I cut out some 3mm thick MDF squares and rectangles using a small table saw.  The idea being that it takes a lot less time and money to do the bases this way than to print out complete base tiles.

This also has the added benefit that the middle of each base plate has a space beneath it.  This could come in handy down the track.

Mind the Gap

It was at this point that I realised I had done my calculations a bit off when deleting the middle of each tile and leaving a lip to support the wood floors.

The lip was a little too far down, 2.03mm on the squares and 1.8mm on the edge pieces.

Just a minor inconvenience that creates a little more work, but nothing to get upset about.  I will use XPS foam to raise the wood where it meets the frames.

This may actually turn out to be helpful as it will allow me to create small undulations in the ground surface.

 

I used rapid two-part glue to stick the wood to the filament frames.

I mixed the glue directly on the wooden parts and then smeared it around the edges with a stick.
