Thank you, I love building scuplture and if I had enough green brick I would
have covered the table.
I know most people don't have a lot of brick that is why I wanted to put the
baseplates on supports and not build the baseplates up to the desired height.

By using supports you can use less brick and it doesn't matter what color
they are. Now you would have still needed a few brick to cover the gaps
between the baseplates, but that would only have been 64x1 bumps worth of
green as a minimum.
I still think trying to coordinate how these raised baseplates would then
interact with each other is too complex so lets just go with a flat design
instead. Does anyone feel like building a river?
