Tudor Skinned Bases and Multilevel-Grid (Openforge 2.0 Magnetic/Openlock)

thingiverse

Hi Folks! I use these "wooden" reskinned bases for my Tudor-style tiles by devonjones, especially when building multi-story or multi-level structures. I uploaded them in this design as magnetic and magnetic openlock combo. Additionally, I reskinned some standard openlock bases (beware that one kind has only one skinned side "front" and the other has two for "corners") which I use as a modular grid to hold the 2nd story up. Just link them together with the clip by devonjones, which I posted as well. As seen in the picture above and here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3590055, you can leave some spots out if needed, allowing for room for stairs or staircases. You have two options for multi-story Tudor buildings: 1) Use reskinned Tudor bases with openlock/magnetic combo on your Tudor tiles and don't use an "extra" grid underneath. The clip mechanism will give the tiles enough stability to hold as a second layer, but you'll want to use bases that offer clip options in every direction so you don't restrict future building options. 2) The second option works best when using magnetic-only bases on your Tudor tiles. However, the magnets themselves may not provide enough stability to hold as a second layer on their own. Therefore, you can use a multilevel grid which acts as an extra "separate" set of bases underneath, connected with openlock clips for stability. I find the first option more convenient, with the slight downside of visible lock openings on the side. However, in any case, you'll be able to leave some gaps out for staircases and such. So far, this only works for middle tiles since you'll need a single 2nd story wall besides the staircases when you don't want them central. I will upload a special "two-story wall" tile to solve this particular problem in the future! EDIT: HERE https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3650467 I hope you can use these! Cheers
