Build Standards

While at Charm City LUG we encourage LEGO fans to get creative and build whatever they want, sometimes we strive to make LEGO building more of a ‘team sport’. In these cases, where more than one builder may be contributing to a build or layout of builds, there is value in establishing a standard to allow multiple builders to easily coordinate their efforts such that they come together seamlessly at a display event.

Below you will find standards details for various standards utilized by Charm City LUG and other AFOLs in the community.
