So I started with a mdf base and added a thick card floor piece, scribed to represent floorboards ...
Then I added wall supports using mdf with plastic corner screw blocks - just stuck in place with glue Leaving a slot between the floor and supports for the walls to fit into ...
I made up the three walls and slotted them in position, not wanting any complex holding piece for the corners I scribed some thin card offcuts, folded them and used some blue tack - which holds the walls together nicely ...
The 'blank' room assembled with a spare piece of card with a reminder of the measurements of the walls, for when I want to make further room wall sets.
For the flat pack room setup I used 3mm mdf and 2.5mm thick card from some old A4 box folder lids.In order to check the method out I converted one of my current rooms from 'fixed' setup to flat pack mode. I chose the cellar/inventors workshop, which worked out alright; the paved floor section was saved and I can now use that as an alternative to the standard wooden planked floor.
Now for the next bit - turning the blank room into something ; current idea is to make up an non-palace interior - a coffee shop or bar
