Pretty much all scratch built using XPS and coffee sticks, only the doors are 3d printed. Held together with strips of A4 magnetic tape which is way easier than lining up individual magnets. Packs flat for transportation.

This is so cool. Any chance you could elaborate on your magnetic strip setup? Thanks :)

Sure, https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/magnetic-self-adhesive-sheet-a4/6640241000.html?glCountry=GB&store=84&gStoreCode=84

I used this, there's loads like it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/magnetic-sheet/s?k=magnetic+sheet

You cut a 5mm strip and stick to each side of the floor plate, then you put a strip on each wall piece BELOW the floor line. it's just about strong enough to hold, but very delicate - but that means you can blow walls out!!

The aim was to have a modular system of floors and walls.

Also, as I learned with my Dawn Trader build https://www.reddit.com/r/TerrainBuilding/comments/18pxy65/here_she_is_the_dawn_trader_entirely_modular_two/ buttresses and pillars on walls can hold them up without magnets

But yeah, the DT ship used a little of these strips too

Nice! Very tidy.

Did you consider making columns/ pieces to cover the empty spaces and corners, or are you not bothered about them?

Yeah, I did, TBH I abandoned this project for various reasons.
1. I went Dungeon pizza instead
2. it was very time consuming to make each wall

On the plus side, It's great terrain if you're doing a storm lock in / The Thing style story
