I had a few of these plastic world tiles in my kit when I packed to travel to Chicago. The tiles are 1" tall tiles from this set here. The small square ones are 1" square, and the rectangular ones are 1" by 1 and 5/8":
So, with a little super glue …
More pics: link I will be adding more bits when I get home, of course, but wanted to start with the living spaces first. I will try to make it more like hull plates pulled from a spaceship wreck. PDF link TMP link Dan
PS. For the record, the original suggestion about using these plastic world tiles (officially called "manipulatives") came from another TMP member, Javelin98. I think this is the set he suggested:

That sounds like a neat idea! |

These red trapezoids and yellow hexagons might make some interesting structures too: auction Dan |

You've got your imagination on the boil, C2! Great idea. Thanks. |

I use square letter tiles for bases for my 28mm minis: TMP link |

Maybe could make some containers, too. |

Cool idea ! Could even be used as bases for many scales too … |

Look'd like a mini paintball field, awesome! |

Plastic 'dominoes', as in the sets used for falling domino, have been used for horse/motorcycle bases. I've tried using plastic Scrabble letters for building, but you do remember the part about being all thumbs… Doug |

I've been using those for years now as bases for figures, spaced armour on AFVs, and so on… VERY handy items, those! Leland R. Erickson

Cool set, I definitely see the uses for things like crates and greebling of flat surfaces. However, for basing purposes, it seems like a better option would be to go to EM4. When it's only a $1.50 USD (1gbp) for Twenty:
-20mm rounds, squares
-25mm rounds orsquares (slotted or round)
It's only a few pennies saved for bases that don't have as big a recess or a tab slot.

I'm about to get some of these stanchions to make the "panels" look more as if salvaged from a ship: link link link link link link Thoughts? Dan |

CC, Yes, every one of those are on my wish list at shapeways |

Nice work, Dan! And if you want a style of stanchion you don't see, let me know and I can probably whip something up! |

Do you know if the yellow hex tiles can have the red romboid fit together as walls (with the yellow hex tile roof)? Is this clear? To make like a hut? |
