I originally envisioned Marathon in this manner, with a primary structure of
Technic beams and connectors. The problem was too much dislocation of the plates;
I always wanted them to fit more tightly than they'd go without buckling under
tension strain. A few of the side panels are plates over a substructure, but the
bulk had to be converted back to brick walls. I may revisit it, though--I now
have enough Technic beams to do a large section this way. I think it would have
to be mixed methods to be most effective, with good planning of stress points so
it could be lifted without crumpling. I was just being impatient, I think.
best,
Lindsay
