Below another method where the interior of the building can be lifted out of it to grant easier access. A project still in progress, I might add  :D

That's quite interesting!
But as you say all the walls may be a bit annoying to get access to the miniatures and move them (or move a measure tape).

I was thinking on doing some isometric modular maps for building's interiors, in fact I didn't mention them in the post as I want to do their own post with a "how to do" tutorial.

This is an example of a scenario played inside a house (with a bunch of zombies trying to get in):

Interesting pictures and ideas in both the article and the thread, thanks for sharing.  :)

I always make the interior of buildings (although not always with many details) because I would feel very frustrated not to be able to enter the houses in RPG-ish skirmish games.

I tend to make the length and width of buildings slightly smaller than real, to gain space on the gaming table. But I also noticed that seen from above and with miniatures inside the interior often seems cramped although at real scale, it takes time to get used to it: real kitchens or bedrooms etc. in most houses are not large at all.
