16X16 Perforated Brick Base Plate, 65803 Pixel Art Building Block Accessories, Moc Compatible Base Plate ( Not Gobricks )
This 16x16 perforated baseplateis an extremely practical and versatile accessory in the world of MOC .Its defining feature is the grid of 16x16 circular perforations spaced at standard LEGO stud intervals, instead of the solid studs on a traditional baseplate. This design offers creators unprecedented flexibility and creative potential.
Key Features & Advantages:
Matrix Perforation Design: Each hole is precisely aligned to the Gobricks Unit (LU) grid, serving as both a connection point and an open space. This allows pins, axles, or bricks to be installed from any angle and at any position.
Ultimate Compatibility: Perfectly compatible with all standard bricks, Technic elements, pins, axles, etc. It can be seamlessly combined and connected with official LEGO baseplates.
Lightweight & Part-Efficient: Compared to filling an entire solid baseplate, using a perforated plate significantly reduces the number of bricks needed, lowering overall weight and cost.
Modular & Expandable: Multiple plates can be easily connected to form larger creative surfaces, making them fundamental modules for building large-scale scenes or murals.
Primary Uses & Applications:
Pixel Art Creation
The Perfect Canvas: Its grid of holes is an excellent foundation for creating pixel art. Creators can "plot" points using 1x1 plates or tiles in the holes, much like on a digital canvas, to accurately recreate 8-bit style graphics, portraits, video game characters, or company logos.
Easy Fixing & Alignment: Standard pins can securely hold pixel units in place within the holes, preventing shifting and ensuring perfect pixel alignment thanks to the grid.
Advanced MOC Modeling & Structural Reinforcement
Internal Framework Construction: An ideal internal support structure for complex MOCs like buildings, machinery, or mechs. Technic pins and axles can pass through the holes to create strong load-bearing frames inside the model.
Multi-Angle Connections: Allows parts to be mounted vertically, horizontally, or even at angles, breaking the limitation of traditional baseplates that only allow upward building. This enables creative structures like cantilevers, trusses, and complex mechanical linkages.
Cable & Pipe Management: For MOCs incorporating lighting, the holes are perfect for neatly securing and concealing wires.
Modular Scenes & Display Bases
Custom Terrain: Makes it easy to insert plants, railings, street lamps, and other parts to quickly create detailed micro-landscapes, dioramas, or wargaming tables.
Display Stands for Creations: Serves as a stable and aesthetically pleasing display base for small MOCs. Nameplates, stands, or decorative frames can be attached via the holes.
Education & Engineering Prototyping
Well-suited for educational settings to demonstrate concepts like grids, coordinates, and symmetry, or to act as a testbed for simple mechanical principles like levers and gear trains.
