Post subject:  Anchors beneath tiles?

So building up my first few sets I've become a bit disenchanted with how upper levels just sort of rest on top of the lower levels. Nothing terribly wrong with it, but it makes it that much harder to make a building up in advance and then just plop it directly on the table in one fell swoop, keep bumped levels from sliding around, or just turn it upside down for no conspicuously necessary reason. Clearly there must be a solution.

Fiddling around with it for a few moments turned up what may be a solution. Something so stunningly obvious that I feel there must be a catch: anchors on the bottom of tiles. The way that walls slot into posts leaves a nice big open space both on top and on the bottom with the same dimensions and what works on the bottom seems like it would work on top as well. Based on my initial tests (i.e. just flipping a tile upside down) it works rather well and yields a very durable new structure... this has me worried. Has anyone else tried something like this?

My biggest concerns are that it would potentially place too much stress on the posts and that it would make it too difficult to easily remove levels, but for many cases it sounds like a quick, easy way to get more stability.

I use railings on all upper floors just to maintain them in place...

Ninja'ed! Well, here's my complete post anyway, but I'd say if you don't mind putting twice as many anchors on tiles, then more power to you! I think the railing solution is the way to go, and shouldn't look too odd.



I wouldn't be worried, as long as the anchors don't get in the way. I used anchors underneath pieces when I was working on walkways. From what I recall, it wasn't a complete joy slotting the anchors into the posts (you know, you get one in, one pops out...), and it certainly makes terrain that should be removable harder to, er, remove.

Another thing to try might be low railings that plug into the tiles. I can't remember which sets already have em, and which may not. I know a set like Thoumont's has em. They're easy to assemble, and when you plug them into the sides of the tiles, they help:
a) cover up the side of the tile, giving a nice, clean texture.
b) extend a little below the tile, giving more of a lip that holds things in place

They're also probably more fun to assemble than tons and tons more anchors. ;)

That's my 2ยข - let me know how things go when you have a chance to really build out with the concept.

I've used the low railings, turned them upside down, and it doesn't work too bad

One might even make bands (or segments) of architectural trim that match your building, with the railing tabs on the back, that stuck down just far enough to hold the upper floor in place.
