have done something VERY similar myself 😀 (it looks ace check my profile pic with an illuminated 4ground hut)

On suggestion i would have is to forget about wires…. I use copper tape and conductive paint (yes you take quite a hit in resistance if its applied to thick, but you could also make a capacitive interface in the terrain it self…), the beauty of that is that you can keep the terrain gameable i.e. roofs can still come off…

You can cut the tape with scissors, so its easy to get thin busses cut, although i use a pcb pin now on the roof to make it less critical in terms of allignment.

My rgb rig has a different application though, i will be using it along with a miniature smoke machine i have made from an ecig and a childs bubble gun, and plan to use it for making enchanted fog and similar…

As an enhancement to your rig, make it talk DMX then could use an opensource lighting desk app to queue effects as well, lightening and fire effects would look good…
