Sounds like you'll have fun. If its just a diorama type of thing and not a
modular project that other can contribute to, why bind each module to the
baseplate? It sounds like you could get a better result by building it
exactly to scale.
good luck.

| Travis, One word "Space" is something that I don't have enough of. I do all my works on action figures and Legos on the same 4'x8' hobby table.
