I interpreted this as 10x10 studs, given that studs is the standard unit of measure in Lego. As to fitting 300 pieces on a 10x10 stud plate, it all depends on the pieces! I've got a vignette in mind but I'm yet to start building, mainly because I need to rip a bunch of pieces off my son's built sets. If I'm quick, he might not notice...

Is that supposed to be 10x10 studs? For some reason I read that as 10x10 inches which is a 32x32 stud plate! I was thinking... how would you fit 300 pieces onto a 10stud plate, it must be 32x32! DOH!
Hi cornbread. djanscak is right and should be 10x10 studs, not 10x10 inches. :)

I have a quick question. It says it has to be a 10x10 base, but would it be okay if it still stayed in that size, but a different shape? What I mean by that is that it would still have 100 studs on the base, just like the 10x10.

Same question as CarsonHart, am I allowed to build on a baseplate, but keep it confined to a 10x10 area. It will probably be marked with some bricks or tiles.

My question is different though. I am not building on a baseplate, I just want to see if we have to build on a 10x10 square, or if we can build on a different shape base, as long it uses 100 studs.

Hi Carson. No, you can't build it in a different shape even if the perimeter and area is the same. The base must be 10x10.

Hi Legobrandon. As long as the base is 10x10, its really up to you on what bricks to use.

I just had a question about the base. You said that it had to be a 10x10 base, but there are some that don't follow that rule. Also, some have quick a bit of overhang. I'm just wondering, is that allowed?
