Easy Building idea..
« on: January 25, 2010, 09:12:06 PM »
Just wondering if anyone knows if something like this is available.

something like this, made of plastic but thin enough for card stock (maybe as thick as cereal box or, wo layers of cardstock, to print out)


Use four of these for corners, then have a set to somehow hold the roof (removable) and floor.

Any thoughts? I'm probably giving away a million dollar idea here.
Looking for a set of rules that adaptable for different genres.

I'm not sure a pre-fabricated one exists, but I would imagine it would be pretty easy to make.

That's what I was thinking. I might try my hand at making an example of one in 3DS tonight. I even have an idea for a roof/floor holder

Actually, in the old WHFB starter I got something similar to that for some small cardstock buildings that came with it.  There might be something in the plasticard world.  Or an office supply store.  I was thinking along the lines of the spine from the small binders used for reports.

Can't see.  :(  All I see is a box with a red "X".

It's this.


Maybe some scale H girders could be used to make one?
