FOUND this on TMP this morning (i missed the first discussion) and thought it might be useful to someone here.

i admit, this is a clever idea for service tunnels for asteroid or planetary installations, or massive space hulk passageways, etc.

Interesting idea, but personally i'd want to base the pipes so they don't rock when someone knocks the table.

My issue would be after all the cutting I'd have to do a mass amount of sanding to prevent my slicing my fingers everytime I reached to move a figure. Nice idea none-the-less

It's pvc. You won't cut your fingers. And pvc is very easy to sand. :pipboy2:

After having played with a good amount of PVC, I've cut myself a number of times on unfinished edges. It could be that I'm just clumsy though.

I'd recommend a nice big woodworking file (not a needle file) for cleaning the edges. PVC will clog sandpaper and sanding blocks really fast. You'll just need to clean the file with a wire brush every so often.

I would think a bigger diameter pipe would allow for a wider grid and you could use the larger base figs if needed. Plus this would give room for side features like piping or wire runs, etc. I may try this soon and will post pics accordingly.
