I have used duplo, and the normal bricks fit OK on top, but obviously only in
multiples of 2 and also only using 2*x bricks not plates or 1*x bricks.
The bonding is quite weak, so you need to remember to lift by the base not by
the upper part.

You don't need a solid base, you can build up a framework out of bricks and
plates in colours you don't use very much (resists urge to refer to new greys).
I estimate you would use 80-90% less bricks using a framework approach. Don't
ask me to send pics, my frameworks are kinda random and ugly, usually rushed
because they are the boring part.
