This would be a very cool idea.  Even those not attending Pennsic could work
on it and send their tiles along.  I think with not much trouble it would be
easy to figure the thickness and size.  The Arms I did in marzipan were
about, oh, maybe 3 / 8 of an inch thick or a little better.  The general
size was about 7 inches by 9 inches or so IIRC.  They dried well, travel
well and hold up to the whole adventure of being dragged or mailed all over
the place.  I think sugarplate in that size would do well also except you
may want to layer it to regulate the drying time so it doesn't crack.  White
gingerbread, or dark for that matter, would do well.  Shortbread wouldn't.
Hey!  Anybody really want to do this?
Olwen, deciding on a pattern...or should we find a documentable one to copy?
