DK,

Any progress on Mt. Doom? How big was were you thinking in terms of physical size?

No progress. It needs to be 1) as large as possible and 2) fit inside my Toyota RAV4, so that means something like the size of Minas Tirith.

It already takes six or eight trips from the car to the venue carrying stuff; unless I get more minions, getting a bigger car is the path of madness.

Also, Minas Tirith just barely fits in most doors -- anything bigger than Minas Tirith might not even be able to get into the convention site.

In other words, be able to get the thing through doors easier at the price of many more trips to the car.

No, that is why you need minions :)

You just need a bigger car for the minions to unload.

More minions and a bigger car is a plan I can get behind.

So what are the planned dimensions meaning height and width with modular design contemplated (and minions!)

About 36" to 48" tall; a steep cone with the back sliced off flat.
