Worldworks Games made plastic Terraclips, years ago. They came in "I", "L", and "T" shapes, for holding 1.7mm thick cardboard walls and floors together, to make 3D terrain. I am looking for currently available products which are virtually identical. My goal is to use a similar product to assemble 2.75D terrain, such as is shown in my Steading of the Hill Giants model (G1 AD&D adventure module written by Gary Gygax, circa 1978). The current issue I have is the EVA Foam mats, with slots cut into them to hold my cardstock wall sections, require that I assemble each individual wall section every time I want to put the model together. This process, for the entire model (7 feet by 8 feet), requires around two hours… I will never have two hours setup time at a game convention, so I need to be able to assemble the rooms ahead of game time, then assemble the parts to make the whole layout, in 20 minutes, or less. Cheers! |

I use something similar I 3D printed but for thiner card. I could do something for you but but alas by the time a get round to it and with the prohibitive costs of postage to the US on top the cost will be irrational . Perhaps somebody else in the US could do it for you. It's a relatively simple job. |

UshCha, if you have a source for the STL files, I can buy them, and have a USA-based Etsy seller print them for me. Cheers! |

I will have to create the files, no problem but I need the thickness of the material (it needs to be accurate, not a guesstimate) and what bits you need and how wide the base needs ds to be to keep it stable. I guess you would want length joiners, Mid way or end 90 deg corners, Maybe a T junction and a cross 'cross roads' connector. |
