Another possibility is to build the modules atop dark grey 8x8/8x16
megabricks (suitably multiplied, of course); that would solve the odd
baseplate depth problem. Yes, I know it's more expensive, but by the
prevailing price for 8x16s on BrickLink you'd probably be looking at
a cost of about $10 per 32x32 area covered. Also, megabricks are mighty
smart-lookin', though unless you have very carefully made support, the
break every 8 or 16 bricks can take away from structural integrity.
(This is the problem that I'm running into, blah.)
But any "support network" need not be made of LEGO, if the elevation
does not have anything underneath it. Actually, even if it *does*...
lengths of 2x4 might suffice, if made into I-sections.
