This is a very interesting idea Joel. I'm so bent on using everything Lego
I didn't even think about using paper. But I think this might do the trick!
I might try this idea except use something like parchment instead of
cardboard and make a frame in the manner you suggested. You could make an
entire frame out of 1x's and have paper spanning the middle of it.
But the other problem I think KK and I are having is the fact that even if
we do this, the interior walls are still gonna be 3 studs wide. I'm
shooting for two or less.
I was thinking earlier today about using plates for walls instead of bricks
by slotting them in between studs. To my dismay I discovered that your door
idea would not work because a plate + tile is just a tad too thick.
Oh well back to the drawing board.
