I don't plan to attach the baseplates to the brick-built supports below - because the supports are attached to each other, and the roads, buildings etc. at ground level are also attached to each other, everything should stay put just fine.<br /><br />Good luck with your layout, incidentally!drdavewatfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046583913458496903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-18623175733591176342016-02-09T10:03:37.418+00:002016-02-09T10:03:37.418+00:00Hi Dave,

You went with a brick built road. I went for the other option of using tiles on 16x32 base plates. I would prefer to have like yourself a brick built structure to support the city on top. My main concern is how to connect the base plates with the structure below. <br /><br />Do I just sit the buildings on top and hope for the best or do you have an alternative to stop the road side buildings from moving?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-15350431664089552912016-02-09T08:47:09.992+00:002016-02-09T08:47:09.992+00:00Ah, I see I missed the pin holes in the sides of t...Ah, I see I missed the pin holes in the sides of the squares.

I like the idea of colour-coding the supports depending on where they're supposed to fit and may do this.

Color code the different height legs and styles of connectors. Should be a bit more compact for moving too.gevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468332243625587095noreply@blogger.com
