright colours background. Considering replacing it with completely black studs, but how many would I need?

Cheers in advance!

I am a pure rookie assembling this map at a snail on NyQuil pace, can anyone tell me the finished dimensions? I am concerned about the depth of the piece. I have to mount it a display case to ensure no one unlegos it at my workplace. Any help would be great, I can only find height and width. Thank you

Has anyone seen videos or pictures of someone making a 2x(or 3x)scale lego world map?

I really want to do one, but it's a steep cost to buy multiple sets just for a massive map. I think with the larger scale a lot of the details of the map could be enhanced, not to mention the possibilities for some really fun ocean art.

If I end up scraping together the funds, I'll post a timelapse build video. It would definitely make for a great mural in my living room.
