Lego Wall/Table

g0g

So the kids got some of that Mayka Tape stuff for Christmas and absolutely love it! I'm thinking of now going to the next level and converting one of their tables to being studded or else maybe even part of a wall of the playroom. I've seen lots of videos online of people glueing etc. My question is, has anyone on here done that and do you have any tips?

I saw "Brik Tile" online but seems to only be available in USA....
There are lots of unbranded ones on Amazon UK, many with large numbers of positive reviews. Anyone on here got experience with any of those? I'd prefer not go mad spending, but equally I don't want the plates to be so substandard that models don't stick to them properly.
If anyone has done this how did you approach it?

The table is only a cheap Ikea one so my initial thought was going to be to buy this 6-pack and just glue them down?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

I got base plates in Smyth's recently for less.

We’ve got a “Lego mini figure wall” in our house. We used grey Lego base plates glued and double side sticky taped to the wall. Then used white plates on the base plate. I don’t really have a photo on the phone here but you will get the idea from the video on my instagram below. It works well.

I also glued some base plates to the top of ikea units for the kids (and myself ) you will see them in my photos on there. I’m (attempting) to build my own version of the echo base from empire strikes back on top of one. Though the photos on there of it are older and I’ve expanded it more.

Hadn't thought of checking local - was it these ones? Do bricks stick to them close to as well as normal Lego baseplates?

Wow, love the wall setup you have! Base setup looks cool! Did you use original Lego plates?

Hi, yeh its all original lego and minifigs including the base plates. cost a few quid but did it gradually over two years.

I've used gorilla glue to glue donated baseplates to a notice board in work (library) worked a treat.
Only thing is they're different colours.



It's gets a lot of play and so far it's holding up well.
