Each module will need to be built on a 32x32 baseplate

I hate to be persnickity, but if we moved each door 1 stud closer to the
outside corner it's nearest to, we could have multiples of 16x16
baseplates-- which may lend itself to further coolness seeing as it'd allow
for 16x16, 16x32, and 48x48 baseplates to be used (if anyone wants to go
that far)

OOps!  You're right, I actually intended to do that.  Having them spaced on
stud closer to the edges also ensures that there will be even spacing between
doors in two modules that are side-by-side.

This is a neat idea.

I'll revamp the pictures this evening and update the images.

Thanks!  Persnick away!


Also-- I've only got 1 lousy 32x32 baseplate in grey that has a solid "field
of studs". But I've got slews of grey plates & the like. And some green
32x32's of course. But those won't mix in well with the base. Might we
decide to have the doors elevated by 1 plate? That way I could build a floor
that was 2-plates thick and build on that, and people who wanted to build on
baseplates could just raise the walls up by 1 plate level?

Sure, I think so - any thoughts from anybody else?  If not, I'll raise them • all
up by one plate ...

Note that a baseplate plus one plate isn't quite the same height as two plates,
but you could cover a green or blue baseplate with grey plates and work ok.

It would be cool to go a little higher, and then you could have pits and
secret hideaways in the floor...

(...) Quite true.. (...) Ooooooo, I like! If only I had the extra bricks available to, I'd make some staircase modules raising up a level, along with large tiled landings to put other modules onto at that same raised level.
