I have done a similar thing with a building I made -- I have a parking
deck that uses the large-grey baseplates for floors. The baseplates are
thin & flimsy, so what I did for stability was put in columns of 2x2's
for support in the center. It was sturdy enough that I was able to
build a TON on the top. THe beginning was a little slow-going, since
pushing on the baseplate will cause it to bend a bit, but as you get
higher, it gets easier.
It looks sorta Like this:

| Okay, I think I see how it works, did you have to tun the bricks far under the baseplate so you can attach things to it while it's up there. or are the baseplates sturdy enought to do it?? Thanks for the info. Larry Andersen wrote in message (...) (26 years ago, 20-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)
