ThreadText: # Simple way to build large circular plates?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-05-29)
  
  I was wondering if there is a simple way to create a large circle or circular plates. I want to build a MOC of the Hero Factory assembly tower (*In LDD first*) but most of the pieces that form circles don't give enough clearance for a decently sized CCBS model. I was wondering if there were any bricks or techniques that would help for this specific MOC.

  ### Answer by username_3 on 2020-06-02. Score: 3
  
  The largest truely round base plates in the LEGO system fit in a 8x8 square. You can build them from two [LegoPlate, Round Half 4 x 8](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6003&name=Plate,%20Round%20Corner%206%20x%206&category=%5BPlate,%20Round%5D#T=C) or from four quarters.
  
  For a bigger (and thicker!) base plate there is a Duplo version of the above mentioned base plate, fitting into a 16x16 studs LEGO system square: [LegoDuplo, Plate Round Corner 4 x 8 Double](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=29304&name=Duplo,%20Plate%20Round%20Corner%204%20x%208%20Double&category=%5BDuplo,%20Plate%5D#T=C)
  
  EDIT: For a thicker base, you can use [these bricks: Brick, Round Corner 10 x 10 with Slope 33 Edge](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=58846&idColor=2#T=C&C=2). They make a base fitting into a 20x20 square.
